Even if you’ve never followed their original four-year run, chances are you’re familiar with her version of Harley that has graced the shelves of comic book shops as one of DC’s most popular books. Much of this is helped by Conner’s signature art style that has become nearly iconic for modern day Harley Quinn. However, Conner and Palmiotti manage to keep Harley’s exposition not only succinct but also engaging as well. And for fans of the original run by Conner and Palmiotti, this issue may simply be a rehash of where the creative team left off. The rest of the issue follows Harley as she takes responsibility and attempts to make amends with the friends she’s hurt.Īs I said before, this issue is mostly focused on filling in new readers on Harley’s current status quo and spends more time with her Gang of Harleys than the actual Birds of Prey, which may be a disappointment for readers expecting to see the latter. Oh, and Harley and Ivy are no longer on speaking terms due to Harley’s shenanigans. From this, new readers learn that Harley now lives on Coney Island in New York, owns a hotel named The Dreamin’ Seaman, is late on mortgage payments for said hotel, and has a Gang of Harleys. However, it is the smell of toe cheese that wakes her up from this fantasy as we see an uncharacteristically downtrodden Harley who recounts her current predicament to her friend Power Girl. Within the first few pages, we’re dropped in on Harley at her lowest as she dreams of her and Poison Ivy vacationing together on a tropical island with Superman at their command, begrudgingly serving inappropriately named alcoholic drinks to them. Thankfully, the duo pulls this off successfully, providing a great entry point for new readers and a welcome return for longtime fans. In this first issue, both writers are tasked with filling in new readers on Harley’s current status in the DC Universe, a responsibility that is about as gargantuan a task as that mouthful of a film title. Writers: Amanda Conner and Jimmy PalmiottiĬover Artists: Amanda Conner and Alex Sinclairįollowing the release of Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn) comes Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey #1 written by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti.
