I would like to take a moment to blame a potential portion of my readership. If you have ever spent a dollar on one of Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Connor’s Harley Quinn comics, I’m blaming you for the atrocity that is Frank Tieri’s Harley Quinn Screws Up the DCU. Without the financial success of that…

I need you all to understand, Harley Quinn has had some of the worst, most offensive content ever produced for a DC comic book character. I’m experiencing some of that right now in my reviews for Harley Screws up the DCU. So, when a comic comes out, and it’s just sort of painfully average with…

Avoid this comic. No, I’m not going to beat around the bush with any witty introduction. You should not buy this comic. It is an abomination on every level. This comic is so unbelievably awful that dissecting every aspect that makes it bad would take forever. However, I will do my best to offer you…

Harley Quinn is in desperate need of reinvigoration as a character in comics. Her run by Stephanie Phillips and Riley Rossmo was one of her shortest yet, clocking in at under 30 issues. The other various titles DC keeps releasing for Harley haven’t been doing too well either. Will Tini Howard be the one to…

Deadpool Screws the - er, I mean Harley Screws Up the DCU is a strange book to be released right now. For one thing, it’s very similar in tone and style to the main Harley Quinn ongoing series, which is selling abysmally. For another thing, the very plot of the book is incredibly similar to the…

It’s been a while since I reviewed the main Harley Quinn book. I had basically become so weary and frustrated with criticizing the glaring problems with DC’s handling of the Harley Quinn character, only to see no positive change on the horizon. No one seemed to be discussing the book anymore either, which added to…

I’m alive. I’m still kicking. I’ve still got the fight left in me to finish out Stephanie Phillip’s Harley Quinn run. I’ve been getting the impression for a while that Phillip’s time on this book was coming to an end: it’s the way she hasn’t promoted it nearly as much and the way Harley’s been…

“If you expect disappointment then you can never be disappointed,” said Zendaya’s M. J. from Spider Man: No Way Home. It’s some pretty cynical advice, but it is advice I wish I had taken when beginning to read this book. I was looking forward to this anthology all year, literally. I was hyped when the…

This is it. The final issue of the weekly Harley Quinn arc. I have to say, after reading and critiquing six issues worth of Stephanie Phillips' Harley Quinn for an entire month, it feels like I should get a medal. It’s also worked up a lot of other emotions in me… but we’ll get to…

Today’s issue of Luke Fox begins with…oh wait, excuse me, let me restart. Ok, Today’s issue of Harley Quinn begins with Luke Fox running from the monster of his own creation. He has a lot of self-reflection on what has led him to this moment. It leads him to find an old, hidden lab of…

We begin the chapter with some more development on Luke Fox. Basically, he’s reminiscing on the horrors he’s seen come to earth and how he was first motivated to really try to stop them (especially with the Justice League gone). But in his attempt to do good, he might have made something even worse. This…

I’m not gonna lie, I had a hard time starting this review. The reason? In short, this book isn’t good enough to make me recommend it to anyone, but it’s really not bad enough for me to be upset with it. Well, that last part goes for everything except one very important element that I'll…

I want to start off this review by talking about something I haven’t mentioned before when discussing Harley Quinn on this website: sales. Back in the mid-2010s, the character’s comics were selling gangbusters. She’d oftentimes rank only below Batman in terms of the amount of units sent to comic book shops. A lot of people…
