Harley is one of my favorite femme fatales. This comic is so nostalgic for me because this is what got me so into comics. She’s just such a relatable character. This storyline brings me comfort. The art is compact and detailed. I may be biased because this comic definitely brings me a sense of nostalgia. Definitely worth the read!

This was my first dive into the world of DC. (comic wise) I figured I'd start off with one of the compact comics as I knew this would hold several issues and for someone who's just starting off it sounded smart.
I really enjoyed the art styles seen within these stories. Love some good art. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that it's in full colour the entire way through. The story isn't consistent throughout but there are several. I personally would have liked to see more character development and consistency. For example some of these Harley is dating ivy but in others she's simping for the Joker. I'd have loved to see one or the other but that may have purposely been done due to the nature of Harley and the Jokers relationship.

My first experience with Amanda Conner's take on the character and I had a real blast. Wild crazy fun with a zanny, and endearing cast of characters who are prone to acts of wanton violence. I appreciate that humour is subjectice but I was routinely enjoying the jokes, even if many of them are of the rude and crude variety.
The art style is fun and just cartoonish enough for the various gags to land, while still having the gore be violent and gross.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who was a fan of the Harley Quinn show.

I’m torn between a 4 and 5 star rating. The reason why is this: when I bought this, I did not realize this was simply a repackaging of the first two volumes from Harley Quinn’s New 52 series. Reading the original run, I rated both of those books a 5, but the shift in title here made the experience feel like a bit of a bait and switch that cheapened some of the experience I originally had with these stories.

Mixed bag, as far as quality but fun overall. Especially enjoyed the Sy Borgman Arc.
