Harley Quinn

My favorite DC girl has the adventure of a lifetime in Harley Quinn and The Birds of Prey 1-4 by Amanda Connor and Jimmy Palmiotti. The very queer and vibrant four book series catapults Harley and The Birds of Prey into the spotlight, providing a sequel to their beloved series Harley Quinn and Harley Quinn and her Gang of Harleys.  The arc is comical and refreshing and we get to see another side of Harley that provides depth for her character. While the Joker is still present in the book, he is not the focal point and is rightfully seen as the piece of trash many Harley fans have come to view him as. The Gang of Harleys, the Birds of Prey, Power Girl, Red Tool and Poison Ivy all help amplify the brilliance and complexity of Harley Quinn’s life. I am forever grateful for this series. Not just because she is a relatable Gemini Jewish girl who can’t tell her butthole from a hole in the ground – but because she is resilient and misunderstood.
