Review: Batman Prelude to the Wedding - Harley vs. Joker

By Damien Becton

With the wedding of Batman and Catwoman right around the corner, it was expected that we would be provided with a bunch of cash-grab comics that would take advantage of this monumental event. And, of course, the books have been met with a mixed reception from critics and fans alike. With all of these prelude books going around, the one that I was looking forward to most was Harley vs. Joker, and I think that it is safe to say that of all of the ones that have been released so far, this is probably the best.

Review: Harley Loves Joker #2

By Hunter T. Patrick

For a comic that is meant to be cartoony, this hits hard. Some themes lightly touched upon in the past installments are at full play here. This is a wonderful celebration of Harley in the time she was dating Joker. Her past, present (at the time) and future (current Harley) all appear and helps make this a must-read for Harley fans. This finishes off very strongly which is a delight after the last issue focus too much on The Grison, a weird Cheetah rip off. If she was not so physically resembling Cheetah and if her somewhat interesting origin did not weigh down the last issue, then maybe she could live on, but I struggle to see this character return, except in maybe a cameo or a one-off return then disappearance.

Review: Harley Loves Joker #1

By Hunter T. Patrick

After binge reading the Harley Loves Joker backup stories in Harley Quinn’s solo title did I feel sufficiently prepared for this. I figured those were optional, but they most definitely were not optional to understand as this issue takes very little time catching people up after roughly a year since these backups were released. No holding back (except for the quick recap as stated) makes this issue all the stronger for it. Things ended with a cliffhanger, and this feels identical to the backups, just in a full-length format now. Seeing this as a two-issue miniseries as marketed is wrong, this issue is a full epilogue/continuation to the story previously as it should be.

Review: Harley Quinn #42

By Cat Wyatt

Every now and then Harley Quinn will release a one shot issue that’s either silly or exploring a new storytelling type. This issue is one of those stories. As you can probably tell from the cover and name of the issue, this is a riff on both Old Man Logan and Mad Max. If you’re not into the random stories Harley Quinn sometimes tells, you could probably get away with skipping this one. Or you could read on and enjoy all of the blatant references and jokes that are made. Your call.

Review: Harley Quinn #41

By Cat Wyatt

Issue #41 of Harley brings a conclusion to the Angry Bird plot, though it leaves a couple of pieces up in the air for further investigation. This issue starts off a little weird with all of the locals wanting to tear apart the Gang of Harleys (including the Gang of Harleys). It should be worth noting that everyone has green swirly eyes right now…so clearly mind control (Mad Hatter, anyone?).

Review: Harley Quinn #40

By Cat Wyatt

Issue #39 of Harley Quinn left most of Coney Island in varying levels of chaos. The Penguin’s goons and other enlisted villains have been wreaking merry havoc on the place (especially Killer Croc), Eggy got himself egg-napped (sorry, couldn’t resist), Coach also got kidnapped (what is with this group getting kidnapped all the time), and Harley is taking on more fights than she can handle. In short, it’s a recipe for disaster.

Review: Harley Quinn #39

By Cat Wyatt

In the last issue of Harley Quinn we witnessed Penguin make his next move into Coney Island. Without Harley around to help defend it, things have not been going well for the friends she left behind. Issue #39 of Harley Quinn continues the story of Penguin’s escapades and maneuvers.

Review: Harley Quinn #38

By Cat Wyatt

The Penguin’s diabolical plan continues in Harley Quinn #38, with multiple other villains (of various levels of classification) joining in the fight. Coney Island has become a very chaotic place to live, to say the least. Having to see a certain elderly cyborg in a speedo was certainly not on my list of things I would like to witness, however, I can check it off anyway.
