funny thing is, this is standard Rossmo art! And the sales have been getting worse and worse, so that weekly schedule is probably to get some more issues out before the end of Dark Crisis and then cancel it.
They really tried to throw me in prison for somethin' I didn't do! I mean, this time I didn't do anything. In the past, I did things. Lots of things...But that's not the point. The point is, I'm innocent! It's a frame job, I tell ya! The only way out of this is to catch the real culprit, and for that I need Batwoman. Seriously, who doesn't need Batwoman? Skintight suit, mucho muscles, and that hair! Anyways, Batwoman's in this one, and we might finally reveal Verdict's true identity! Will the mystery be solved in time to save my good name? DUN DUN DUN!
Harley Quinn #15 is a superb issue filled with energy. This creative team is constantly making this comic one of the most soulful on the market. It brings characters to life in a way that makes them extremely captivating. Being framed for murder isnt a unique plot concept, but with this group of characters, it becomes individual. The team-up is golden and we are left with the feeling that this final page will be explosive for the relationships of the comic. And this is a book built on relationships. Read Full Review
I still find it surprising that a Harley Quinn title has become one of my favorite books. but Stephanie Phillips has managed to keep me coming back each month, eager to see what Harley's up to in each new issue. I have a special place in my heart for comics that are fun, and Phillips' Harley Quinn is definitely a hell of a lot of fun. Read Full Review
This issue uses a modern design that feels very youthful and dreamlike. I feel the artistic design perfectly encapsulates the mindset of Harley. Read Full Review
Phillips is doing a great job pulling from all areas of Harley's status quo here, creating a version that feels stronger and more serious than past ones even while keeping no small about of typical Harley zaniness. Read Full Review
Many questions remain as it feels like the arc of The Verdict is coming to a head. This issue gives us our first meeting with the main villain and Harley coming to terms with the masks she's been both forced to, and willingly, worn. I look forward to seeing where things are headed for those that are involved and what all this means for Harley and her friends. Read Full Review
Harley Quinn #15 takes the bold step of presenting a straightforward detective story starring Batwoman. Harley's rolling around on the floor spouting gibberish. Rossmo's art is Rossmo's art, and the story takes a few steps forward in a proper direction. However, the big surprise of this issue (Verdict's identity) is the least surprising thing of all.

The Verdict arc is rich and compelling, and I devoutly hope Batwoman sticks around for a few more issues. Read Full Review
Harley Quinn #15 is something of an unexpected entry in the series to date, but unfortunately it doesn't really work. Read Full Review
This entire book was just frustrating for me to read. All the elements I like about Stephanie Phillips' Harley seem to be missing. The comedy doesn't work, and the one time we are treated to any character depth for Harley, we are given a monologue that doesn't make sense. On top of that, the overall arc is as predictable as it comes. Come on, DC. I know you can do better for Harley. Read Full Review
CALLED IT! (Not that it was hard)
I dig the art, I dig the writing. There's still so much more room to grow but Harley Quinn is a SNAZZY of a series and Batwoman is like in my top 5 characters so it is always nice to see her.
Now I really want a fried quesadilla.
I put off reading each issue longer and longer. Finally got to this.
With his art, Rossmo seems to be daring DC to fire him or cancel the book, and he's probably just going to continue on this determined trajectory until it happens. It's like he's shaking his head with laughter that DC is still paying him for this, and laughing that anyone can tolerate looking at this. His work has always been eccentric, but it's been getting increasingly hideous and headache-inducing.
Batman-news gave it a 1.0, and I agree with every point the reviewer made.
Phillips ended this issue with another of her typical 9-page essays, this time a rambling dissertation about masks. So sick of the essays she ponderously delivers each more
Stephanie Phillips started out ok on this book, but it just sucks now! She tries to combine goofy Harley who keeps bringing up tired jokes with smart Harley narration and both fail miserably, especially when combined. Get Stephanie Phillips off this and every other DC book PLEASE!!! BTW, Phillips likes to wear the "You killed Comics" as a badge of honor, but you might also want to try writing some good ones in the mean time!!!!! Remember, sometimes people hate your work because it's just not very good!
