Review:
I have read almost all of the issues that make up this
compilation and have them in my collection, but I jumped at the chance to
review Harley Quinn Volume 2 for all the extras. I missed getting the Harley
Quinn Invades San Diego Comic Con issue and had not read the Secret Origins
Harley Quinn issue and as with all compilations I love seeing all the variant
covers that they include. So fun!
I love everything about Harley Quinn and I love the New 52
series they are doing with her, but this set of comics is the compilation of
the Harley Quinn/Power Girl duo and I didn’t LOVE them together. I love Harley
as her bad a** self – avenging herself, the furry babies, the ones she loves
etc., not as a super hero… I don’t really know why but HQ as a hero – seems off
to me.
Don’t get me wrong; I still thought that these issues were
great! Still LOL funny, sarcastic, over the top, and Harley always getting into
trouble, and those are the things I enjoy.
What I liked most about this volume was the extras, they
included issues #9-13, but also Harley Quinn: Future’s End #1, Harley Invades
San Diego Comic Con, and Secret Origins, plus variant cover art.
Secret Origins was an interesting look into Harley’s past
complete with family issues, career changes and her love for the one and only
Mr. J. My favorite piece was the Comic Con issue, Harley at her very best.
Harley invades Comic Con – as herself, obviously, but comes into contact with
the HQ fans dressed to impress, all of the Mr. Js, and she is just trying to
get her comic reviewed without getting kicked out of the show. As per Harley
Quinn’s normal showing, this is not an easy tasks and the events that unfold
while she is at the show are hilarious and wonderful.
Overall, I really enjoyed this compilation and love the New
52 Harley Quinn series.
Dude, that cover is awesome!
