Review:

This volume is the start of the current series of Harley Quinn comics. Harley is one of my favourite superhero characters, so I was so excited to read this graphic novel!

This was a great story. Harley faced a few different villains in this book, including Granny Goodness. This book had three different storylines, so it was full of things to read!

I love when Harley reads comics and refers to the writers of her comics. It’s a great way of breaking the fourth wall, by recognizing that you are actually reading a comic!

I loved this graphic novel! I can’t wait to read the next one!

I have yet to read any DC Comics as I have been caught up in Marvel for the past year but I do like Harley Quinn and this sounds like something I might enjoy reading. She’s my favorite character to fight with in Injustice 2.
