Harley Quinn #52

There's a line in this issue that really stuck with me: "Nostalgia is a trap." Lately, Harley has been wanting to go back to her old life of crime. Not because she liked being a criminal more but because it was just simpler. The same sentiment could apply to a lot of people these days. These days, everyone's nostalgic for the 90s because that time seemed easier. There wasn't the same existential threat posed by technology and social media, and people weren't constantly talking about politics every single day. Read Full Review

Captain Triumph's story continues in Harley Quinn #52, and this issue holds on to everything that made the previous issue a standout. The pacing is perfect, with the story sacrificing nothing in slowing down from the title's usually bonkers hijinks. Read Full Review

This one is an easy 10/10 and I cannot wait to see what lies in store for us next time. What are your thoughts readers? Are you enjoying the Harley Quinn series as much as we are? Let us know in the comments below. Read Full Review

Its very reassuring to see a character who is both crazy and relatable. Its also reassuring to see her walk the narrow path towards becoming something other than a detriment to society. As the storyline progresses, itll be interesting to see how Harleys long term character development is going to affect how everyone relates to her, on and off the page. Read Full Review

Sam Humphries has brought Harley's character full circle, as she officially retires her old costume and old ways with it. By far the best part of this week's issue was the contrast between Harley's vivid costume and Captain Triumph's muted look crafted by Sami Basri and Alex Sinclair. Read Full Review

All in all, this is definitely worth the purchase. It's a great story and the art is fantastic. The entire team deserves a pat on the back. Excellent stuff! Read Full Review

A strong conclusion to the Captain Triumph arc. Read Full Review

Harley Quinn #52 is full of the action and humor that only she can bring, but it also uses the concept of continuity to explore some interesting questions about our fandom and comic books in general. Read Full Review

It's the kind of plot that could only happen in Harley Quinn, and Humphries' anarchic approach makes me look forward to this book every issue. Read Full Review

If DC Comics(or any comic book publisher, for that matter) were to choose to resurrect anyof the classic Golden age characters, they could do a lot worse than hiringSami Basri to illustrate same. Basris fine lines and smooth textures fit thestreamlined era of the 1930s and 40 so very well. Read Full Review

Bonkers. Goofy. And Charming To Boot! Read Full Review

I thoroughly enjoyed this comic, and the two-part run that it was a part of.Harley Quinn is going from strength to strength and that's down to the creative team working on the project. I certainly hope they keep working on it all together. And I look forward to seeing where it takes Harley next. Read Full Review

Harley Quinn #52 is not a comic without its problems, but all things considered, I really did enjoy this issue for its fun artwork and steady pace. While I wish DC would just stop with all the continuity and fourth wall breaking, I appreciate that Jonni DC contributed to Harley's character development in this issue. Read Full Review

A satisfying conclusion to the Triumph arc, as he returns to the past, and all signs point to the future for Harley. Who knows what will come next! Read Full Review

Even if you're a big Captain Triumph fan for some reason, you can pass this issue up. Heck, if you're a big Captain Triumph fan, this issue just might piss you off. Overpriced, even if it were one dollar. Read Full Review

I can't imagine what could be more painful than dialogues in Harley's comics. Just stop, please, pushing this accent gimmick so much on every panel, it's more painful than being smacked in the head with a mallet. These dialogues would be bad enough without it! From my observations, I think I can establish a principle: if Harley has this annoying accent gimmick, the entire comic will be trash. Let's call it Nihilist's law. I wonder if any writer proves me wrong, because as of now, I don't recall a good Harley comic that would feature this overused gimmick. Nothing worth recommending - the comic is unbearably poor.

I can't believe a font could annoy me so much... As for the story, it's very simple and in a much better writer's hands, it could work. Sam Humphries' dialogue is trash. Most exemplified by the final page. Give it a rest, please. End this comic or get someone who isn't just going to piggy back off of the garbage Conner and Palmiotti runs.
