Harley Quinn #52
| Writer | Elliott Kalan |
| Artist | Mindy Lee |
| Cover Price | $3.99 |
When that crappy but kinda hot Althea Klang attempts to drive me and Mrs.Grimaldi out of our minds by installing a phone charging station (a.k.a. a hipsterloiterer magnet) right outside of our home, we take things straight to court! Butas we try to plead our very endearing and straightforward case, we’re derailedby an avalanche of differing opinions as a cadre of concerned citizens make theirnumerous differing opinions known.Every story has two sides, except for some (like this one) which have something likeseven sides. It’s a classic she said, she said, she said, she said case!

Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Jun 25, 2025Overall, it's pretty funny and Harley and Ravager playing off each other is great. I'm not sure about the ongoing subplot involving Althea Klang's crush on Harley, though the villainess isn't a particularly entertaining character, and I don't get why both Harley and Ivy are being given new love interests suddenly.

AIPT - Chris Showalter
Jun 26, 2025Saturated with comedy and combat, Harley Quinn #52 is pure, unadulterated comic book junk food. Elliot Kalan's Looney Tunes-inspired humor is addictive, leading you mindlessly flip from one page to the next. Mindy Lee's artwork and Triona Farrell's colors add to the narrative's humor and cartoonish tone. Unfortunately, there's little substance to leave you satisfied long after reading the book. There's a message in here about politics and gentrification, yet it feels more like an afterthought than a through-line for the reader to follow. As a result, the titular characters' Merry Melodies-fueled hijinks drown out the themes. Read Full Review

Batman-News - Jack Whyte
Jun 25, 2025HQ #52 is not a complete departure from its title's formula, but it's a fresh enough approach to keep things moderately interesting despite lackluster art. With writer Elliot Kalan's comedy background shining through more apparently than it has in months, this is something we maybe have not had all year from this title: genuine entertainment.
