Harley Quinn

Birds of Prey #5

Birds of Prey #5

This series has begun to spin its wheels. With the novelty of the team’s makeup worn off and no effort to really explain just what the hell the Megaera is or what it wants (other than Sin‘s body) there’s not much of note in this issue except for repeated sequences of scenes we’ve already seen before, only less effective the second time around. For example, we get Barda versus Wonder Woman again, except this time Diana is mind-controlled by the Megaera making her a far less imposing threat leading to a different outcome.

Harley Quinn #35

There’s not an abundance of plot in Harley Quinn #35 with pages and pages devoted to Harley‘s monologuing and freaking out about her problems and the evil Brother Eyes monologuing about their plans (without giving anything away). The issue boils down into the evil Brother Eyes kidnapping Harley’s students and holding them hostage as an attempt to bait Harley into a trap while also infecting most of Harley’s new multiversal friends with their virus.

Harley Quinn: Black + White + Redder #6

Harley Quinn: Black + White + Redder #6 provides our final three tales of Harley Quinn‘s wacky adventures in black and white (and red). We get Harley helping the Bat-Family and also breaking the fourth wall to talk to the reader discussing her various incarnations over the years and present motivations in a very Deadpool-like “Harleys All the Way Down” before stopping the crazy plot by Dr. De-Extinquisher King whose giant robotic Dodo, with Nightwing and dynamite strapped to it, is running wild over Gotham City.

Birds of Prey #3

Birds of Prey #3

The suicide mission of invading Themyscira begins. All things considered, Harley Quinn‘s insane plan works as the Birds of Prey are able to sneak onshore from the ocean and Black Canary is successfully able to find Sin. However, there are some unexpected twists involving Zealot making a pact with the island, Barda loosing her favorite thumping stick, and Green Arrow distracting Wonder Woman from events on the island not going exactly as planned.
