I think all the antics, different art styles, different paces and tones, how experimental it was, is so quintessentially Harley Quinn. For the first time in print, 19 short tales of Gotham City’s craziest clown princess are presented in nothing but black, white, and bold splashes of red.

There was a time when Harley could just be an insane, wayward criminal with or without the Joker, and it would be left at that. I didn’t feel it made the best use of the required black, white, and red aesthetic by overwhelming the flashback pages in mostly red.See how Harley's story unfolds in worlds beyond the DC Universe, in the alternate timelines of Batman- White Knight, Harleen, and the Harley Quinn animated series! This just solidifies my notion that there is a ban behind-the-scenes at DC Comics of Harley ever actually interacting with the Joker.

Von spontanen Einfällen der selbsternannten Gotham Queen, wie die Teilnahme an einem Rapbattle, über heikle Missionen, wie die Rettung der geliebten Hyänen Lou und Bud, bis hin zu emotionalen Momenten, wie der bevorstehende Valentinstag, zu dem die begnadete Hammerschwingerin gern ihren Crush Batman eingeladen hätte. Batman has gone through many changes over the years, but the core of the character – that he’s a crime fighter driven by the death of his parents – has stayed the same throughout everything. He claims she was but a background character playing second fiddle to the Joker before entering comics, when in reality, Harley has been getting her own solo outings ever since Batman: the Animated Series. Noticeably, Harley’s storylines that have explored her independence in the past, like her first solo series, didn’t try to pass her off as a feminist character either.

It opened beautifully with HARLEYIVY content that tied into Harleen which is one of my faves, with such a beautiful monologue from harls on the colour red and how much she loves ivy. However, despite tanking sales and reader disinterest all around, DC refuses to change literally anything about how they use her. I know he’s a busy man, but I hope to god maybe one day, we’ll get to see his Isley project completed.
