i love harley quinn 🤗

Not a perfect intro into the world of superheroes, but close enough. I must admit, she had me hooked after a few chapters. With her mad ways and her extremely (somehow) sexy appearance.
Would be to intrigued to run away from.

I don't really know what I expected, but this was more campy than I was hoping. Perhaps that's just the way of comics. Or, maybe that's just the way of well known super hero and villain comics. I don't have much else to say at the moment. Mostly picked this because I'm trying to reach my book goal for the year.
fast-paced

Yes, yes, I know - I've gone backward on the Harley Quinn timeline. (Can you cut a girl some slack? I didn't stumble across a list of all of the comics until recently) And while I can understand wanting to keep things in order, going into the development of a character is actually really interesting. Mr. Kesel laid down the groundwork for Harley's independence and the first breakdown of her relationship with the Joker. It's a little difficult to read at times - both as a stalwart fan and a female - but I genuinely feel the artistic team handled the storyline well. After all, this comic series predates the Rebirth revolution. We're talking 2007 when females in the comic universe didn't get the proper standing they deserved. Harley holds her own in a clearly male-dominated world, and comparing her with the Rebirth series is astounding. The lines and character remain grounded and true, which I love. And seeing her come out on top of everyone that underestimates her? You have to cheer and get invested in the plot. It's the perfect introduction for this iconic character (you know, aside from the misogynistic slant to things).

Pensaba que iba a odiar a muerte estos cómics pero finalmente me ha parecido una compilación bastante entretenida.

Mucho culo en pompa, mucha tontería, creo que podrían sacar al personaje muchísimo más partido, pero se notaba bastante ironía en ciertos temas que he disfrutado bastante.
