Terrific prologue to Harley’s new series kicking off next month. After binging on junk food, Harley goes into a sugar-induced dream where she, alongside the disembodied voices of Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti, audition artists to draw her strip. 17 amazing artists drew pages in this comic! One of the most fun DC comics I’ve read in a long while, here’s hoping the series itself turns out to be this much fun! Read the full review here!
It´s not the most amazing Harley Quinn's story ever, but it is pretty funny and the art is awesome, with contributions of some of the best artists at the time.It was also the beggining of the fourth wall breaker Harley in a more deliverated way, and the first appeareance of some concepts that later in the Conner run will be recurring, as the beaver or the Poison Ivy ship in this queer biting oriented way. I liked it very much, but I found it overwhelmed by in-jokes and metafictional references.
I was stuck in a reading funk and decided to give a comic a shot. Little did I know I would become a huge fan of Harley Quinn that I have been devouring all her comics. I love the art and the stories paint her in a light I never expected. I have enjoyed every installment so far and looking forward to reading them all. Highly recommend she's quickly become my favorite DC character.
Got the directors cut but this isn’t my type of humour so it was already hard for me to even get through regular pages so I skipped the commentary and I just want to be done with it. Might come back to then at some point. The 3stars is almost exclusively for the are and effort of getting the artist all on board the writing frustrated me to the point I kept putting it down and walking away.
4/5 starsThis is the beginning of the New 52 series based around Harley Quinn, my all time favourite female in the DC universe (despite only having read 1 or 2 other graphic novels where Harley is present, I love her anyway). In this issue, after falling asleep due to consuming too much sugar, Harley- with the help of Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti- begins her search to find artists to draw for her new comic book series. Seventeen different artists audition, all bringing something different t...

Gathered together from the cosmic reaches of the comic book industry -- here in this great comic book issue -- are the most powerful artists of good ever assembled......well, maybe it’s not the most powerful ever assembled (is it wise still use that word nowdays in a DC title and/or product?), but definitely it’s an amazing (no, wait, that adjective can’t be used in this publishing house)... it’s an uncanny (dang! That was worse! Let’s see...) it’s fantas... (four times dang! Are any adjectives
So for my latest review I've moved away from novels and short stories and decided to celebrate and showcase my total obsession for all things Harley Quinn.I was ecstatic when I found out Harley Quinn was getting her very own comic book series, I love her in everything I've read that she's appeared in, loved the cartoons from when I was a kid and of course there are the computer games such as Batman: Arkham Origins in which she features once more as Mr J's personal doting ball of crazy.Firstly I
I've been planning to start reading Harley Quinn (The New 52) since forever! One of my all time favorite female villains in DC comics!It was a veeery fast read, however, there was NOTHING new added since it's the just volume #0, except enjoying seeing her drawn by seventeen different talented comics artists, where each has its own short story and own version of Ms. Quinn. I gotta say that it was funny at some points and cheesy in others lol But oh well, she's Harley and I freaking love her! Exci...
I'm not sure how I felt when I read it. It was, essentially, just a bunch of inside jokes about DC artists. That aside, the artwork is astounding and the story is somewhat interesting (if a bit cheesy.)If I was basing my interest on this series purely on this issue I'd give it a pass. But I'm not so I'll hold out hope for #1.
When this was coming out, I was super excited. So much so that I got the art print of the cover signed by Amanda Conner and it is still hanging on my office wall. But after at least a year since reading it, I can tell you that I remember NOTHING about it specifically except that I thought Batman's Death of the Family issue #1 did so much more to stir up my emotions about Harley Quinn than this did. Now all I can say about this particular issue was that I did not hate it. A year later, I wish I h...
It's fun to see how different artists would handle Harley, but the whole concept of breaking the 4th wall is a bit too... strange. For lack of a better word, it's unrealistic, an immersion-breaker, and it would've been fun to see entire stories play out instead of single pages in different styles; as it is, it's casual, but also a bit shallow. Let's see how the rest of the series develops.
I'll give it this: it was a unique opener!
You can read the full review over at my blog:http://sonsofcorax.wordpress.com/2013...There isn’t any comics issue or character in recent months, or even in the last couple years as far as I know, who has drawn as much attention and controversy as Harley Quinn, who got a new ongoing series today from veteran industry professionals Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner. The controversy had largely to do with an apparently insensitive artist submission that was put together for this title in September,...
There really wasn't much to the story. Harley during a dream wondered if she had a comic book who should be the artist. Which proceeded with 17 different artists showing her how she would look. This was basically a filler issue.
A very fun issue. Really looking forward to issue 1 now.
Cheesy, but in a delightful way. I genuinely enjoyed seeing Ms. Quinn drawn by multiple talented artsits.
The idea was to have one artist for each page, interpreting Harley as they pleased. This Director's Cut also includes behind the scenes info about the panels. The tidbits could be a little bit of a slog to get through in a book where it feels like you're supposed to go from the panels of one page to the panels of the next right away. It was weird, but fun seeing all these different artistic interpretations.
Real rating: 3.5 (but I rounded it up)If you don't know me, you don't know how much I LOVE Harley Quinn. She's literally my favourite character from DC, only tied up with the Joker because... well... he's the Joker.So when I heard a long time ago that they were going to make a new comic series with her, I was mega excited. But then the suicide controversy happened (you can google it if you don't know what I'm talking about) and I must admit, that made me avoid her comics for a while.But I still
I have to start off by saying that I LOVED all the different type of art styles in this comic. It was so enjoyable to turn the page and see a different style.I didn't find this to be a story, I'm assuming it wasn't meant to be, but rather just a long funny comic. Even though I don't admire her love for the Joker, I can't understand why some people do, I still love her. She is funny in so many different ways! She might be a murderous bitch sometimes but I think she has some good in her. I mean I'...
