For a book that tries to play up the sexual innuendo laughs to the extreme, this one lacks for a happy ending.
It’s also missing a happy beginning and middle.
If you’re going to focus on the sex angle, go all the way, no teasing with lame double entendres and nobody likes recycled Mad magazine jokes. This is the worst kind of attempt at humor: its line after line of set-ups without an adequate punch line.
Filler. If only....
Also: It’s Power Girl! A really crappy writer could have filled half the book up with the obvious boob jokes. Not that I’m advocating that, mind you, but this is DC, they’re desperate and with Power Girl, it’s usually a given. You’d assume they’d stoop to that level.
Plot Summary (Hi Anne!): Harley and Power Girl end up in an alternate universe. They need a teleportation ring to get back to their own reality and have to get the ring from him:
Zardoz, anyone? The dude has a planet that’s dedicated to lust and sexual conquest, hence, the lame running gags about sex and the infantile fixation on Power Girl as the object of Zardoz’s ardor.
Also: Something about Power Girl having amnesia which is conveniently put on the back burner and forgotten until it can conveniently be brought up again 120 pages later.
Harley has all the “crazy” lines, a handful of which are amusing (i.e. you’ll have an occasional smile pasted on your face, that’s similar to the one you’ll wear at a music recital, where your nephew is butchering “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” on trumpet and manages to play two consecutive notes in tune and at the correct tempo). Power Girl plays the frustrated, moody pal.
Bottom line: Sadly, Power Girl titles don’t fall into my lap that often, so I curse the library/comic gods for this one. *shakes fist*
A turgid mess.
Kiddos, here’s your Sean Connery tie-in line. Regrettably, it’s the wrong movie:

Vartox is back baby. He's a character from the Power Girl series, pre-new 52, who's based on a terrible Sean Connery movie from the 70's, Zardoz. The story spins out of Harley Quinn #12 where Power Girl has amnesia and Harley convinces her they are partners in fighting crime. The series is funny and action-packed with great art from Stephane Roux.

3.5 stars
[an explosion rockets Harley Quinn across a moon to her possible death] "Oh no. I'm gonna go BOOM! Or SPLAT! . . . Maybe BOOM-SPLAT! And I'll never be able ta find out which one!" -- Harley Quinn
This unexpected team-up - the narration box calls them the 'Crazy Crusaders' - of two total opposites was just ridiculously silly but entertaining. But then it was no surprise once I checked the credits -- two of the writers are Palmiotti & Gray, and I had just coincidentally finished their slightly in the same league Wolverine & Black Cat: Claws earlier in the same day. I can't make this stuff up!
Alluding to several 70's sci-fi movies (Zardoz, Logan's Run, The Black Hole, and of course Star Wars), the dysfunctional duo quips and fights their way through a nonsensical plot that even takes a time-out for a trippy Hunter S. Thompson Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas hallucination sequence. But what was most memorable was the consistently absurd but humorous dialogue amidst the craziness:
"Holy Holy Hotties! Who are these attack nuns?!" -- Harley Quinn
"These are the sanctified shotgun sisters of the NRA. They are your doom!" -- Oreth the villain
"'Nuns Rampaging Around.' Easier to say. They're a less impressive sub-cult of the old-fashioned mercenary group Nuns With Attitude." -- Vartox, the oversexed warlord
So, yes - maybe it's not intelligent and respectable literature for the ages, but sometimes 100+ pages of levity is a good and needed thing. It was funny with some genuine laugh out loud moments.

This was a fun romp! I'm not a regular reader of either character–Does ... better yet: Has Power Girl ever had her own series?--but I certainly know who they both are. There's some enjoyable chemistry between them, and that's pretty much all I ask for in a miniseries of this nature.
So PG and Harley have been teleported across the Universe, and are trying to get home. The key to their return would appear to be Vartox, a classic Superman character whose roots in the legendary Sean Connery film, Zardoz, are definitely played to the hilt. At first, I wasn't impressed by the humor, but the steadily escalating barrage won me over. I just needed to fine tune my reactions, apparently. Once dialed in to the proper wavelength, I was hooked.
Not much to say about this, really. It's entertaining fluff, but not essential reading. You've no doubt already formed your opinion as to whether this is for you or not. I'll just clear out and leave you to it.

Harley Quinn and Power Girl is a six-issue limited series that has Harley Quinn and Power Girl teaming up to battle various evils. It was written by Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Justin Gray with art mainly by Stéphane Roux. Harley Quinn and Power Girl collects all six issues of the 2015–2016 limited series.
Harley Quinn and Power Girl is a six-issue limited series, which is an insane, galactic adventure that is packed to the brim with creative concepts. Harley and Power Girl visit weird worlds, fight villains with solidified light, save a society from oppression, trip on alien drugs, and fight with/against a ruler who is obsessed with Power Girl. The entire adventure is crazy, in a semi-good manner.
Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Justin Gray have penned the entire trade paperback. For the most part it was written moderately well. Together, they have created an incredibly creative adventure starring several enjoyable characters. This comic uses out-of-this-world settings to charge comedy that never stops. However, the book's humor is a bit too over-the-top in some places and the storytelling has some problems.
Stéphane Roux penciled the entire trade paperback with additional help from Elliot Fernandez (Harley Quinn and Power Girl #2–4 and 6), Moritat (Harley Quinn and Power Girl #3 and 6), and Flavano (Harley Quinn and Power Girl #5–6). For the most part the pencilers complement each other rather well, which surprisingly didn’t affect the artistic flow as much as I expected it to. Roux’s visuals are detailed, well-structured, and generally polished. Plus, additional work from artists likes Fernandez, Moritat, and Flavano help emphasize special changes in the story.
All in all, Harley Quinn and Power Girl is a moderately written and constructed series that doesn’t take itself too seriously and rather fun to read.

Well, this is sillier than a soup sandwich but it acknowledges that and makes fun of itself and doesn't try to be anything more, so therefore it succeeds quite well in being what it is. How's that for nonsensical commentary? The theme is sexual innuendo on a seventh grade level, but it's all pretty amusing and entertaining and all in good fun. There are some genuinely funny bits of banter ("feels a bit like filler"!), and although it lacks much in the way of plot, it's good for some chuckles. The art is quite bright and slick and enjoyable, although Harley's face looks just Mercury from early 1960's Metal Men in a few panels. It was a good book to read during commercials while the hockey game was on.

Funnier than I expected (my expectations on Harley Quinn were deflated after a disappointing foray in the New52-era HQ). This pairing works like any classic - peanut butter and chocolate, John Woo and bullet casings, Chris Evans and body fat calipers.
Harley is more goofy than sociopathic, PG is stubborn and naive, and the setting/weirdo kidnapee is just salaciously bizarre.
You might think these scenes are out of context, but really this is just about the way this shit hits you, and it's great:

Some interesting art but overall pretty damned silly.

This was not bad but not that good either. Conner can do so much better with her jokes than the heavy handed ones here, and can do much better with her innuendos as well. It's just a silly little romp, but at least Harley looks like Harley here... Just a warning to those who have not read all of her new 52 run, book 4 and 5 Harley looks so different and it bugged me soooo much. Her face was just weird to me...
Also, I am kinda interested to look up Power Girl's series now, because I liked her in this one.

The fourth wall is swiss cheese.
This was a side story that happened to the not-so-dynamic duo after some villains teleported them away. Its a long, frustrating (for Powergirl) odyssey of sex jokes and odd behavior thats good for some laughs but doesn't really build on the characters.
At least Powergirl gets slut shamed for her costume...and beats the snot out of the people who do it.

So it is spring break time and I am spending some time with the fam. So while getting some R&R there is nothing better than catching up on some reading and especially reading some recent graphic novel releases. DC comics latest releases find us in the back issues of the DC You retooling of the DC Universe. The DC You initiative was to allow writers to write what they want without having to deal with the choke hold of continuity. So I picked up the Harley Quinn and Power Girl book not knowing what to expect. I do not want DC Comics fans to take this the wrong way but I am not a fan of turning DC characters into strictly comic fodder. I am not saying I did not find bits of the story here funny it is just I wish there had been more of a serious story here to balance out the ridiculous things that happen in this series. Basically Harley Quinn and Power Girl picks up with a past story involving the two characters that I must admit I did not read where Kara Zor-El aka Power Girl does not fully remember who she is and Harley the female Joker has been pretending to be her superhero sidekick. The two have been transported to another dimension where a hippie style super powered ruler Vartox has been kidnapped for his free love like life style and also supposedly had a racy affair with Power Girl or another Power Girl. At this point your probably saying, Wuh? This book is meant to be an action comedy so the plot doesn't really matter what is most important is how the polar opposite characters of Quinn and Power Girl interact. Writer Amanda Connor does a good job with Harley's one liners and rye since of humor. There were times I did truly giggle and could also here that funny voice we know from Batman the animated series. The artwork is very cartoony which truly fits with the tone of the book. I do have to warn you that there is a lot of innuendo and adult humor so it is not for the young kiddies. There are times I felt this was overdone just for shock value. This book does have a indie comic like sensibility. Those looking for a superhero comic that is not quite a superhero comics will probably love this more. Harley Quinn is a likeable character and the sales at DC Comics show it. I do not think this is the best we have seen with the character of Harley. Power Girl was handle okay but I could not help but feel that she could have been any of the know super female characters at DC like, Supergirl, Batgirl, or even Wonder girl. This was not my cup of tea but it was not the worst comic series I have read.

In order to comprehend (ish) what this graphic novel is about, you must first read the first two volumes of the New 52's Harley Quinn run.
This mini-series literally picks up in the middle of one of the panels with Harley Quinn and Power Girl being sucked into a different dimension. There they get involved in some sexed-up aliens drama. He apparently idolizes Power Girl and tries to marry *this* version of her.
Overall, this mini-series is completely useless. It was dumb. Everything lovely about Power Girl and Harley Quinn was reduced into a big joke. They break the fourth wall a lot and even attempt a few butt jokes. I didn't understand it and thought this was a waste of paper. Save the environment and don't print crap like this. Harley Quinn was a mockery of what she could have been. Power Girl as well had no dimension to her. It was a waste of time.

You see the cover? This is one comic book you can judge by its cover. It is silly, it is pulpy, it is a good time without all the doom and gloom of the DC movie universe. Harley Quinn and Powergirl have teamed up, mostly because Powergirl has suffered memory loss and Harley has convinced her that they are a crime fighting duo. What follows in this book is the duo being tricked with a portal that transports them to the other side of the galaxy where they must save a dude who looks like Sean Connery from Zardoz (strangely enough there is at least one other Zardoz like thing in this story). As I already said it is silly and a lot of fun if silly is something you enjoy.

What a squandered set up - Amanda Conner, Power Girl and Harley should go together like peanut butter and bacon, but this volume just...fizzled. Amanda Conner's Power Girl is usually so fun, but here she's just really stilted. Is this a New 52 reboot thing? Were they trying to make her more of a foil for Harley? Whatever the reason, it makes her a total wet blanket. Also, for a volume where the male lead spends most of the time in a Slave Leia costume, there is a huge amount of male-gaze fanservice of the female characters. Disappointing!

Not the best one I've read... quite a boring plot full of idiotic moments, none of the funny bizarre that I like in this one.

I was having a good time. Then Hunter S. Thompson showed up. Then I was having a GREAT time.

I Don't Know if That's a Good Thing -- February Wrap Up || 10 books!
Well… this was a time? This was like reading a superhero Zack & Miri Make a Porno space opera short story.
I really like the team-up of Harley and Power Girl, but Power Girl as a character felt so stilted and Harley seemed too try hard? As though the authors were trying to make them perfect foils to each other, but it was just too much, especially along with the absolutely ridiculous plot of them being sent to another universe, only to land on what is essentially a lust planet that’s been taken over by a purity police version of Thanos.
With that setup, there are TONS of sex jokes set up, but all of them are pretty juvenile. Then there’s tons of fan service with both Harley and Power Girl, even though they literally fight a guy done up like slave Princess Leia. I mean, come on! Ya’ll couldn’t have played that up even more?
The ending of the fight was unexpected, but then things take this odd turn, a strange detour, before returning to the main focus of trying to get home. The final issue was just too much and felt like they were really dragging out the story.
In the end, it was fine, but totally missed the opportunity for a lot more fun.

This is silly Harley Quinn. In this one, she teams up with Power Girl. They have an unlikely alliance. Power Girl is all serious business and Harley is all about fun. However, they do work well together. Their adventures span the galaxy and include no less than androids, a planet where its ruler is worshipped as a sex god, and even weirder things along the way.
I prefer the less silly Harley, but this was amusing. And any Harley is worth reading.
Overall rating: 3.5/5.0 stars.

As always, funny and non-sensical. I enjoyed it very much, but it is by no means perfect.

A fun book that fails to be particularily funny. An unlikely duo go through a sexy space-adventure. Just a fun time, but the jokes don’t really land.

Fun fun fun!
I like this series, it's stupid, it's tongue and cheek and it's ridiculous, if you understand the point of this than you will enjoy it, if not, you will find little pleasure here.
World: The art is fun, it's colorful, it's ridiculous and over the top. The main takeaway is the facial expressions, Harley is just cute cute cute. The world building here is also a hoot, it's stupid and ridiculous and absolutely nuts, but that's the point. It is a fun canvas for the story, which is also stupid and ridiculous to play out on.
Story: There is a lot to be offended here, but the main takeaway is the reason for the tone. This is a parody of a 70s campy SF x sex comedy a la something like "Flesh Gordon". It's sexist for the sake of it, it's offensive for the sake of it, it's stupid for the sake of it. If you get it and find it funny than this will be your thing, if you don't then this book will annoy you. I found it somewhere in the middle, it had it's moments the gags were hit and miss, but Harley was great, she's a delight and I absolutely love what DC is doing with this character (more below). It's a stupid romp that is forgettable but it's fun while you read it and that's all I expected and that's what I got.
Characters: Harley is an evolving character and slowly and surely being shaped and molded for the modern audience. What started as a henchgirl and then a sad love interest to a fully formed chaotic happy go lucky gal is quite interesting. There was a line last arc which stuck with me, was that the Harley Quinn clown girl image was a mask she put on to please the Joker and that it was not the real Harley, that the real Harley was ever changing and she could be whatever SHE wanted to be. I loved that, it made her character walk out of the shadow of the Joker and also from the expectations of the reader. She's complex, she nuts, shes fun and she can be whatever she wants to be. In this arc we get to see her be a superhero and it's a delight. I love her childlike look at all things and her sense of fun, it's missing in comic books and she's a breath of fresh air. I still love the clown girl facade but allowing her to be whatever she wants to be makes me so happy. This character is evolving with the times, from her henchgirl origins, to tortured love interest, to anti-hero in her first series and now to just a crazy girl out to have fun, it's great. I love her. Powergirl is also fun, cliched on purpose but she served as a great sounding board for Harley to play against, a perfect straight woman. The rest of the cast were there for jokes sake and I still enjoyed them, the Darkseid rip off to the Burt Reynolds lookalike, it was a fun read.
It was a fun read, that's what I expected from Harley. It's also offensive to some which is also what I expected from Harley. I like it, it made me laugh and it made me forget the heavy stuff I'm reading at the same time.
Onward to the next book!
I like this series, it's stupid, it's tongue and cheek and it's ridiculous, if you understand the point of this than you will enjoy it, if not, you will find little pleasure here.

"Point you in direction of a party I can.
How'd ja like a boot party on your dinky doinky?"
Power Girl and Harley Quinn get zapped into another galaxy by a teleportation ring and have to fight their way out.
You would think pairing these two would be nonstop ass kicking and laughter....
Well be prepared to be disappointed.
For being a story that was put together by an in between panel, it was alright. Could have been a lot worse, but also could of been a lot better.
Just thought with two kick ass ladies that this would blow all of us into oblivion.

Izuzetno duhovit susret Harley Quinn i Power Girl sa zapletom koji ih vodi u razne vidove pre svega svemirskih avantura. Raspojasan zaplet, uspeo humor, maštovit crtež, verujem da bi Luc Besson u ovome uživao.

Harley’s unpredictable antics crash headfirst into Power Girl’s no-nonsense attitude and the result? A buddy comedy that’s gloriously unhinged.
In the end, the Power Girl knows it all!!
Really Chaotic!

This book was a shear delight that puts the comic back in comic books. Amanda Conner's fantastic artwork just adds to the perfection and joy of this story.

A miniseries inserted between panels of a regular series...ok. Accept the silly and everything is fun.

I had high hopes because I thought this would be cheesy funny but instead it just came off vulgar and tasteless.
