Harley Quinn #37

I would highly recommend the current run of Harley comics to anyone who's not onboard yet. Every issue is a delightful romp. If you're like me, you'll have your roommates knocking on your door to figure out why you're chuckling in no time. Read Full Review

This is a slick, fun issue which foreshadows a looming threat to Harley and Coney Island, while also maintaining Harleys distance from her friendship circle. The plot developments are intriguing with a slightly more adult edge to them. All in all, a very strong book. Read Full Review

"Angry Bird Part One" is compelling follow-up to the "Batter Up" story arc and while it's a lot of set up with the promise of action to come, it's fully of humorous pop-culture references that helps Harley pop right off the page and draw fans in as for what the eventual showdown between Harley and Penguin might hold.

Harley Quinn (2016-) #37 is enjoyable and showcasesdifferent sides of Harley. Also mutant penguins and violence, what isn't there to love? How will Harley and The Penguin duke it out? You'll just have to stay tuned! Read Full Review

A really good and fun issue overall, and sets up what should be a very interesting second part of this story arc. Read Full Review

We ask the question "Where's Harley Quinn?" And we get answers! Pieces are slid into place for a bigger moment that will take place later--sooner, rather than, if I had my druthers. Not a bad bit of Harley yarn for those inclined to such pleasures. Lots of goofery and chicanery abound. Read Full Review

This is the quickest read of the four issues so far, but it's also the most entertaining. Read Full Review

Will she or won't she? Harley seems to still be hanging between worlds in Frank Tieri's just-hatched run on the title with his second story about some very angry birds. Our titular heroine is both carrying on in a business-as-usual sense, putting herself out as muscle-for-hire, but also continuing to reject her old life in Coney Island, though we can see in one poignant moment that the disconnect is a heavy mantle for her to shoulder. Meanwhile the city is beleaguered by a new threat"and not just one that waddles. Come for the penguins, stay for the mayhem that is sure to follow as Cobblepot plots a mighty migration that's sure to get Harley's full attention. Read Full Review

New writer Frank Tieri seems to be downplaying Harleys sizable supporting cast, which Ifeel is a good strategy. Its become unwieldy, and increasingly difficult tojustify each individuals place within the book. Though replacement artist Mirka Andolfo is perhaps new to the title, the artwork is consistent with whats come before. Almost as if there is a house style that each of DCs majortitles are following.

The new issue of Harley Quinn leans hard into cartoonish silliness and expedience as the new writer continues to find his groove. Read Full Review

We haven't really seen Andolfo in Harley Quinn that much or really recently, but she did an awesome job with everything and Harley's outfit. The way Alex Sinclair incorporates bright colors with her art works well. The ending of this issue got exciting since we get a lot more villains and familiar faces. Read Full Review

I'm not sure how I feel about the art style in this issue. It was good, but it was also different. All of the characters (Harley included) look slightly different here, and I'm not sure I like all the chances. Harley looks younger and more "cutesy" which I feel is an even further deviation from her original character, but I've also sort of gotten used to it at this point. The rest of the artwork is fine, other than the slight changes mentions they more or less stick to the art style expected for Harley comics. Read Full Review

Definitely better than last two issues, introducing the new creative team, but there's nothing about it I'd say stands out. The story is faithful to Palmiotti and Conner's style, and that's honestly something I consider a flaw. Big flaw. Seeing what was done with Harley in recent Batman: The White Knight issue, this one falls short, offering nothing but the usual Brooklyn accent gimmick and soap opera-ish plot. The art, for once, is consistent and I would consider it cute. Harley looks adorable and contrary to the previous issue, doesn't have any problems with her breast size. Otherwords, she doesn't look like Power Girl... Although her legs on variant cover, drawn by Frank Cho, surely look like thick, like something Solomon Grundy would be proud of. Character movements and expressions are nicely captured on the panels, and look as dynamic as the general style allows them to. It's overall issue's highlight - too bad positives end with the art. more
