DC Comics Presents: Harley Quinn #1 by Yvel Guichet, Paul Dini, Doug Alexander, James Patrick, Ronnie, Joe Quiñones, Del Carmen
3.0
First off, I really like this cover. It really catches the eye and draws you in, and the contrast between Harley's pose and expression of careless abandon and Joker's sinister expression and controlling body language is fantastic. The cover sold me.
The comic itself isn't as serious as the cover, which is expected of Harley Quinn. How Harley meets Poison Ivy is a good enough story, as well as Harley's origin. Not a big fan of the art in Harley Quinn #1 (too many sharp angles for me), but the colours are nice to look at.
"The Most Important Day of the Year" has lovely art. The story is just a silly bit about how Harley goes a little love-crazy on Valentine's Day. It's short and entertaining.
"The Bet" has VERY animated TV-style art that I don't mind, and the story features Poison Ivy, who, in my opinion, always adds colour to anything with Harley in it.
"Punchline" is very short. It doesn't have any dialogue, but it's amusing.
"Justice is Served" has the best art and story of the book. It features Poison Ivy and, like "Punchline" is in black and white.
"The Origin of Harley Quinn" is the last part of the book and is only two pages long.
Overall, it's a fun read. Light and nothing complicated going on. You don't need to know much about Gotham City to enjoy this.
