I first encountered Harley Quinn in these pages. Harley has a sweet spirit, but don't mess with her friends. Harley's man gets beat up in prison so she arranges an escape, and meets up with the Joker on the way. To me, the power of the story didn't come through the plot, but through the characters. Harley loves alliteration, like Robin liked saying things were holy in the original Batman television series. She will say weird, quirky things like "pulverized piles of poop," in reference to bad gu

Stuff happens. Harley Quinn deals with someone she killed before but who has come back to life; her boyfriend is in jail being beaten up; she has some conflict with the mayor of New York; her boyfriend gets sent to Gotham and Harley goes to break him out; Quinn beats up the Joker (reason this is rated as high as 3.75); Quinn and others flash their naked bodies all of the place though 'things' keep getting in the way of the reader seeing much; Quinn kisses men and women; Quinn meets again: the Jo...

If I ever meet Chad Hardin again I’ve gotta ask him why he made Joker so buff, with a six-pack, and just gorgeous! It’s almost creepy to find Joker attractive. I mean I love his insane torturous self but to be attracted to him; I get now why Harley has such a hard time getting over him. Huh, as I type I wonder if that’s why Chad made Joker so sexy. He wanted people to feel the pain of Harley giving up someone so handsome. (Lol) This is a fun set of comics and part of the core years of what has b...

I'm a dabbler in comics. I'm not someone who knows all of the story lines and can give you the back story for each and every incarnation of a character, but I like and respect the genre of graphic novels and comic books. I also like pretty artwork, eye-popping colors and pictures of very well drawn men who in no way, shape or form resemble the male physique in real life. This book had a lot of tongue in cheek fan service for the male reader. I thought some of it was funny and rolled my eyes at t...

Harley goes home to that most hellish asylum where her life as Harleen ended and Harley was born. She goes in on a rescue mission but ends up in a hell in a cell grudge match, a long awaited grudge match that doesn't disappoint. Oh and some other things happen I guess. Harley screws with mayor of NYC, she tries to survive a hit from somebody who died, but got a robotic retry, she even finds a magical lamp. By volume 5 you should know if you like the tales being spun in this series. They are ligh...

I read this a long time ago. I find this series pretty high on the silly and ridiculous, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. They can be fun, but over the top too. I remember liking this one a lot out of the series. It has more intensity, and no big surprise, considering it spotlights Harley's toxic relationship with the Joker. I do remember loving that Harley comes out of this out of the Joker's thrall once and for all. While I know that Harley has been a villain and has done villainous thi...

Whoops. I meant to review this one before Vol 6. oh, well.Same, as all the others: I love this series so much. Really, I'd like to give it a multiplier, so it's not just 5 stars, but gets credit for being fun, and weird, and full of friendship and Coney Island hot dogs. Possibly I just love seeing chicks kicking ass. Well, obviously, I do. More diversity in comics creators, please: I want to see all kinds of different perspectives: more delights like Ms. Marvel, Harley Quinn, and Black Panther,

I received a preview eARC of this title from the publisher through NetGalley.Well, I have to say that Harley Quinn is still one of my favorite girls. But I'm not as enthusiastic after reading this entry in the series. I did enjoy her stories, but not as much as I had Volume 3: Kiss Kiss Bang Stab. Perhaps in part because I wasn't able to read Volume 4.But that said, Harley didn't seem as coherent and focused as a character in this one. There seemed to be a bit more randomness with her, which mi

Maybe the best volume of the series to date. Chad Hardin provides the art throughout the book with an Amanda Connor one-shot at the end, so consistently great art everywhere. This volume ties up the plot line with Mason in prison and Harley also gets closure from the Joker. The Joker scene was especially good.Received an advance copy from DC and Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.

I was introduced to Harley Quinn when my 14 year old grand daughter (dressed in pigtails and a "cheeky" heart) dragged me to the opening night of the Suicide Squad movie. I immediately fell in love with the quirky Harley character and not just because my grand daughter resembles the actress, Margot Robbie, who stole the show with her dramatization of the comic book character. Harley is one of those iconic personas who should be abhorred and yet can't help but be endearing. Childlike yet clever,

4.8•Love my HQ comics! I know Vol. 5 JUST came out today but any idea when Vol. 6 is coming? I may be only slightly impatient.. okay, more like a lot. •I am always a giant fan of all the artwork we get at the end of the volumes but I really enjoyed the added artwork drafts that were included in this volume.

I'm impressed at the number of scenarios these writers can come up with to keep things interesting. Although it seemed more obvious that Harley was wearing "plot armor" in this one and Tony is starting to have an unbelievable amounts of connections. But it's still enjoyable!

I adore Harley, and this one finally shows her relationship with Ivy without leaving any doubt, though there was none in my mind to begin with. I also love when her and the Joker interact, as their relationship has changed quite a bit since the animated series. I love how she stands up to him, and is able to admit that she will never truly be rid of her love for him, but she will fight it, since he is no good to her, or for her. I also love the Anna Karenna reference, and the hints of how smart

The problem with waiting let's say around two months to write a review is that the memory is a bit hazy. However, there are some things that I do remember from this volume and that's that I was disappointed that the Joker was hardly in it especially when you see the cover and read the description and the description pretty much tells you what will happen. They fight and break up. Ta da! I liked the last part of the volume best, with Harley finding a genie...hilarious. That doesn't mean that the

Harley Quinn is not Tank Girl......was meh.

This volume was basically the same silliness, other than the long awaited confrontation with the Joker. Harley finally confronts him in Arkham Asylum in a very violent confirmation that seems to put an end to their relationship once and for all, but who knows. Honestly the confrontation was a little hard to read because it seemed to mimic many real life abusive relationships and take things to a level this mostly humor comic hadn't reached yet. Or I could have just been reading too much into it....

It might not make the most sense to start with volume five of this run of Harley Quinn, but it's not to laden with continuity to make it a difficult starting point. The plot is relatively straightforward and easy enough to catch up on.Conner and Palmiotti have created a very distinctive voice for the book, which makes it effective – you would immediately know whose Harley you're reading. The book is by turns silly and earnest (sometimes both at once), and revolves around Harley's surprisingly go...

I received this from Edelweiss and DC Comics in exchange for an honest review. I don't understand it and can't explain it, since I'm nowhere near the target audience for this series, but I sure have a lot of fun reading about Harley Quinn and her antics. Very goofy, to be sure, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Review to come...

This fifth collection is really great. A former villain from this series comes back but not in the way you think. But the main story arc has her trying to save her current boyfriend from being killed in jail. The story was good and the end of the arc has a great punch to it and I think it really makes her a better character. I really enjoy this series and I hope it keeps going for a while.
