I've given the Palmiotti/Connor take on the character a few chances now, and it just aggressively doesn't click for me. Harley Works in cartoon and live action, where the charisma of an actor can sell the 'wackiness', but on the page, it feels flat and forced to me. Also, while this is billed like a standalone book, it's more of a capper to the P/C run as a whole, so definitely not a great place to jump in.

Still, love the art and coloring. That alone makes the book at least somewhat interesting.
