I'm thrilled that this series is getting released in collected formats. I love the tone of this series. It feels like the perfect fit for the character. I love that they aren't trying to force Harley's cartoonish personality into a more traditional story. It's a great fit for the character. Poison Ivy and Harley are one of my favorite duos in comics, so I really love their arc.
The continuing mishaps of Harley Quinn continue to amuse in this very varied volume, as Harley takes Metropolis by storm, gets stuck with Bizarro, ends up dead and trapped in Hell, and then becomes a ghost and haunts the Martian Manhunter. It's a madcap assortment, but it's never boring, and the plot always dances nicely between hilarity and reminding us that Harley is actually a villain at her core, even if she's a wacky one who doesn't mean too much harm. The artwork is also as varied as the s...
This is getting better, with Harley having a normal life in addition to her crazy life of crime. I am glad Ivy is back with her, as I love them together and they are a great team. Bizaro was an interesting addition, as was Superman. I am still annoyed at the random really cheesy simple art that takes over from time to time, and it follows the pattern of the final issue not really being part of the main story, but other than that it was pretty good. Harley has some pretty good moments, and the he...
I really liked this one! I think that this is my favorite installment in the series. It just made my love for Poison Ivy and Harley grow that much more. There were a couple of issues in here that I wasn’t a fan of, but the majority of it I loved. There’s also some great talk about sexuality in here, which I think a lot of people would enjoy and appreciate.
Maybe Mr. Kesel felt guilty for his previous volume because he definitely set out to make some improvements this time (some, but not all). Getting Harley out of the Gotham setting did wonders for her sense of self and confidence without losing the traditional character in the process. And while attempting to read Bizzaro's dialogue could give any reader a headache (who dreamed up THAT character?!), the concept worked well. I couldn't quite figure out the timeline or even setting (Jimmy was in sp...
3 1/2starsNow this is Harley Quinn! Issues 14-19, the Metropolis arc is everything you love about Harley. It's loopy, it's ridiculous, it's fun. Along for the ride is her perfect partner in mayhem Poison Ivy, with great appearances by Jimmy Olsen and Bizarro. The first half of the book is a breath of fresh air, however the second half is mostly tedious with no real purpose. My advice for fans of Quinn from her animated exploits would be to read the Metropolis arc and forgo the rest.
This one didn't have as good of a flow to it as the rest in the series, but I still LOVED it. Karl is a great writer, and the ending made it all wrap up nicely!
It's just too hot to be in Gotham right now. So Harley and Poison Ivy hightail it to Metropolis! If they're going to make it big in Superman's hometown, they've got to find a place to live, find jobs, and even make friends, like Jimmy Olsen and Bizarro!Then Harley Quinn finds herself in the hottest water imaginable when she awakes in Hell. It's okay. This isn't a spoiler since the back of the book talks about Harley's final destination. A very interesting collection of stories. Many years ago, I...
Too silly for my tastes. I like my comics a little more serious. This also seems like DC's response to Deadpool.
When you have 12 issues collected in one volume, you're going to have a fairly variable level of quality. This book definitely has some highs as well as lows. The opening section, with Harley and Ivy in Metropolis is a lot of fun, with lots of silliness surrounding Harley and Jimmy Olsen (although the Bizarro section gets cumbersome to read, as usual, though the character was still well portrayed). The next few issues, with Harley dealing with Etrigan and other demons was a lot less fun and funn...
Generally, I've enjoyed this particular series of Harley Quinn. She's funny, sexy, wicked, and a troublemaker without being too much of those in any direction. This is fun Harley, not cringey, slutty, PTSD Harley. If you like that version, go for it. But this is more my speed.That is, until about halfway through Vol. 3 when she dies and goes to hell. While I get where they were trying to go with this plot twist, I don't think they pulled it off. The whole side-quest to Hades was grim, disjointed...
Holy hell, so much happened in this volume. I really enjoyed the Metropolis storyline, especially the parts with Bizzaro. I'm not a huge Jimmy Olsen fan so I kind of liked how Harley shoved him out a window. Bizzaro Harley was pretty short lived yet funny. I find Thorn to be kind of meh personally.The Hell portion of the book was a ton of fun. I was sad Lewis didn't make it out. The design for Cerberus was interesting. I liked how Harley recruited dead metas to help her out. I thought the bounty...
Wow, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast.
Harley continues her adventure to mend broken hearts. First she assumed the identity of a Southern columnist to give people "advices", then she helped Bizarro with his love problems while detailing with some psychiatric problems of Thorn, then she went to hell and back with the help of Zatanna and Batman.It was a really fun volume, we got to see a lot of different characters making cameos on Harley's quest to understand love; It was quite funny too, which turned Harley into such an endearing ant...
This is classic Harley Quinn. Nods to her origins with glimpses of the character she has since become. Part bad girl's road trip, part Looney Tunes its crazy fun without going too off the rails and breaking the universe (literally). The only complaint is the inconsistent art style. I know Harley Quinn stories are known for that as it reflects her mental state but it is somewhat jarring and distracting. Otherwise this is a fantastic collection of stories.
this was a collection of 12 issues and while the beginning was really fun and strong especially the comics w ivy...., it eventually just dragged and got soooo boring towards the end with the later issues
A tale of two halves. This collection, which is quite large, has a really good first half which involves Harley and Ivy taking on Metropolis and a second half that featured the afterlife and Martian Manhunter for no reason. I really struggled to enjoy the second half. It seemed like it was written by a completely different author. The humor really ran out of steam. The art was decent to really good. Overall, the collection was too large an inconsistent but worth a read.
The front half of this 12 issue collection is a LOT stronger than the second half, which starts to meander into arcs not nearly as interesting or satisfying. Still, Harley Quinn is such a fun character, bringing joyful chaos with her no matter the situation she finds herself in. The cover would have you believe that Poison Ivy would be along for the ride (I was hoping for some kinda spin on Thelma and Louise or something like that) but Ivy really didn't get to have any story arcs, or step up and...
No matter how hard I try I simply can't find a fault with this book!!From start to finish I was entertained and in love!! I think it's safe to say I've found myself a new favourite fictional character (well one of them anyway because I have so many favourites but hey don't we all).I think what surprised me the most about this was how good the stories were!! They all linked together so so well and were all great in different ways!Harley Quinn... Where do I even begin to express my love for her?!?...
Snappy patter’s great when it doesn’t sound like it’s been dial-o-matic ‘d from the dialogue of every smartass in pop culture. “Shoulda taken a left turn at Albuquerque”“A regular welcome wagon”“And I know how to play hard to get”“That next step’s a doozy!”My second complaint (if that’s how this review’s gonna go, and it feels like that’s the only way to respond to this book halfway through) is about how inconsequential the story is, and how little it makes up for it in fun.
