Editorial Reviews

Review

"The strongest aspect of this issue is Conner's character work. Like the script, her characters are expressive in all the right ways, understated, and inherently emotional."—MTV Geek

"The secret to this book's surprisingly sweet appeal is Amanda Conner."—Newsarama

"[Conner's] work is so irresistibly beautiful and evocative."—Craveonline

5.0 out of 5 stars Great start to a great series
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2016

Very funny, actually got some physical laughs out of me instead of the general amusement comedy comics normally get from me. It has humor of multiple types that cater to a widespread range of comedy tastes.
If you like the wacky and the bizarre, the silly and the sexy, dark humor and light humor, I fully recommend the purchase of this book.
And if just the contents of the humor and story arent enough to convince you, maybe the art will. While it does have a main artist throughout the series, nearly every, if not every comic, has a guest artist in some sort of dream sequence or other such nonsensical event. It is an enviroment where the artists are all allowed to just go crazy with their art, drawing what they want how they want, with Harley quinn breaking the fourth wall about the art in an amusing way on multiple occasions. There is also a noticable lack of artist shortcuts, such as tracing, copy and pasted objects or limbs, and minimal repeated frames.
I give the art a 5/5
I give the comedy a 4.5/5
I give the story a 4/5

100% a definite buy for any collection, worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Harley Shot First
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2017

Harley is excited about getting her own comic book so she imagines what artists and writers would do her comic. The first story goes through several art and writing styles, including Bruce Timm's DCAU. Thank god there's no Frank Miller version.

Harley gets an apartment building and has zany adventures with her new friends. Harley seems to have her heart in the right place but she does go a bit too far sometimes.

There's several moments where I laughed out loud and the comedy is actually good....although a little adult for my liking but there's no toilet humor for the most part.

I'm trying to get into comics again and this is an interesting place to Starr reading comics

4.0 out of 5 stars Harley Quinn on her own
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2015

I really enjoy this trade. I've read several other of the New 52 Batman-related titles. None top Snyder's Batman, but there has been the gamut from good to bad. While Batman or any of the other heroes make an appearance, there are references to Joker and Poison Ivy stops by a couple times.

The trade starts in a unique way. Harley and the creative team discuss the artistic style they want to use in a forth wall breaking manner similar to Marvel's Deadpool. A variety of guest artist do their take on Quinn. I was really impressed by Hughes and Panosian's pages. Ultimately Hardin handles most of the art with assistance from Roux and covers by Conner.

I thought the art was consistent with the tone of the book. Quinn was sexy without being too much. The violence was never too graphic. The backgrounds and secondary characters were of good quality. The lettering had some variety from the standard methods used in other books. There were some bonus sketches at the end of the trade.

The writing was good. The dialogue was a bit stronger than the plot line. I won't spoil any of the storylines, but Quinn gets a fresh start in New York City. In a way it was similar to Fraction's Hawkeye.

I agree with many of the points outlined in other 4 star reviews. This trade was not perfect or the best of the New 52 offerings, but showed a fun premise and treated Quinn respectfully. I hope that the story continues to improve with the next trade as I plan on picking it up!

5.0 out of 5 stars A comedic spotline in a world of grim, serious storylines.
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2015
Verified Purchase
Clever, engaging, and (most importantly) Fun; those are the three things I look for in a comic and this has it all. If you're familiar with Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner then you already know what to expect and if you're a fan of Harley Quinn you will not be disappointed. In a world of comics turned as grim and gritty as Nolan's Batman Jimmy and Amanda ensure we don't forget the fun, vibrant place comics can be. If you're a fan of the more playful side of comic books you're in for a treat, if you're more supportive of the grimmer, more serious tone set by Scott Snyder this probably won't be your cup of tea.

I have recently stated getting into comics and I didn’t want to buy each issue separately since I’m not a collector(it also would have cost too much at my local comic shop)

The storyline is good and if you’re looking to get into the Harley Quinn comics this is a good place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, Fun Comic
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2016

I got the hardcover, and the quality is good. It's got a thick cover, and nice solid binding.

The series itself is very entertaining to me. I love Harley's hijinks! Her new 52 series puts her in different light and has a new spin on her backstory. It's doesn't usually get very deep or have an intricate storyline. And while more of that might be nice, I also didn't expect it to have those things.

Taken for what it is, I think most Harley Quinn lovers would enjoy this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars arlequina heroina
Reviewed in Brazil on January 12, 2018

aqui entramos no mundo da arlequina protagonizando suas proprias historias. o elemento loucura esta bem presente nao so na propria arlequina como tambem nas pessoas que a cercam. a historia nao traz nenhum heroi importante como antagonista, inclusive acredito que o batman nem seja mencionado, mas sim a arlequina fazendo parecer que o mundo ficou louco. os desenhos sao bons, com cores com tonalidades que nao fogem muito das do seu uniforme e cabelos, o roteiro e interessante tambem e acaba sendo uma boa leitura para quem gosta da personagem. mesmo para quem nao goste muito o livro nao deixa de ser divertido. vale a pena.

5.0 out of 5 stars "But first, you wanna meet my beaver?"
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 8, 2015
Verified Purchase
I've loved Harley since the first time she bounced onto the screen in the Batman animated series. She was a goofy, perky, dangerous little antidote to the unpleasantness of the Joker and some of the Bat's more monstrous foes... a little bit sweet, a little bit sad, and a lot loveable. Sure, you'd probably not want to be in a confined space with her, but she's a step up from being locked in a room with Killer Croc. Also, as the years passed she developed into a character much bigger than her remit as the Joker's put-upon moll. Now she has a new series, and being New 52 content, I was a little cynical. Thankfully, my fears were unfounded.

Harley Quinn is out on her own - the Joker has vanished and she's at a loose end. A surprise notification of an inheritence has her upping sticks from Gotham to Coney Island, NYC, where she finds herself the landlady of an apartment building with some colourful tenants, a burlesque jiggle-joint and a famous-murderers waxwork museum. Oh, and a whole heap of inherited debts. So Harley has to get (shock, horror) a real job! Don't think for a minute though that Harley's life will lose its chaotic, violent and downright murderous edge. Not a chance. Harley, her best gal-pal Poison Ivy, and new friends Big Tony, Sy Borgman and Bernie the Beaver (an actual stuffed beaver who only Harley hears talk), will find themselves facing an army of assassins, a gaggle of old-aged terrorists, a rival roller-derby team or two, a busload of lust-crazed convicts, and (perhaps worst of all for Bernie) a pack of starving doggies! Coney Island just got a lot more wild and blood-spattered as everyone's favorite crazy lady takes a nibble on the Big Apple.

Now I know New 52 Harley can polarise people a little. Sure, this Harley is a little less damaged and vulnerable, but this Harley is out on her own and forging her own destiny. She has little need for the Joker, and seems just dandy on her own (though for her sins, she's still kinda hung up on the pasty-faced rat). She also cares about people beyond Poison Ivy - she's motivated to care for her new friends, old people, cute widdle fuwwy animals, and most of all YOU the reader. Harley wants you to love her too, and if you think she rules, or she just makes you drool, it's all good with her. She wants to change things, be a hero (albeit a crazy dangerous one) and generally get her life back on some kind of normal(ish) track. She even goes back to being a psychiatrist... and part-time roller derby girl and mommy to an animal shelter's worth of "liberated" pets. In her own demented way she's motivated by a need to make things better for people. In case that worries you, she still hands out her own brand of violence to people that get in her way (and boy are some of these deaths memorable - one guy gets exhaled to death by her blowing into his life support machine). These new adventures are not lacking in lunacy and general Harley-like behaviour. In fact, even to a long-term fan like me they seem more in tune with the original Harley than some of her adventures in Suicide Squad. No bad thing. And the comedy here is gloriously self-referential (when Harley opts to get rid of the "poop problem" her collection of animals creates, she opts for using a giant catapult on the roof... and manages to score a direct hit on the DC Comics HQ).

The driving power behind this new set of adventures is the team-up of Amanda Conner and husband Jimmy Palmiotti on the writing side of the book. The art, by Chad Hardin, is jaunty and bouncy and just perfect for Harley Quinn, but the writing here is the real star of the show. It just crackles with wry humour and outright kookiness (and a lot of beaver jokes - thank you Bernie). Conner and Palmiotti *get* Harley and are intent on turning her into a postmodern bad girl with a heart of gold. Sure, she had one before, but away from a lot of the other Batverse characters she really gets a chance to shine and mature into a new kind of character in the current stable of deathly-serious, portentious characters in the DC universe. She's a ray of sunshine, one severely overdue at the moment. Granted, she might not go down so easy with diehard fans of Classic Harley, but in my opinion, this one book on the weight of the writing and the pure off-the-wall enjoyment it provides is a breath of fresh air in DC and perhaps the only thing worth reading in the New 52... trust me when I say you need a little Harley in your life, and this book will give you your prescription. And then some.
