hey I know it's Barbara's 50th this year and all, but has anyone seen anything celebrating or promoting that? Cause I recently saw stuff for Harley's 25th and it got me thinking that I haven't seen anything promotional like that for Barbara. Have I missed anything?

Harley will always be promoted more. She outsells by a landslide in merchandise every female comic character. There's a reason Batman will have to share his day with Harley this year.

Her and Kara are sisters in this verse because Kara was raised by Jim alongside Babs apparently.

I like the design as well. Unfortunately, I have zero interest in Garage for obvious reasons. Originally Posted by RedQueen

Interesting! She seems to be stealing some of Zinda Blake's look - I'm looking forward to the Kelly/Lanzig series coming out soon! Originally Posted by RedQueen

Curious, why are you OK with Garage when you're not with Bombshells? Still holding out feint hope? Originally Posted by millernumber1

Well, I really, really dislike Bennett's writing in Bombshells (I've read at least 50 of the issues, so I did give it a chance), and even though the art is pretty fun, I'm not really a fan of the whole concept of superheros fighting in a real life war (or really any war). Historical war is too complicated and messy for me to really enjoy the stronger contrasts between good and evil that superheros are best suited for (and while I do think there's plenty of room for moral complexity in superheros, I'm not a fan of things like Watchmen that undermine the very concept of an inspirational figure who becomes a hero because he or she wants to make the world a better place - stories that undermine the very possibility of altruistic heroism).

I don't love the bombshell look, and might wait for TPBs before looking at the series, as I don't have room for a twice monthly at the moment.

Feels like an interesting contrast with the Burnside look, given it's using the traditional black and yellow colors (and is a little more justified being a jacket and pants look in my opinion). Originally Posted by RedQueen

I liked Bombshells initially and I enjoy the concepts but Bennet's writing just isn't for me. And now it's gonna tackle issues such as internment camps which I'm side eyeing a bit because I've been caustic about how she's approached other sensitive subject manner too...
I'm more into apocalyptic futures in comics more so than historical stuff they try to tackle. Gonna give Gotham City Garage a go. The interviews seem to make it very Mad Max like in themes. GCG seems very up my alley. And Barda is in it so I'm gonna definitely give this one for the long haul.

Agree. Kind of glad to see the yellow and black come back. It's very striking on this look. Originally Posted by Frontier

They said something Barbara being dark or something so I wouldn't be shocked if she was the brooder of the two sisters.

I wouldn't be surprised if she comes off like Alex Danvers from the Supergirl TV show. Originally Posted by RedQueen
