Ratings and reviews

I have read the first couple volumes of this comic so far, and I have never enjoyed reading a comic as much as I have loved reading through these. Every issue is wonderful; the art and storytelling are absolutely magnificent. It is so much fun to read, and they truly have perfected who Harley is. Could not recommend any more highly!

Loved the particular art style and the many nods to other comic artists at the start. A great laugh that has enough twists and turns to make you start wondering if you have gone mad too.

At points it got pretty cliché and a little racist. I think the highest points are when Ivy and Harley are together, where you can see how strong Harley is rather than a ditzy sidekick. It's a bit sad after reading Suicide Squad and seeing how independent and smart she is in that, to go to this.
