I was stuck in a reading funk and decided to give a comic a shot. Little did I know I would become a huge fan of Harley Quinn that I have been devouring all her comics. I love the art and the stories paint her in a light I never expected. I have enjoyed every installment so far and looking forward to reading them all. Highly recommend she's quickly become my favorite DC character.

I am going to be honest and tell you that it is rare that I pick up anything DC (unless it is Wonder Woman) and even rarer if it is Harley Quinn.
But the cover to this one caught my eye. I have to say this one is simply stunning. There are no words to describe how pretty this cover is and if there are to be more covers like this then it might continue to pique my interest in the series (I'm a sucker for covers).
The story opens with the Joker having returned to Harley but Harley doesn't seem very happy to see him in the least. Perhaps she has reasons for this (as I have not read any comics between them) and though he seems to be sincere in his words, part of Harley (as well as myself) wonder what motives he has to be interested in her.
On top of that Red Tool is far less than pleased that Harley's former lover is back in the picture. I cannot say I blame him either especially with the history between the two of them. It makes one wonder what exactly Joker has come for Harley for. It always tend to be only when she is useful to him but I suppose we will have to wait until the next installment to find out.
I like Harley in this series. She is interesting and seems to be doing something that has made her much more of a hero than what she had been in the beginning of her life. She is carving something for herself but now things might be changing especially with the joker coming back into the picture. How Harley will handle this is really anyone's guess.
I think I am going to go back and look for the rest of this series and see what exactly has been going on with it.
All in all, I recommend this. I like this Harley and I think many will end up like this one too.

This comic adds a missing scenes in the Harley Quinn issues #11 - 13.
The issue opens up with Harley finding the Joker in her apartment petting her beloved weiner dog, Nathan. Harley, of course, is not pleased at his appearance. In fact after she frees her little dog and sends him downstairs, she turns back to the Joker with a knife in her hands. Joker doesn't even twitch, only tells her he wishes to discuss some matters with her. Harley is thunder-struck that he wants to talk as adults.
As Joker exits, Red Tool comes blaring into her room. The two discuss the reason behind Joker's sudden appearance. Red Tool believes that there is motive for his appearance and so does Harley but she isn't in the mood to discuss it. Instead, she and Red Tool head off to do some damage.
The scene changes to the Mayor, whom has a Homeless problem he wants to get rid of. He also wants Madison as his assisstant. Madison, on the other hand, has reasons of becoming his second hand. She thinks that the Chief of Police employing Harley is headed to disaster and she also believes that if they make some big moves this may prove to get the Mayor re-elected when the time comes.
Harley and Red Tool have broken into a wax museum. There Harley takes down a ghostly tentacle monster. Afterward, Harley heads home to get ready for bed. There she sets her alarm to wake her for her meeting with Joker. As she falls asleep, she is unaware that Red Tool has turned off her alarm.
This was a nice added bonus. It helped to understand what exactly happened to cause Harley's alarm to be turned off. You cannot be too mad at Red Tool for trying to protect her. I know he is not everyone's cup of tea but I think he adds to her a bit. I don't see him as something as a romantic interest for her but more of a brother. I tend to like this relationship. Who knows maybe there might be something more to their relationship.

I kept wondering how her shorts kept changing length and her legs were too long. Just saying.

That convo between Harley and Sinn is everything! I love it when writers respect Harley's PhD and have her act like a proper therapist, and I love that - as crazy as she is - she stayed serious no matter how hard Sinn tried to make her laugh/change the topic. Same with her sticking to the deontology rules. She's got no rules and no limits when it comes to killing/hurting people, but she's very structured and respectful when it matters. She's a great doctor, and a great person too, and I'm very thankful to Conner for writing her that way. And for doing her researches - unlike some other comic authors - before including a scene where Harley's psychology knowledge comes out to play. As for Mason's fate... Well, I didn't thought they'd go that far but, after all the lovey-dovey moments from the previous issue, it was pretty obvious he was going to exit the picture quite soon. I wish it had been under different circumstances, and I'm afraid of what it will mean for Madame Macabre (whom I love very much), and of course for Harley's sanity that is constantly on the edge already. I hope this means Ivy will stay for more issues, that she will be the one helping Harley to cope. But despite the sadness of it all, I must admit it's refreshing to have the "women in refrigerators" trope gender-bended. Mason has been objectified a lot by Harley/the writing, he's been constantly used as a plot device to hurt Harley, and now unless there's a massive (and unlikely) twist, he's officially the man in the refrigerator. Does someone know if he's the first one? I'm curious about that tbh. Anyway. It's an awful trope, but it's interesting to see it reversed and used by a woman too. As always, Conner's a very inventive and talented writer. I can't wait for the next issue!
