Goodreads Synopsis:

Harley was certain she could have it all: She could be the world’s best landlord, protect Coney Island from the scum of the Earth, woo Mason Macabre, work her day job as a psychiatrist, volunteer at the puppy shelter…but that’s a whole lot of spinning plates, and eventually they’re bound to start breaking! What happens when a psychopath cracks up? Is it possible for Harley to go even more insane?! 

 Review: 

In this issue, Harley is juggling all of her activities - landlord, roller derby, her pets, and being a psychiatrist; only she can't keep up with it all and she is going loopy- well more so than normal. Harley gets a visit from Ivy and she tries to help her work out the problem... but really this comic showcases a lot of random kickas$$ girls, which by the time you get to the end of the comic it is finally made clear - Harley needs a squad of minion to help her with all of her activities... what could go wrong? I really enjoyed these showcases of the other women and their problems and what brings them to Harley's doorstep.

Goodreads Synopsis:

Not a dream! Not a hoax! Not a...whattaya call it? An imaginary story! This is where everything changes for Harley Quinn for more than forever! Introducing…The Gang of Harleys!

 Review:
In Issue $16 Harley starts interviewing for the esteemed positions in her merry bad of crazy women. She is trying to get back on track by hiring a posse of Harley-comparable ladies to help her in all of her exploits. 


I love Harley and am glad to see her get a bit human in this issue - too many things, all the stress... granted her problem-solving is a bit off but it was funny nevertheless. This issue had a number of laugh-out-loud moments including but not limited to the plug for Harley's new official clothesline at Hot Topic. I am interseted in seeing what Harley makes her squad do next.
