While on a tropical vacation, Harley Quinn is kidnapped by two Female Furies from Apokolips-and they're making her an offer she can't refuse: join the Furies, get super powers and do anything she wants! It's a sweet deal, and all Harley has to do in return is hunt down rogue Fury Petite Tina. The bad news: Petite Tina is anything but petite! Hope that hammer got an upgrade, Harley.
As the newest pillar of the DC Universe, Harley deserves the creative attention Humphries and Timms bring to the series. More than just cute pin up pictures and collectibles, Harley has a wholesome demeanor that can bring in readers of all tastes, as long as the work continues to speak for itself. Whether its the love of Harley Quinn or Jack Kirby, the adorable main cover or the stunningly gorgeous Frank Cho Variant cover, or the debut of Sam Humphries promising run with Harley, this issue has something for everyone.

Bursting with Harley's signature charm and humor, this is the best book of the week hands down! Read Full Review
Harley Quinn works best as a character when she's allowed to simply be herself, and Harley Quinn #45 massively delivers on that front. Read Full Review
An incredibly fun issue that serves as a good jumping on point! Read Full Review

A huge return to form for the Harley title and a great new approach by Sam Humphries and John Timms! One of my favorite issues of Harley in a while! Read Full Review
The issue as a whole is brilliantly written, perfectly drawn, expertly colored and doesnt waste an inch of any panel with erroneous information, fluff, or unnecessary silliness. Everything flows into each other so perfectly that they were to have ended the comic a page before they did it would have been a complete story but Im not at all mad that they left us with a little something to look forward to. Even the last page is perfect and pulls us further into the story. Humphries and his art crew do a great job at keeping the reader engaged and making sure that even without words you know this is a Harley story and a good one at that. Read Full Review
This is the most I've enjoyed Harley's title in a while, and I'm glad Humphries is on for the long haul. Read Full Review
Overall, Harley Quinn #45 was an enjoyable issue. The new creative team pulled together a compelling story without limiting all the fun and fury Harley's character has to offer. Read Full Review
Overall, this is a fantastic issue. The story is definitely one that I look forward to reading more. I'm curious to find out what Humprhies has planned for Quinn on the chaotic, fiery world of Apokolips. Read Full Review
This issue certainly warrants a read. The idea of Harley Quinn wreaking her own special brand of havoc on Apokolips is definitely intriguing, and I'm looking forward to what the next issues will hold. Read Full Review
Harley is on Apokolips, and she's fartin' up the fire pits! OK, not really...this is a pretty funny issue that should tickle fans of Jack Kirby's Fourth World especially. Others may be turned off by these Bronze Age trappings, but that's their problem. This definitely feels more like the familiar Harley Quinn of a few months ago. Read Full Review
This book may just be setup so far, but it's a fun setup, and I highly appreciate that Humphries is putting his own spin on the series. Read Full Review
Ive always wondered how non-powered characters (Harley, Batman, Green Arrow) manage to traverse the lethal terrain of Apokolips. But again, its comic books. Some things are better left alone. But Harleys vacation isnt over yet, so theres more to come. Read Full Review
The bad: Harley Quinn's characterization remains the more obnoxious one we have come to hate and she is extremely annoying in this issue.
The good: The concept of Harley becoming a Fury and anything involving Apokolips for fans of New Gods like myself. It is strange but I like the story and hate the character (since Palmiotti)
Even though I long ago learned Harley's comics offer nothing but cute variant covers by Frank Cho, for some unknown reason I keep wasting my time and money on them. And speaking of covers, this one sure doesn't lie - it is not the 1st issue. It's more of the same, to the point there's barely any difference between creative teams that worked on the series since New 52. Palmiotti, Conner, Tieri, Sebala and now Humphries commit the same mistakes and rely on exactly the same awful gimmicks depraving Harley of any depth and creativity she's got during her Dini/Timm days, and what Sean Murphy understood perfectly in Batman: The White Knight.
Annoying, oversued accent? Check. Very little jokes that land? Check. General lack of any development more
Why did I let you convince me to read this?
