Starting this August, DC Comics will be releasing their most popular variant cover theme: Bombshells! This is the second time that the Bombshells have found their way to the cover of comics.
There will be a total of 21 comics. In addition, DC has decided to expand the popular theme into a new ongoing digital-first comic series titled, “DC Comics Bombshells.”
“DC COMICS BOMBSHELLS is one of the wildest things I’ve ever had the pleasure to create–a story of the DC heroines, all the DC heroines, in a crisis that defines themselves as well as their generation,” explains writer Marguerite Bennett. “I cannot possibly tell you how excited and grateful I am to be involved in a story this massive and inventive. The series will explore war stories, romances, mysteries, heists, action adventure, and horror in a way that only these characters could do–I cannot wait for this book to drop. Pun very much intended.” For the complete official statement, click here.
