What's it about?
It's a weekly comic series from DC. The
basic premise is that this is an earth where only women are heroes. It's based on the Ame-Comi line of statues, which are basically manga/anime inspired sexy versions of DC's heroines. You can
see some of them on Amazon here. Some are horrific,
like this Wonder Woman one (why is she not wearing anything??), others are
pretty good. There was not really a story behind the action figures, so one has been created.

From Ame-Comi Girls 6, I think |
The
series started with 3 issue spotlights on 5 characters - Wonder
Woman, Batgirl, Duela Dent, Power Girl, and Supergirl.
Wonder Woman looks at how Diana comes to America and forms a pact with the American government.
Batgirl and
Duela Dent
go hand in hand, introducing each character and setting up for the full series. Duela's origin is really creepy. These issues also introduce us to other key players such as Catwoman,
Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Steel, and Brainiac.
Power Girl has Kara saving the day in metropolis then fighting
Lex Luthor. At the end, another visitor from Krypton arrives, and we
segue into
Supergirl. Supergirl crashes to earth with Brainiac's army close behind. Both Karas try to stop them, but Brainiac has other plans.

From the Duela Dent issues |
Then
the Ame-Comi series starts proper. Issues 1 to 6 have all the heroes,
led by Wonder Woman (because she says that's what's going to happen), band together to fight Brainiac and save the earth. Brainiac is an amazingly advanced robot from the far off reaches of space who consumes the knowledge of all the worlds she visits, then destroys them. Issues 7 and 8
introduce Jade as this sector's Green Lantern.
