The newest DC anthology continues in this second issue featuring strong contrasts thanks to its subject: Harley Quinn. Harley battles everyone from Jim Gordon, to the Superpets, and even her own origin stories in this installment. Black + White + Redder continues to bring chaos to the DC Universe while serving as its fourth pillar of the publishing line.

Harley Quinn: Black + White + Redder #2
In this issue, Kelly Thompson makes her DC debut, collaborating with superstar Annie Wu on a tale of Harley’s attempts to escape her own origin story—with some begrudging magical help from Zatanna! Fan favorites Ro Stein & Ted Brandt throw Harley and her Legion of Doominals into the high-stakes Gotham Pet Show to go paw-to-paw with the beloved League of Super-Pets! And ROGUE SUN writer Ryan Parrott joins with Russ Manning Award-Winner Luana Vecchio to serve up a story of Jim Gordon and Harley sharing a diner booth, but what brought these two here is more complicated than you’d think!
