Harley Quinn Invades Comic-Con International: San Diego #1 by Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner
tartbarbie's review against another edition
5.0
I was stuck in a reading funk and decided to give a comic a shot. Little did I know I would become a huge fan of Harley Quinn that I have been devouring all her comics. I love the art and the stories paint her in a light I never expected. I have enjoyed every installment so far and looking forward to reading them all. Highly recommend she's quickly become my favorite DC character.

I actually dropped Harley's series because I found it to be just too boring, slightly patronizing,and just plain uninspired.
However, i picked up this special because I was certain that Harley visiting San Diego Comic Con would be full of meta-entertainment, I was not disappointed.
This comic is very reliant on in-jokes, tongue-in-cheek comedy and probably other types of hyphenated humor.
There are cosplay jokes, industry cameos(some very random), and a few jabs at 'the other guy'. Unfortunately, I also felt like they took more than a few jabs at their fans as well which left me scratching my head. I'm glad they didn't go the pandering route...
...but I'm not sure why they would bite the hand that feeds them. They depicted fans as stupid, clueless, and annoying. I enjoyed Harley's comic Hurl Girl but also saw it as a bit of a slap in the face, these stupid fans that think they'll become comic book artists and writers always begging to be discovered, how pathetic, bitter much? Hey jerks, if it weren't for us who would be buying your comics!?
How about a little appreciation that our hard earn dollars allow you to live out your dream.
The saving grace was having Harley meet [a:Paul Dini|61935|Paul Dini|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1294337447p2/61935.jpg] and [a:Bruce Timm|190063|Bruce Timm|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1372197537p2/190063.jpg], her creators, it kind of made my day and left me feeling more positive about the comic despite its many faults.
