DESCRIPTION:
With her tight-knit Coney Island crew and her gal-pal Poison Ivy by her side, things are looking up for the mistress of mirth and mayhem. This time around, the Joker’s promising to show her a kinder, gentler side of himself—the stuff that made her fall for him in the first place, back when she was his shrink and he was her most dangerous patient. That’s right, folks: the Clown Prince of Crime has come crawling (and killing!) back into Harley’s life. Exploding from the blockbuster DC Universe Rebirth event from the best-selling creative team of Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti and John Timms comes HARLEY QUINN VOL. Can Harley trust her ex? (Please!) Will she ditch it all to join him in his war on sanity? (Again!) One thing’s for sure: if the Joker betrays her again, this time puddin’ will go SPLAT! Comics’ craziest couple reunites (or do they?) in HARLEY QUINN VOL. From nudist colonies to roller-derby rinks, she’s livin’ the good life. But the joke’s on her. 2: JOKER LOVES HARLEY.It ain’t easy being the world’s most psychotic psychiatrist, but hey, Harley Quinn just might pull it off. 2: JOKE

James H said Too Silly?. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe I've just gained a more mature taste for comic stories over the years, but this is the first time I've read through a volume of Harley Quinn and just went, "wow that was all pretty pointless." Instead of playing into Harley's strength as an Independent and skilled wildcard, Conner and Palmiotti continue with just absurd stories. The opening story of Harley and Ivy taking a vacation to figure things out sounds like a great story to explore, but is muddled by a Nudist Colony gag (of which is seemingly just for a gag of "seeing" retirees in the buff as of course everything conveniently cove. ARC REVIEW Ohh the feels Story: Harley is having some issues, she has been dreaming really weird dreams and a friend suggests taking a vacation. So Harley and Poison Ivy take off to the Bahamas for a week but after a week Harley doesn’t feel any better she kind of feels worse because Ivy is still picking her cause over Harley not to mention the weird things Harley has been getting in the mail that are supposedly coming from the Joker. Wanting to vent her frustrations Harley goes back to the Roller Derby. Once there she learns someone who she previously wiped the rink with, Big Bertha, is back and out for vengeance and is in the process of k. The next 3-issues tell thestory of the title arc which is easy to figure out and almost boring watching Harley behave This takes Harley in such a completely different direction than the other current DC Rebirth titles that it doesn't even feel as if it belongs. This was just pure silliness! After a specific episode in Suicide Squad Vol. 2 where Harley's insanity is measured against her own sanity, this flighty, ditzy Harley is pure nonsense. Two one-off stories start the trade, the first being gaggingly evironmentally pc with Poison Ivy. Both these stories plant a seed about the upcoming Joker arc. The next 3-issues tell thestory of the title arc which is easy to figure out and almost boring watching Harley behave in this sane but silly
“It's silly, it's funny, it's irreverent.”—Comic Book Resources "Every bit as chaotic and unabashedly fun as one would expect.”—IGN “Harley Quinn is a pure joy as a self-referential comedic anti-villain, and an antidote to the far too serious superhero operas that it shares its universe with.”—Newsarama
