The weakness of this collection is that the artist changes with pretty much every issue (and they're short issues) which not only gives a disjointed feel, but, well, although some of the artists are good, some of them... aren't. On the plus side, it's a good story.
On the face of it, this is Wonder Girl v. Clayface, but really it's about the internment of Japanese Americans in 1943, allowing the series to explore the darker side of the home front, rather than battling Nazis. The way that the threat is overcome is also, while fitting for the protagonists, somewhat atypical for superhero fiction, which I liked, but others might not. In fairness, it's not the strongest the series has been, but the subject matter pulls it up above the middling.
The collection rounds out with an extended teaser for the next plot arc, telling us who's going to be in it (including a number of new Bombshells) but nothing much else of substance. Although it does look like we're going to be wandering even further from real-world history than we already have done.
