It’s funny to me that statue concepts are spurring comics; but hey whatever works. This is a fairly fun little series that includes my gal, Harley Quinn. So of course I have to own them all, read in trade and like them, just because. Lol. Gotham City Garage isn’t bad, it’s just not brilliant. As a quick fun read I can recommend it. There is a fair bit of plot, including Batman working for Lex Luther, Catwoman playing all sides as she tends to and our lead gal SuperGirl just discovering her power...

I quite enjoyed this. It feels like a less complex version of Bitch Planet with AU versions of DC characters.In a world where Lex Luthor has programmed Gotham (the whole world?) into compliance, Natasha Irons has created a place for rebels who are fighting back. In an interesting twist, it was Jim Gordon that found the Kryptonian and adopted her as his own. The series starts when Lex's men (including Batsy) come to take her in because she's not under Lex's control. She escapes and meets the wome...

really good elseworld story. love the art and the biker bar vibes.

Another DC Elseworlds series based on a sculpture line. This has no business being any good, yet I was thoroughly entertained. DC's superheroines meet Mad Max. Lex Luthor controls humanity in the last refuge on earth. Meanwhile DC's superheroines maintain their freedom out in the wastelands while attempting to undermine Luthor's control and stay under Batman's radar.PS - DC, bring back the Elseworlds moniker so we know right away this is out of continuity!

Did not know I wanted a Mad Max biker gang of all my favorite DC characters, but apparently I did!

4.5/5"Mad Max AU" with most of the main characters being badass DC ladies? I am so in.

DC Comics has a full deck of symbolic characters that are interesting but are often weighed down by their continuity. That's why their Elseworld titles work more often than not - they're able to shuffle those symbols, play them out differently, and explore their impact in different orientations.That's what we get here - Supergirl and Barbara Gordon are sisters at the center of the story of a world where Batman and Luthor have locked down the world, and the rebels are all bikers (led by Natasha I...

I found myself enjoying this book far more than I thought I would. Set in a dystopian world were Lex Luthor rules as a God-King and a handful of our favorite DC ladies are part of a motorcycle gang that don't like him one bit. Also, Batman has sold his soul to Luthor and is a bad guy. Things are a little different in this book but it all works. The world the writers build is straight out of the Mad Max universe but it belongs to this series. From the gardens of Luthor land to the desert wastelan...

DC’s heroines riding through an apocalyptic hellscape on motorcycles, fighting a dystopian regime... of course this was bumped up my TBR list. Gotham City Garage presents a fresh twist on some of our most beloved heroines’s backstories while throwing them into an epically brutal background. And frankly, I was a fan. The plot was somewhat derivative and a bit hard to follow at times, but overall it was an entertaining read. The art starts off with a certain gritty beauty to it, though it does suf...

Cute but not aimed for me. The art work is also not to my liking, really rough and makes the fights kind of ugly to be honest. I will say it's interesting to see Batman as the bad guy though. But I think this is more suited for like teen girls and such who will enjoy this a lot more than me.

A strange, yet interesting twist on the characters that makes everything feel a little fresh and different. It reminds me a bit of injustice but not in a bad way. Batman as a villain is interesting, but not my favorite thing. The gritty setting is fun. Catwoman & co on motorcycles in the desert wasteland is kinda cool.

Not every comic book based on a statue line is created equal.

Well, I liked that a lot more than I thought I was going to in the beginning. At first it was a little too jarring. As I continued I began to care about the characters and what was taking place. I usually don't follow the "just give until page X or chapter X to get to like it" kind of person, so I was surprised. I try to give everything a sporting chance, but usually if I am a half or even a fourth of the way through and I am not feeling it, I tend to move on. (There are way too many books to wa...

Read as single issues. This series is a lot of fun. Dystopian superhero biker gang awesomeness. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did, especially the last two issues which were just freaking awesome.

This was a ton of fun. A group of mostly female superheroes from DC live in the outskirts of a dystopian city and form a biker gang. Lex Luthor controls the world and Batman is his lapdog.

If "Mad Max" and DC Comics had a dystopian baby it would sort of come close to Gotham City Garage. While I was hesitant at first because the premise is SO out there I really enjoy the content and, dare I say, the vibes. Honestly I loved all the little nods to other DC characters and concepts that weren't included in the arc and I just had a lot of fun, okay?

I honestly didn't have very high hopes for a book that came about after the popularity of a line of motorcycle pin-up figures, but there is much to like in this alternate universe version of the DC Universe. Don't let the fact that it's titled after Batman's city misguide you, there are a ton of different DC characters to enjoy here; all of them kickass and most of them female.The art does have a tendency to get overly pin-upy, but look past that and there is some pretty impressive line work and...

Gotham City Garage is an on-going series republishing a digital first series. A DC collectibles statue line, set in a post-apocalyptic world, inspires the series. Gotham City Garage: Volume 1 collects the first six issues (twelve Digital First chapters) of the 2017 series.In the not-so-far-flung future, Earth has become a post-apocalyptic, barren desert. There is a single city left standing, Gotham City, whom Lex Luthor renamed "The Garden" after taking over thirty-five years ago. Luthor has bui...

"What's Gotham City Garage?" I asked the comic book store owner."I assume... it's about the garage in Gotham City?"Not quite.It's a pretty rare joy when you get to dive into a crazy surprise of a story with little to know before-hand knowledge, and I tried to relish it here.After the success of the DC Bombshells series, which used collectible figures depicting DC heroins as calendar pin-up girls for a WWII-era saga of glam kick-ass goddesses, DC assigned this team a similar task--except this tim...

A post-apocalyptic wasteland with only one domed city under Lex Luther's rule. But no only does he have control of the city, he is controlling their minds. So the description of this book is very accurate. It is very mad max-esque with the twist of using DC heroes and villains. Batman seems to be the main authority as far as security, so he is essentially the "villain" of the story, besides Lex. In the book, Kara aka Supergirl, breaks free of the dome, has the sunlight hit her, and she discovers...
