Harley Quinn #4

Harley Quinn #4 is a stunning book. This is a gorgeous exploration of the character, with Phillips providing Quinn with a Multiverse of dimensions. There is a deep maturity to the discussions had inside these pages, which contrasts superbly with the silliness of the rest of it. The characters all feel big and energetic, and the art gives the comic a unique look that makes it stand out against anything else currently available. This is a celebration of who Harley Quinn is, as she finds out who she is. Read Full Review

A pleasure to read from cover to cover,Harley Quinn #4represents the perfect union between writer and artist. In this issue, Stephanie Phillips, Riley Rossmo, and Ivan Plascencia are firing on all cylinders. Read Full Review

With a wicked set of covers, exquisitely fun writing, killer artwork… Harley Quinn #4 is heartfelt and just plain FUN. The series is taking a deep dive into who Harley truly is… when it's just her. Watching her gain that strength makes this series a joy and a pleasure for all Harley Quinn fans. Read Full Review

I love Harley Quinn the most when shes acting as a hero, but with morally dubious methods. When she leans more towards the hero part of the antihero trope, but still wont hesitate to chaos complete and utter chaos. And thats the Harley weve seen thus far in this run.  Read Full Review

Rossmo and Plascencia use a combination of detailed drawings and stunning colors to create the world of Harley Quinn. I really like the way the color palate changes depending on perspective and setting. This is an eye-catching issue that is completely engaging. Read Full Review

I wish there was a little more of Harley driving her own story rather than responding to provocations from the Peacekeepers and Hugo Strange, but this is a solid first arc to an ongoing series and hopefully a long run. Read Full Review

The story by Phillips is a lot of fun. She writes an entertaining script yet again and it is a good time for sure. I love Riley Rossmo's art and that is the selling point for me. It is another good issue in a series that is really working for me. Read Full Review

For all the energy and action the art brings to the story, I still feel like it kind of meanders a bit. Like the second book in a trilogy, the story eventually makes it to an exciting moment at the end, but I feel like the time spent in this issue could have been used a little better, either to give more insight into Harley, or in building up the story with Kevin and Strange. Still, the ending does promise some excitement next issue, and I for one am eager to see how it plays out. Read Full Review

Harley Quinn #4 continues the dynamism, humor, and complexity of the series. If you like Harley, and perhaps even if you do not, the book is well worth the read. Read Full Review

Even with Rossmo's art hitting a stride, the actual story it is supporting simply doesn't move leaving the issue to be little more than a fun and pretty piece of mostly filler. Read Full Review

Harley Quinn #4 takes a few baby steps in progressing the plot, but the story does little more than trying to validate Harley by coaxing her to accept she is her own person. The art is not going to be everyone's cup of tea, and the central plot has effectively stalled. Read Full Review

I must be living in bizarro world because I am really enjoying a Harley Quinn comic. I know so, so many people don't like the art. I think it has its place, and Harley Quinn is one of those places. It's super dynamic in how it's structured, and I really like when artists break out of that rigidness and let loose. I will say, some stuff did look a little underdone, especially if it's supposed to be a panel you quickly glance to get you to the next action panel.

I enjoyed it, though the series could be better if the at wasnt cartoonish. But the action seems to be visually engaging, and I like how Harley Quinn cares for that clown

When life gets you down you can count on the absurd to change perspectives. That's what Harley does here.

A fun issue here as we finally get a confrontation between Harley and Hugo, even if it's at the very end. Phillips does a nice job of making Harley compelling and likable here, something that's been seen in the past there issues as well. I liked the deeper introspection we got here as well. As for Rossmo's art, it's still been difficult to get used to his style, but I do like it in general.

Praise the gods, not even art is respectable here.

Absolute garbage. Will never understand how Rossmo has a job drawing comics.
