Harley Quinn & the Gotham City Sirens Omnibus
by Paul Dini
This was a lot of fun. Like a lot of omnibus comics, it refers to continuities and events I'm not familair with, since I'm not following the current runs of Batman/Catwoman comics, however that was only a small irk in an otherwise very fun series. The Gotham City Sirens (Catwoman, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn) are living and working together, each trying to keep each other out of trouble, and mostly getting each other into it. There's an interesting interplay here between Catwoman's essential goodness - she's an anti-hero, but still a hero - Ivy's complete disregard for human life, and Harley's sweet but misguided joy. I like that both Pam and Selina are actively trying to undo the damage the Joker did to Harley's psyche, even if they are eventually, as ever, unsuccessful.
I really enjoyed this, and it was a lot of fun reading an entirely female cast of comic characters - it's like getting to see the other side of the Birds of Prey comics I used to love in my teenaged years.
