Birds of Prey: Sirens of Justice #1

Birds of Prey: Sirens of Justice #1 comic reviewBirds of Prey: Sirens of Justice #1 offers a team-up between Harley Quinn, Black Canary, and Huntress when Harley brings information about a hospital lost in a sync hole and its connection to the local mob. The pairing of Harley with the Birds of Prey is obviously inspired by the recent film, but for the storyline of this comic DC turns to Gail Simone whose history with the characters is well-established (even if most of the Birds she usually writes don’t make an appearance here).

The issue offers some mystery and misdirection as Black Canary wants to trust Harley but rightfully deduces she’s not telling the whole truth about her interest in the case. Huntress is less inclined to give Ms. Quinn the benefit of the doubt. And when Poison Ivy shows up all hell breaks loose.

Harley Quinn - Being Harley Quinn television review

In a season that is all about discovering just who Harley Quinn (Kaley Cuoco) is after leaving the Joker, “Being Harley Quinn” gets the most literal as it takes the crew in Harley’s mind to find the cause of her inability to make decisions about who she is and what she wants. Unwilling to let the pervy Doctor Psycho (Tony Hale) enter their friend’s mind on his own, the entire crew heads inside Harley’s brain where they find plenty of Jokers, a young Frankie Muniz (Frankie Muniz), killer child Harleys, and a whole bunch of answers Harley wasn’t expecting.

Harley Quinn - Finding Mr. Right television review

Hoping to enhance her prestige in Gotham City, Harley Quinn (Kaley Cuoco) sets out to get herself a nemesis. Looking to take on Batman, a public altercation with Robin (Jacob Tremblay), also looking to set himself up with a nemesis of his own, lowers Harley’s stock in the villain community ever farther to the point where Lois Lane says she put the women’s supervillain movement back decades. Of course the Boy Wonder claiming that Harley is his new nemesis at every turn doesn’t help matters any.

Harley Quinn #72

Harley Quinn #72 comic reviewI believe in Booster Gold. Harley Quinn enlists the help of the greatest hero you’ve never heard of to look into why her best friend Alicia was murdered. While the pairing might seem a bit odd, it does invoke memories of of the character’s madcap antics in the Justice League International before DC’s various attempts to turn the character more serious, lose him in time, or wipe him out of existence completely.

The investigation takes them from the wrestling ring to a cult, uncovering a cache of Apokolips technology and a building project by the suspicious Jonathan Wittleson. Harley’s gut tells her Baby Face is behind the murder. While nobody but Harley could make sense out of the clues they find (making her conclusions dubious at best), the journey itself is worth it. Goldie Quinn indeed.

Harley Quinn - So You Need a Crew? television review

After being upstaged by the Joker (Alan Tudyk) and his henchmen, Harley Quinn (Kaley Cuoco) decides she needs a crew of her own. In an episode full of both subtle and overt references towards society’s treatment of women, “So You Need a Crew?” humorously features Harley’s struggles where henchmen are more likely to sign-up for the clueless Kite Man (Matt Oberg) than a woman in spandex and super-villain agencies are far less willing to help once they realize Harley no longer works with the Joker. The episode even features the example of the Queen of Fables (Wanda Sykes), the last female super-villain who attempted to break through the super-villain glass ceiling only to suffer a far worse fate than her male counterparts at the hands of the Justice League.
