Harleen #3 (of 3): Even the Darkest Night Must End…
Harleen #3
Harleen #3 (Sejic, Downie) is the ultimate cautionary tale of DC’s most tragic couple. Is this the story that the character truly needed to be told right now? That’s for the reader to decide. However, if we are going to retrace the traumatic and toxic origins of Harley and Joker’s relationship, I believe this is the way to do it.

Legion of Super-Heroes #2: Talking Heads
Legion of Super-Heroes #2
Legion of Super-Heroes #2 (Bendis, Sook, von Grawbadger, Bellaire) is one of the most breath-takingly gorgeous books on the stands today – but is the story beneath more than just paper-thin filler?

Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy #4: Weird Plant Magic. Gotcha.
Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy #4
Overall, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy #4 is a good, not great continuation in the mini-series. It has plenty of fan service but not quite enough depth of plot to carry the story forward in a meaningful way.
