799 books309 followersAmanda Conner started out in comics working small projects for Marvel and Archie while working as an illustrator for New York ad agencies Kornhauser and Calene and Kidvertisers. working a number of launches and campaigns such as Arm & Hammer, PlaySchool and Nickelodeon.
However, loving comic books and cartooning the most, Amanda found herself working for Marvel on their Barbie line (much of Amanda’s covers inspired designs for the line of Barbie toys), Disney line which included the Gargoyles books. At the same time she was illustrating “Soul Searchers & Co.” for Claypool Comics and worked on other Marvel projects, such as Excalibur for the X-Men line and “Suburban Jersey Ninja She-Devils”.
During an assignment for Crusade (‘Tomoe’) she and Jimmy Palmiotti became a real team as penciller/inker.
Amanda then moved on to do what is probably one of her best known works. She did several years as penciller on the hit series “Vampirella” for Harris Comics and drafted 24 issues. While illustrating “Vampirella”, Amanda worked with the top writers in the field, Grant Morrison, Mark Millar and Warren Ellis.

Comics Vertigo line, “X-Men Unlimited” for Marvel, co-created “Gatecrasher” for Blackbull Comics, and “The Pro”, an Eisner nominated creator owned book for Image Comics with Jimmy Palmiotti and Garth Ennis. Recently she worked on the highly publicized Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre series with Eisner winning creator Darwyn Cooke.
Amanda’s work can also be seen outside the comic book community in such places as ABC’S Nightline, the New York Times, Mad Magazine, the new sci-fi Stan lee “So You Want to be a Superhero” series and the upcoming Disney Underdog movie character designs for film and television, character designs for the Los Angeles Avengers stadium football team and is featured in a Biography magazine commercial on A&E.

I love Harley Quinn but not so much this storyline
September 23, 2017
Harley Quinn is BACK! And, this time she has to deal with a megalomaniac alien that set free after opening a door underground (see the previous volume), cannibals, a bat-fan from the future, and old foe, and her parents! Well, the parents not so much, she was busy trying to keep bat-fan off her back.
Anyway, it's a lot of things going on in this graphic novel. I was a bit doubtful at the beginning when the alien got free, but the story turned out to be better than I had anticipated. Still, I found this volume to just above-average, with now and then some funny bits. The action sequences were good and as usual is my favorite crazy chick wreaking havoc wherever she goes. On the plus side is the art straight through lovely! Favorite part? Hm, nothing really comes to mind, no story that really shined more than the others. Perhaps Red Tools part in the bat-fan story, it was a good twist.
3.5 of 5 stars
I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a free copy through NetGalley for an honest review!

This one was so much better than the previous Harley Quinn books that I've read!
[image error]
Mostly with multiple antagonists (3-4) books fail to become interesting but this one managed to do it perfectly.
[image error]
I just adore Red Tool and Harley Quinn together, although she's oblivious to his feelings towards her🙄.
But then, there's also poison ivy.
So, now I'm confused about who to ship. I've never been confused about such a thing!
There's Joker also, but he's out of the game. If he weren't then Harley and Joker would be the obvious ship.
I hate that they broke up, they'd already broken up before this book, but still.😥
Enough of that this was a genuinely nice book. I was invested in it throughout the read. It had action, humor and it tackled issues like homelessness.
It also had Harley's parents.
If you love Harley Quinn, then this book is for you!

Wow that was quite fun.
World: The art really was not my thing this time around. I generally don't mind a insane artist shifts for this bimonthly book but man this time there was a really scratchy section of her book that just didn't appeal to me. I don't like super serious and scratchy art for Harley and this was it. The world building is fun, there are a lot of moving pieces and knowing that Conners and Palmiotti is leaving I can see a lot of the pieces they are using as we draw closer to their departure. Strata was the best piece.
Story: Three tales that were quite fun for me. The Strata villain with Atlee and Peej just brings back fond memories of Power Girl's wonderful run by this creative team, add that to the Power Girl Harley miniseries and it'd just fun times. The banter was great. The second arc with the Cannibals was also very good, it's been a long time since we had murder murder Harley and it's great when really terrible villains get it. It's fun. Then there is the okay Batgal thing. I've it was fun. It made me laugh. It did what it's suppose to do.
Characters: Harley is Harley and that's the best part, she is charming and sweet and nuts making her a fun read and anyone she interacts with is great. I love the in your face social commentary that Harley us able to spout without worrying about starting a debate, she is what she is. PG and Atlee made me smile so hard, Ilove these two characters and their interactions and banter was great. The villains this time around was also kinda funny and quirky and clichéd but I like it.
Solid good fun.
Onward to the next book!

Harley teams up with Power Girl and Atlee to fight an all powerful being from Atlee's underworld city. Meanwhile, the mayor has hired cannibals to rid NYC of its homeless population. This guy is worse than the mayor from Buffy. Then a Batfan from the future comes back in time to kill Harley because she thinks Harley will kill Batman. None of the stories really grabbed me and the jokes are starting to fall flat.

ARC REVIEW
Story: Do you remember that door that Red Tool was supposed to seal after Harley and he had their little adventure down in the tunnels under the building? Well Giant bugs have brought the cocoon out into the light of day and what comes out isn’t pleasant. That’s where issues 14-16, Nether Regions, starts us off at. With the help of another underworld dweller Atlee and Power Girl they manage to subdue Zorcrom, well not as much as the rabid squirrel. Along with the megalomaniac who has decided that Power Girl will be his queen we also learn that the mayor’s aid has hired a bunch of cannibals to eat the homeless population (hence the name Red Meat), Harley Sin is out of Arkham and out for revenge, and in the distant possible future a young woman works her way to the top of the battle royal so she can go back in time to kill Harley Quinn. After the defeat of Zorcrom Harley is approached by the Chief of Police to look into the disappearing homeless problem only to be kidnapped herself, it’s a good thing she can talk to the dead and that she is completely insane. Red Tool revealed! WHAT!?!?
Review: Just keeps getting better, I loved the progression of the stories how they all were all set up and then fell one by one like dominos well except for Harley Sin’s her part isn’t done yet. These four story arcs fit well in with each other it’s an easy transition from one to the next. Harley has some real sane moments only to be followed up by batshit crazy. I love Red Tools part of the story. I think it's funny how Harley's hair changes length with each artist. Overall, this was a great one, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

So glad my babe is back in the third trade of her current Rebirth series!! I know the first trade sucked, but SERIOUSLY. Seriously. They get better. They really do. Vol 2 was significantly better than the first, and this third one continued to wow me just like the former. Deciding to stick with 4/5 stars because there's one storyline I don't like, and it's going to continue in the next trade. Hopefully it'll play out better than it began.
My favorite parts about this volume:
1) we see how Harley has really developed as a person, with how she uses her abilities, and her choices. She is truly a marvelous anti-hero, and I'm so so glad that the writers have been able to capture her development throughout these last two solo series.
2) Harley and her big fat crush on Power Girl show up again and I love it
3) I just realized that Red Tool is basically the closest we're going to get to that Harley/Deadpool team up the entire internet (or........at least me) has been dreaming of for years. Thank you writers for giving a DC version of Deadpool your best shot.
3.5) Can Marvel and DC get along for literally two seconds so we can have an official Harley/Deadpool team up? Also so Ivy can meet Groot pls + thank u
Out September 19th!!

'Harley Quinn Vol. 3: Red Meat' by Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, and John Timms collects the lead stories from Harley Quinn #14-21. Harley continues her life of being an antihero with her weird group of friends.
When a group of large beings that live under the ground show up, they unleash a being that Harley isn't capable of handling, so she calls in some friends like Power Girl, who reluctantly shows up.
The mayor of New York has hired a group of people to take care of the homeless population and Harley Quinn is sent undercover to find out what is going on.
I keep thinking there are interesting things to do with this character, but I haven't found what I'm looking for yet. The humorous antihero thing has been done before and better. When I have a hard time staying interested to finish a graphic novel, that's a sign that I've just lost interest.

In this volume, we see Harley take on a ultra powerful subterranean villain, fight a bat-fan-warrior chick from the future, take down a cabal of homeless eating cannibals, and end up home just in time for her parents to come over for a visit!
A jam packed volume to say the least. Usually, these amount of cramming doesn't work in comics. But in the case of Harley and her wild and weird life, it works charmingly well. There is so much craziness going on around her all the time, that each new thing is just another chapter in the Harley Quinn book of life. And while there may be some ups and downs to the plots in general, I think Conner did a great job of keeping Harley consistent in tone and in the way she reacts to each threat.
I think the art is really good, as it seems three artists kind of rotate penciling duties. Each are good in their own way, so yeah good job on the art.
Doesn't hurt that there are some backup stories by Paul Dini that are very reminiscent of the animated series. These are definitely a throwback and one can even hear the voices of the cartoon when reading this, if one is so nostalgically inclined.
Overall a solid volume of Harley wackiness.

I enjoyed this perhaps more than I probably should've, but for some reason this volume clicked for me. I would've liked to see Poison Ivy, but Harley had an entertaining series of adventures in which she attempted to defeat a powerful subterranean being via talking, pastrami and Power Girl; uncovered and stopped the evil Mayor's henchbeing's scheme to solve the homeless problem by hiring cannibals to abduct and eat homeless people, and still managed to host a visit from her parents. There wasn't as much focus on the other members of her rag-tag group, but it felt like a series of stories linked by the fact that Harley genuinely cares about the people in her area and tries to do the right thing. Well, most of the time. Plus, ballistic rabid squirrel hurling!
July 9, 2022
This ine continues the trend from volume 2 of being a bit darker and tighter plotting. The door from the last volume comes into play, and the rest is led into by that short arc. The art is ok as well, and the whole discussion on homeless people that takes up most of the volume was done well. Red Tool continues to be less anoying as well, so overall the series has improved alot in my opinion.
May 2, 2018
This was so much fun to read! I thoroughly enjoyed myself; definitely one of the best in this series.

Good stories with some very unexpected twists such as Red Tool.

Three volumes in and the new 52 run is looking better and better.
April 19, 2019
This is my favorite story arc so far! Harley finds herself caught up in a plot by the mayor and specifically his assistant Madison to "take care" of the homeless population of New York. I really liked the flow to this story. Hatley Quinn is always just a fun read with a lot of heart.

**I received a free eARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**
There's a lot going on in this volume: Harley dealing with this crazy narcissistic alien, cannibals wanting to get a piece of her, and even a huge Batman fan coming from the future to kill her (yep!).
And I seriously have to ask, how does this girl manage to cause so much trouble? It's admirable, really. And she doesn't even do it on purpose, we all know she's become a good girl now, no matter how crazy she might be. Bad stuff just happens wherever she goes... which actually makes things more fun.
Oh and I was really happy to see that Harley meditates! I know it may sound dumb, but it's just that I also meditate a lot myself, so I thought it was pretty cool.
The art for the most part was amazing, as always, although I think this is the first volume where I wasn't such a big fan of some of the art.
Also worth mentioning, I can't get enough of Red Tool! I just love how crazy he is about Harley, and how nice he is. Hopefully we get to keep him around much more.
Fun as always, I love reading these comics :)

I struggled to get through this. Full review to come.
Update:
I recently finished this book after having to borrow it from the library since I didn’t read it in time when I received it from Netgalley. Throughout most of it, I found myself to be a bit bored with the storyline. The art is very good (as I tend to think for most of the DC Rebirth line), but I did not find myself gripped by the tale. Harley is sleuthing to discover why homeless people in her town keep going missing, and the reason (and the government’s involvement) is quite shocking! There are typical kick-butt moments that you’d expect here. If you’ve read this one, let me know your thoughts on it since I felt so strange not being pulled in to this story.
Thank you to DC Comics and Netgalley for my advance review copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

This was a much better plot with way better storytelling devices on Harley Quinn!! It's easily the best out of the series thus far.
My last review was deleted due to a good-reads glitch 🤬!! So this one is going to be basic.
1) Zorcrom is from the tunnels underneath Harley's apartment building, and he is brought to the surface by his ant slaves. He vows to rule over the world, so Harley tries to stop him, but a young woman named Atlee with powers from the Strata tribe comes to the surface as well to help. In the process, Harley gets separated and spends some time with Zorcrom to reason with him, but he is still delusional and is now bitten by a rabid squirrel. Atlee enlisted the help of Powergirl, and Zorcrom became smitten with her and wanted to make her his queen. The two go on a date, then Powergirl is offended, and the rabies make Zorcrom crazy so he runs into a bus. Entertaining but drones on 5.5/10🌟.
2) Madison Berkowitz puts her plan into action, and the cannibal crew is put in the posh penthouse with all the trimming. The mayor is pleased that the homeless crisis is ending and then wants to stop the program. Madison returns to tell them the bad news but comes in contact with our heroine, Harley Quinn, who has been sent as an agent by Chief of Police Spoondale. Well, Harley is thrown in the bone chamber of the homeless victims and escapes, then Red Tool comedically tries to help with a missile launcher, then calls for the chief to show up. Harley massacres the team of cannibals bearing the leader Butch. This arc ends with Chief Spoondale and Harley paying their respects to a mass grave in tribute to the homeless lost. It is a disturbing and dark concept, but the ending is nice 6.5/10 🌟.
3) Harley Sinn from the "Gang of Harleys" book is freed from Arkham by the mayor, who will pay over 1/2 million dollars for Her to kill Mason and Madame Macabre. She agrees and then trolls Harley by threatening to kill them after kidnapping the two. The plot is still developing, but I'm interested 4.5/10 🌟 for the current plot.
4) The final plot carries from the beginning to the end. Devani is from the future 2167 and is a Bat-fan Boxer who is enlisted in this fight contest, with the winner going back to the past to kill Harley Quinn, who is believed to have killed Batman. She wins and has a return chip implanted and gets to go to the past for 1 year to carry out her mission. A fight ensues but is stopped by a twisted character.
*SPOILER*: Red Tool is from the future and can't return to the future because he lost his arm from the zombies in Vol 1. He ties up Devani and Harley and explains how this reality is altered, creating an altered future whereby Harley kills Batman, but she doesn't. Devani is then freed and the story ends with Harley getting a surprise visit from her parents. 8.5/10🌟👏. Excellent plot devices and a fluid story with an awesome twist.
Overall this vol was 1,000% better than the past and did Harley Quinn justice. Here's looking forward to vol 4 😏👍❤️🖤💣💥!!
My last review was deleted due to a good-reads glitch 🤬!! So this one is going to be basic.
1) Zorcrom is from the tunnels underneath Harley's apartment building, and he is brought to the surface by his ant slaves. He vows to rule over the world, so Harley tries to stop him, but a young woman named Atlee with powers from the Strata tribe comes to the surface as well to help. In the process, Harley gets separated and spends some time with Zorcrom to reason with him, but he is still delusional and is now bitten by a rabid squirrel. Atlee enlisted the help of Powergirl, and Zorcrom became smitten with her and wanted to make her his queen. The two go on a date, then Powergirl is offended, and the rabies make Zorcrom crazy so he runs into a bus. Entertaining but drones on 5.5/10🌟.

Three and a half stars.
I received an advanced copy of Harley Quinn, Volume 3: Red Meat from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
As per usual the artwork is superb. The cover variants at the end are worth taking the time to go through. Harley and the whole crew are back for volume three, though there’s less focus on the Harley Gang this time around. There are plenty of other things going on without them however, so fear not.

Once again, Harley Quinn is facing an alien threat. At least, it looks alien. (Giant ants…ooh, that’s a classic. Takes me back to the 1950s, it does.) Also, Zorcrom (that’s the alien bad guy) pulls out a Conan the Barbarian quotation. Schwarzenegger would be so proud.
Harley, as I may have stated, is full of surprises. Maybe she does like charging into a fight, mallets, axes, fists swinging and feet kicking. But she recognizes when she’s outgunned and is perfectly willing to sit back and let superpowered people deal with superpowered menaces.
Harley also knows when talking is preferable to fighting and we see her bring those considerable skills to bear. I’m reminded of another comic in which she, the Joker and his goons break into a museum to steal some loot at the same time that another supervillain and his henchmen were going to hit it. To make things worse, both bad guys were after the same item. Harley pointed out that fighting it out would destroy the desired items and both men would be dissatisfied. She managed to get them to split the item—a Comedy and Tragedy mask duo— without a battle and they departed peacefully.
She’s got her work cut out for her here, however. Unlike the Joker, Zorcrom has no sense of humor. He also thinks he should take a superpowered heroine for his queen—Power Girl. At least the Joker knew when a woman was out of his league!
Harley is no lone wolf; she has an able team working with her and she manages best with their help. But the thing about Harley and her cohorts is that they’re not what you’d call a well-oiled machine. They’re more like a junky car that’s over 40 years old with cracked windshields, a dodgy carburetor and doors held on by duct tape. The old clunker may keep going but it’s a miracle that it doesn’t blow up or fall to pieces on the road.
This story weaves back and forth with two other tales and the threads slowly start to wind together. The ending is just the sweet cheery on the top of the red-dripping sundae that is Harley’s life. We’re reminded all over again that she’s a human being with a job, home and family. It’s just another facet of the crazy Harleen Quinzel we’ve come to know.

It's time for the solo Harley Quinn movie DC Comics: We open with Harley walking down the street, her hammer swung over her shoulder, walking to "These Boots Were Made For Walking" by Nancy Sinatra.
"Harley Quinn Vol. 3: Red Meat" starts with ants that were released from a previous Harley expedition. The ants are intelligent and are bent on raising their leader Zorcrom whose plot for revenge is thrown for his now wanting to take over Earth. Harley gets help from Atlee, from Strata (Zorcrom's kingdom), and Power Girl, whom Zorcrom wants for his queen.
Harley faces multiple battles in this new adventure including Harley Sinn who is out to get back at her. She is let go from Arkham but someone wants her to play the assassin game by taking out Quinn's ex-boyfriend, Randy Houser, for reasons that are hidden to everyone, but instead of carrying out the assignment, she takes him captive instead.
The only suspect of who's behind this plot to kill Harley's ex is the Gotham Mayor, who has a fiendish plot in place so vile, Harley Quinn's going to make sure that her hammer gets put to good use as she finds out the reason why so many of the homeless in the city have gone missing.
Also thrown in the mix is a battle started 150 years in the future that involves Devani Kage who fights in a gladiator type battle where the winner gets to go back in time...to stop Harley Quinn. Once in the timeline, however, she must face the radical change in Harley and the truth about her past-and another central character to Harley's story-that pretty much changes the game.
I always trust that when I pick up a Harley DC Comic, it's going to be crazy, zany, and fun and this newest collection proves it's still good to trust DC's Harley series for a good read. Always great artwork and always a great story that involves the Queen of DC Destruction doing what she does best-kicking bad guy behind and having fun while doing it.
Harley says it best: "Part-Time Hero, Full-Time Hellion...Or is it the other way around?"

Harley Quinn Vol. 3: Red Meat by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti is a graphic novel featuring all the action, comedy, and even drama one would expect from the title psycho anti-hero. This graphic novel collects issues of Harley Quinn $14 – 21.
Harley Quinn is taking on the corrupt mayor of New York City who is paying cannibals to eat the homeless. Unbeknown to Harley, a former adversary names Harley Sinn is out of jail and looking for revenge. All the while a future fighter comes to the past so she could kill her before Harley kills Batman.
But the real stress is trying to get her apartment clean before her parents come to visit.
My brain simply can’t comprehend that I enjoy the Harley Quinn comics so much, I find myself laughing at the gags and involved in the stories. Harley Quinn Vol. 3: Red Meat by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti was a lot of fun to read and easy to follow.
There is a lot of fun world building in this book, and I really enjoy the fact the both the writers and artists didn’t take themselves too seriously. It looks like they had a blast working on these comics and it comes through.
There are several new (to me?) characters in this graphic novel, but I didn’t find them confusing at all. I really enjoy how Harley Quinn interacts with everyone (she’s both mean and sweet), and how others interact with her knowing what she’s capable of. The social commentary in the book is done with a light touch, so it’s there if you want to read into it but doesn’t smack you in the face (a positive).
Overall this was a solid, and fun book. The story progressed quickly, building up from the previous graphic novels (which are not necessary to read before getting this one).

Bardzo nierówny tom, który w pierwszej części trzeba przetrwać, zaś potem fabuła nabiera rozpędu i aż żal, że komiks się kończy. Dziwne jak sama Harley.
Duet Conner-Palmiotti potrafi swoją wyobraźni odjechać w zaskakujące rejony. Już początek wydaje się nieco inny, kiedy ogromne mrówki taszczą z domu Harley ogromny kokon. Z tego kokonu coś się wykluwa i nasza bohaterka ze spółką muszą się uporać z problemem, który może przerosnąć ich możliwości. Może trzeba będzie wezwać kogoś do pomocy?
W tle działają dwie dziunie, które mają coś do naszej bohaterki i może się to skończyć różnie. Jedna chce skrzywdzić Quinn poprzez buskich, druga przybywa aż z przeszłości... Jednak nie to jest mięskiem tego zbioru. Wątek że znikającymi bezdomnymi jest naprawdę super. Dynamiczny, należycie krwawy, dający się bohaterce nieco wyżyć za pewnego przyjaciela. No i na plus, że ciekawie rozwinięto wątek Red Toola, który całkiem wydatnie pomaga Harley.
Kreska. John Timms jest chyba stworzony dla obrazowania wytworów wyobraźni duetu autorów. Jego kreska jest ostra, szczegółowa, aż czasami za mocno, ale nadal się to podoba. Bardzo dobrze sprawdza się w akcji, jak i makabrze, bo krwi jest tu sporo. Prace J. M. Linsnera są już dużo bardziej toporniejsze, mniej bogate w szczegóły, jakby ociosane i średnio mi podeszły. Też ciemniejsza paleta barw słabiej pasuje do koncepcji postaci, niż jasne, krzykliwe kolory towarzyszące pracom Timmsa.
Tom trudny w odbiorze na początku, żeby nie rzec: nudny. Potem sytuacja ulega diametralnej zmianie i zabawa jest już przednia. Fanom nie muszę rekomendować.

Serviceable entry but not one of my favorites. The rebirth series has taken a decidedly darker tone than the previous books by Connor and Palmiotti dealing with zombies and now cannibals. The zombie series kept the Harley Quinn vibe though being crazy, irreverent and fast-paced but this entry is just plain dark as the mayor of NYC hires cannibals to eat the homeless. This is a secondary story with the main arc dealing with an egomaniac space alien hell-bent on taking over the world. Who'd thunk it? But the writers have never been ones to approach these formulaic stories get in their way and there are some good scenes here with power girl feeling inconvenienced about helping Harley once again and Harley trying to talk the alien out of his megalomania. One particularly memorable scene has Harley informing the would-be conquerer that if he enslaved all of humanity no-one would be around to make hotdogs after getting him addicted to said snack food. All that works fine but when the cannibals appear it all becomes gory and dark.
Two other stories involving Harley Sinn out to get the queen of mayhem and a batgirl from the future trying to do the same add to the book but both stories were too short to really have an impact and are setups for future installments - thought both look promising.
Again this is a serviceable book but not one of their best and these writers have set such a high standard that simply being good is a disappointment.

This collection has three major storylines, although a couple of them weave into each other. The first details what happened with the door Harley exploded underneath her building, leading to a new antagonist, a new ally, and the reappearance of a Quinn favorite. The story is pretty perfect, with Quinn using brains instead of brawn (but there's plenty of punching going on too). The second storyline, with the Mayor's Clean-up project, feels a bit Buffy-esque and gets a little disgusting, but still works well, providing Quinn with a more down-to-earth opponent that still manages to be very easy to hate. Red Tool gets a chance to show off here, too, but his real center stage is in the two-issue third story, that throws time travel shenanigans into the mix, with a Bat-fan from the future coming back in time to kill Harley. It takes more time explaining the scenario than really exploring it, although there's a pretty good fight between Harley and her new challenger. While there is some level of closure provided here, there's definitely a sense that more of the story is coming (and another thread about Harley Sinn is also present but mainly as set-up in this volume).
All told, this volume really gives Harley a chance to show her strength on a variety of levels, both chaos agent and conciliator, and the various story set-ups seem to promise even better to come in the next volume.

Less on the comedy and much more on the violence, Harley Quinn Volume 3, deals with some true nasties...
Beginning with Harley sticking her nose where it doesn't belong, she accidentally releases Zorcromp, a seemingly invincible conqueror, from his earthly prison in Strata. Atlee (Terra) and Power Girl join in on this adventure, which is full of the obvious hijinks, but also some excellent fight scenes.
In the background though (and the second half of the Volume), the mayor has hired some fairly ravenous cannibals to "take care of" the homeless population. This doesn't sit well with Harley and she (showing more blood and gore than readers are used to seeing in a DC book) takes their whole group out, earning further respect from the Chief of Police.
All seems peaceful until a woman, Devani Cage, dressed as a "Bat-hero" shows up, claiming to be from the future where Harley has killed Batman. Cage is stopped and send back, but only after a huge reveal.... Red Tool was the first person sent back from that time to stop Harley, but he ended up falling in love with her. When will this come out, and how will Harley react?
Much better Volume than the previous, and showing the violent side of Harley is much needed.
Recommend.
