Katana Collins is a USA Today bestselling author of over twenty novels, novellas, and comic books in a variety of genres. She is most known for her sensual contemporary romances and her wildly popular comic book— Batman White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn with DC Comics.
When she was younger and stole her mother’s Harlequins to read beneath the covers with a flashlight, she wanted to read about the tough as nails heroine. The perfectly imperfect girl with quirks and attitude and sass. And the anti-heroes who were anything but “Prince Charming.” Forget the knight on a white horse … she wanted the bad boy on a motorcycle.
An avid animal lover, she lives in Portland, Maine with her kind of mean cat, derpy lab-pitt mix, mellow chihuahua, and very not mellow cairn terrier puppy. Oh, yeah… there’s a husband somewhere in that mix, too.
She can usually be found in a coffee shop with her nose buried in a laptop wearing fabulous (albeit sometimes impractical) shoes.
She loves connecting with book lovers like herself, and fellow sassy storytellers, so feel free to drop her an email, visit her on her website. She also loves connecting on Instagram, Facebook or in her reader group, Kat’s Kittens!
This issue gave us some much needed backstory into the relationship of Jack Napier and Harley Quinn. It’s interesting to have a light shed on the human side of Joker. By no means does it make him sympathetic but it allows you to better understand the mindset and motivations behind Harley’s actions.
A couple of great cameos, a tasting nod to Harley Quinn the animated series, as well as one tasty BTAS Easter Egg make this an absolute perfect issue.
Matteo Scalera was born to draw Batman and I can’t wait for what’s to come. Collins is crafting a true detective story. She’s a student of the Bat, just like her husband Sean. And she’s also one hell of a writer.
4.5 stars. I love that we're getting so much backstory on Harley and Jack's relationship. It's super interesting and really puts a lot of things into perspective. I also hope that we get some type of explanation as to why Harley is so detached as a mother. She has zero nurturing skills towards her human children but adores the hell out of her babies because they were gifts that Jack gave to her early in their relationship before things started to change. Very fascinating.
Still intrigued but I hope the Poison Ivy cameo isn’t just that. Despite Not being really sure how everyone fits in, I’m enjoying the ride. Never thought I’d be sympathetic for Jack.
