![]() Notably, she appears alongside the heroes of the DC universe in January’s Superman No. In the 2018-2019 Heroes in Crisis miniseries, she even teams up with Batgirl to help solve the mystery behind the mass slaughter of a number of superheroes, with the two having a heartfelt discussion about the trauma motivating the character in the process. 25, Harley gets something approaching closure on her unhealthy relationship with the Joker, finally rejecting him and moving on. There is, however, one significant change that resulted from the new status quo: Harley went from villain - or, at best, nuisance - into something approaching sympathetic protagonist. Certain storylines and affiliations may have disappeared in the process - say goodbye to the Gotham City Sirens, who no longer teamed up in the revised timeline - but Harley herself emerged relatively unscathed. One of the more surprising things about Harley is that her history didn’t change considerably even when DC’s 2011 The New 52 relaunch rebooted the entire canon of its comic book universe. (Since 2013, she’s also had her very own family of misfits living in Coney Island, as a result of the successful Harley Quinn solo series.) In comics, Harley has been released from the Joker’s clutches for most of her existence, but has continually found herself building new families and teams to make up for that, whether it’s the Gotham City Sirens - an anti-hero team with Catwoman and Poison Ivy that existed from 2009 through 2011 - or the Suicide Squad, where she’s been active since 2011. Where things go after that is where stories start to change. As much as I want to keep reading this for Big Barda, since we never get to see her, I think I'll spend my time on other books.The comic book backstory of Harley is consistent with the big screen version: She’s a former psychiatrist whose attempts to treat the Joker led to her falling in love with him, and then being transformed from Harleen Quinzel to Harley Quinn via chemical means. Figured we'd be on Themyscira by the end of this issue. Overall not nearly as good as the first book and we are still doing set up. I was down on the art at first and then realized it was the coloring I really hated. ![]() I will say I enjoyed Harley in this more than most did and the Jaws reference was super funny. Zealot and Harley show up cause the item Zealot needed just happened to be in the same area? Seemed to me to be too much lazy writing in this issue. What was the point of the freaking armor? Using the canary cry or grabbing a mystical weapon since she was in a magic shop would have made a ton more sense. Then Canary fights some yellow looking Juggernauts and smashes their magical armor with punches and kicks. This made Dinah look incompetent as a leader and Zealot or Barda should have said something being the seasoned warriors they ar e. Then Harley has a plan to get to the island but Dinah doesn't even ask what it is? Trust is trust but you need to know, especially dealing with crazy ass Harley, what your going to be doing. Zealot thinking Dinah would kill was a bit off but I chalked it up to her knowing she would do almost anything to save her sister. ![]() The opening scene really got me in the feels and I literally laughed out loud at the end.then the problems started. I had hoped the second would be as good but there were too many problems IMO. I enjoyed the first issue and it surprised me that I did.
