This one is an odd rendering of Harley Quinn. When I think of Harley, she’s usually that hot, bat-sh*t crazy, lethal villainess, who sleeps around with the ultimate bad boy himself, the Joker. The New 52 version.This is not what the fan boys get here.You have a Harley who has Mr. J at arm’s length, who moonlights as a psychiatrist during the day, who has an old guy mentor named “Doc”, who wants to date a cop, who strays into Cat-Woman/Anti-Heroine territory, who has somewhat of a conscience. Yet...

When did Harley become Selina?I'm sad because this is the end of this run of Harley Quinn comics. This arc saw a change in creative team, direction, characterization and tone. There are things here that I really like, and there are things here that irked me somewhat, nonetheless, as I said, I'm sad that this is the end.World: I like Huddleston's art, it's stylish enough to fit Harley, but has that "Powers" hard boiled look to it that I really like. About 10 pages in I realized that this is prett...

Talk about an outlier in the Harley Quinn universe! Mr. Lieberman set her in a world of her own, apart from the quips and humor you usually expect. In their place, you get a grittier version where she stands firmly as a villain, wreaking havoc apart from any of the cast of characters throughout Gotham. Different? Certainly. Better? That's a little harder to judge. Harley's wit is one of her best features, and while an undercurrent of humor's present, it's dull and depressed, falling flat. How to...

The ending is a little wonky for me but I thoroughly enjoyed this!This is such an interesting take on Harley. It's easier to see her as a woman that used to be a psychologist instead of just the Joker's girlfriend or a sociopath. Honestly, she's not sociopathic in this book at all. She makes an awful decision at the end of this book but she struggles with it. I'm not trying to justify it at all but it's worth noting that she didn't make the choice easily. The relationship between her and the cop...

So do you know who Harley Quinn is? I think of her as madcap, psychotic in a fun way, strong-willed, flighty, always looking for a good time, and devoted to her friends. Yes she's a villain, but she has a code of her own. I describe her because, after reading this collection of 12+ issues all emblazoned with her name, I didn't see her once. I saw a character who occasionally wore similar clothes, but had few of her other characteristics. I saw a noir story that runs counter to all of what makes

This one had consistant art, Harley back as a psychiatrist, her bad vs good comeing out, and her demons come back to haunt her. Two minus points- No Ivy and the gymnastic scenes were not as good as previous. I did like the side story about Ivy's little concoction for Harley, but it was just a one shot. I do like Harley going back to Archam at the end to try and become "normal" again, all cause of the little girl.And of course she gets cured. Or not. Hahahahahaha

Greatly enjoyed this graphic novel! It's definitely one of my favourite Harley Quinn graphic novels (if not my favourite). I highly recommend this to any HQ fan, especially anyone who loves Classic Harley :D

This volume of Harley Quinn sees a new creative team of A.J. Lieberman, Mike Huddleston and Troy Nixey. With this new team Harley Quinn becomes dark--- very dark.First Harley creates for herself a new persona and begins seeing patients again. As she unlocks her patients inner-most secrets, Harley becomes the target of a killer with a penchant for puzzles.Then Harley takes on a gig that will net her a nice nest egg. Only, the target she's meant to obtain is a young orphan. As a devil Harley and a...

One of Harley's best qualities, her likable insanity, is completely missing here. Author A.J. Lieberman pens a Harley that's more conflicted vigilante than lovable loon. Its sorely missed. There are a couple storylines collected here and they all feel the same. The art is decent but the giant problem is that this just wasn't Harley to me. Disappointing.

I had a great time reading this, its dark with a good story. Harley is a tragic figure and I was sad at the ending but this title offers some classic original style Harley action. Some great scenes of her antics and getting back at the Joker.

This is the last of the pre-Arkham Asylum/Hot Topic'd up Harley Quinn series, the whole run of stories by A.J. Lieberman. They aren't very good. The earlier work in the series was quite fun and whacky, and even when weaker, had a nice sense of chaos to it as Harley tries to work out how to run her life by her own rules, rather than developing dependency on another. Rode the line between whimsy and the tragedy. This trade undercuts all that work.There's darker tone and more brutal storylines, wit...

Lots of fun plus one sad bit. I’m glad to read HQ as a deranged, sometimes bad person. She’s supposed to be bad sometimes, that’s what makes her character so much fun.

I gave up with the new 52 Harley i just found it to be utter garbage and the rebirth Harley was even worse, so thought i'd pick up some of the older volumes. This was a really good read, it made a change to read a volume with an actual plot, several of them in fact. I like the character of Harley in this, she's funny as well as being dangerous, you don't want to mess with her.I'd say pick this one up if you're bored of the new Harley, or you prefer Harley from the animated series instead. This i...

I grabbed this book at the library because I wanted a comic book...and thought "Oh, Harley Quinn...I know nothing really about her"....Ugh. This story was confusing. Maybe I'm dense....or lacking in the DC comic obsession and memorization of facts, but I feel like comic books should be approachable...and I was often lost about who was who and why and what....and AHHH!? The "blue eyes" story I understood...but the *subtle* flirting between the police detective and the psychiatrist....and the fact...

I love classic Harley! This is a story that does get confusing at times, but I love the idea of Harley dating a cop and the Joker getting jealous. The art is well done apart from one issue and I loved the story at the end.-235 pages read =235 house points #HHCup #SHHCup

Harley juggles her criminal activity with being a full-time psychiatrist, dealing with a string of clients while being accused of the murder of a police officer. That's how it starts anyway, and after the disappointing randomness of the last one, this was just a nice, lazy read full of explosions, costume changes and... retinal codes.

Firstly I was under the impression that there was another trade after this, but I was wrong. Well done DC for not dragging out the series into two trades, putting all of AJ Lieberman's run into one.This is easily the weakest of the series. The opening storyline is a good murder mystery, introducing some new side characters for Harley and an ending that I didn't see coming.Then come two done-in-one stories which are mostly forgettable. In fact, the writer seems to forget about them too, despite s...

I see some criticism of this one because it's a departure from the HQ people "know and love." As someone who rarely cracks a DC comic, I had nothing to compare to, and I liked it, especially the darker turn at the end. Shrug?

It was just.....not great. It seemed like a step back, a disjointed, stumbling step back in terms of narrative and character. The point about Harley is that she's chaotic, but has her own kinda twisted sense of logic and morality. This Harley had none of that. Maybe they got too caught up in Dr Seabourne? She breaks all the taboo's, she goes looking for trouble, and she somehow takes on major bad guys and corporations and comes out the other side. There's an essence of Don Quixote about her. Thi...

I’m reviewing this as the final volume and the overall series. Possibly unfair? Don’t care. The series takes a tone shift in this compilation. The camp factor is mostly gone. The animation is changed again. The ending? The final issues of the book made me at our protagonist. It is a reminder that she isn’t a “good guy” In the beginning, I loved the series. It was fun. This final volume wasn’t fun. It was still good, but it wasn’t what the series was in the beginning. It had a good run, and I sti...
