Read MoreReview: 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.
Read MoreReview: 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.
Read MoreReview: 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.

Review: Harley Quinn #37
By Cat Wyatt
After the ending of the last issue, I was concerned about where Harley was going to go next, and what was going to end up happening. As it turns out, I had a right to be concerned. Running away from home and running late-night ads for your vigilante business (paid, of course) does not strike me as something an emotionally stable person would do. But then again, we’re talking about Harley here.

Review: Harley Quinn #36
By Cat Wyatt
You may remember from the last issue that our beloved Harley Quinn has been turned into a bat woman (is here a good point to make another vigilante joke?), if you don’t it’s likely that the cover would quickly spark your memory of this. This whole plot still feels a bit on the silly side, but I have to admit I absolutely adore this cover. The bat ears on Harley remind me of Anubis’ ears, which is actually pretty cool.

Review: Harley Quinn #35
By Cat Wyatt
When I first saw the cover for issue 35, I thought it would be one of two things; a short story where Batwoman cameos, or a quick, light-hearted one-shot. I was wrong on both counts. Let’s just say that while Harley is back at home safe and sound, she still isn’t acting like her normal, devil-may-care self, and it’s actually pretty heartbreaking to see (especially for her friends).

Review: Harley Quinn Be Careful What You Wish For #1
By Kelly Gaines
What would the DC universe’s most chaotic anti-hero/ anti-villain do with unlimited wishes from a magical genie? In the case of Harley Quinn, the answer is to screw it up- big time. Harley Quinn Be Careful What You Wish For Special feels like a classic “What If…” story while remaining comfortably nestled in the continuity of Harley’s rebirth universe.

Review: Harley Quinn #34
By Cat Wyatt
The last issue left us off with Harley and her gang (Tony, Ivy, and Queenie) heading off on a road trip. I would like to point out how – I called it. I said they were going to get themselves into some sort of trouble (well Harley getting everyone else into trouble at least), and I was right. Granted that’s not terribly surprising or out of the ordinary, but I’m going to take a win where I can.

Review: Harley Quinn #33
By Cat Wyatt
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of this issue (I swear I’m not avoiding thinking/talking about Mason’s death or anything), let’s talk about the cover for a minute. Considering the heavier tone that’s been occurring in Harley’s comics, this cover is a little bit jarring. Though also somewhat welcome – perhaps this is a way of showing that everything will be ok, in the end? I know it’s more likely that it’s just a Christmas-themed Harley cover, but hey, a girl can hope!

Review: Harley Quinn #32
By Cat Wyatt
This issue brings us to the conclusion of the Vote Harley plot, and obviously based on how things ended in issue 31, we know we’re in for a bit of a rough ride (emotionally speaking). It probably goes without saying that Harley doesn’t react well to Mason’s death, add on the fact that DePerto committed the act and tricked her into watching it on TV? Yeah, not so much.

Review: Harley Quinn #31
By Cat Wyatt
Harley Quinn #31 picks up where the last issue left us off, continuing the Vote Harley plot started in issue #28. Everything kicks off with a reminder that Mason has been kidnapped (again) and that Harley must quit her race for Mayor in order to ensure his safety. Now I’ll be the first to admit that Harley probably wouldn’t make the best mayor (bright side: the animal shelters funding would absolutely be increased), but she probably couldn’t do any worse than Mayor DePerpo.

Review: Harley Quinn and Batman #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Looking at that cover, I’m sure more than a few people in their 30s and early 40s were like, fuck yeah, Batman The Animated Series as a comic book, but not that shitty one they did for kids back in the 90s. That’s what my thought was, minus the shitty comic part because I actually liked them. Then I opened it and quickly realized that it was The Adventures of Batman & Robin… Not Batman The Animated Series.

Killer Crossover: Harley & Ivy Meet Betty & Veronica
By Dustin Cabeal
Listen... if Betty isn't dressed like Batgirl by the end then this isn't worth it. On a similar note, if Veronica isn't dressed like Huntress... not worth it. Archie can be dressed like Robin and only Robin because there is nothing remotely "Batman" about him. Other than that, I will read this because of Paul Dini all coasts need me.
