first of all they used the phrase "walking, talking sushi" to describe an Asian person. aside from that the writing was so disjointed it was hard to even follow at times, especially in the first couple issues. a couple side characters looked really similar to main ones so I got confused a couple times and that definitely took away from the cohesiveness again. I definitely prefer the ones by Karl Kesel

None of the story lines felt that cohesive to me. I did like Amanda, but this wasn't my favorite interpretation of Harley. I also just felt like the writing was a bit disjointed at times and it was hard to get immersed in the story.

basically she’s accused of murder, tries to date a cop, then keeps a kid safe. just felt like she was missing her usual psycho personality

I like the art and writing for the first half of these issues way more than the latter half, the latter artist/story was just messy and kind of hard to follow. They tried to get real edgelord about some of the storylines too and it's just-- Harley is already a really intense character with a really intense backstory, you don't really have to add more ~edge!~
But this is a collection, too, so it makes sense that the stories are kind of jumbled together. Shrug
I hope the Harley Quinn movie they eventually make has zero screentime for the joker.

It was just.....not great. It seemed like a step back, a disjointed, stumbling step back in terms of narrative and character. The point about Harley is that she's chaotic, but has her own kinda twisted sense of logic and morality. This Harley had none of that. Maybe they got too caught up in Dr Seabourne? She breaks all the taboo's, she goes looking for trouble, and she somehow takes on major bad guys and corporations and comes out the other side. There's an essence of Don Quixote about her. This was just..,,not great

The ending is a little wonky for me but I thoroughly enjoyed this!

This is such an interesting take on Harley. It's easier to see her as a woman that used to be a psychologist instead of just the Joker's girlfriend or a sociopath. Honestly, she's not sociopathic in this book at all. She makes an awful decision at the end of this book but she struggles with it. I'm not trying to justify it at all but it's worth noting that she didn't make the choice easily.

The relationship between her and the cop was interesting. Loved the Ivy mentions. I wish I could've seen them together.

I didn't enjoy the last Harley book I read but I love this one.
