Classic Harley comedy, delightfully surprising cameos, and fourth wall murdering with malice of forethought. Who know where it goes from here.

No spoilers, but the action in this issue is obviously leading up to a bigger battle in the future. There are subtle references, followed my overt nods, and a classic villain curtain call. Plastic Man is giving us the classic 'detective comic' storyline, but to any seasoned comic book nerd, this issue is the thunder before the storm.

There are qualities of this comic that remind me of Lobo, or 2000 A.D., infused with the classic wrestling banter forged by Macho Man Randy Savage and Classy Freddie Blassie. 'Wrestletopia' has set the stage for a massive brawl that will make 'Thor: Ragnarok' look like a tea party. To put it simply, I am hooked.

Is it my favorite Harley story? No, but it is one of the best multi-issue arcs I have seen all year. Paul Dini's 'Harley Loves Joker' fell flat. Issues #43 & #44 lost it's steam before it was wrapped up. Simultaneously, Harley is caught up in a spat with the Joker in 'Batman: Prelude to the Wedding'. With all these plot lines, this new issue of Harley Quinn has got momentum to carry it forward, and beyond. Let's see where it goes from here.

I have the issue in front of my eyes and I am not sure what I just read.

Whatever vigilante shenanigans Mother Panic has planned, I am all in.

This issue is the perfect follow up and I am excited for the rest of the series.

Overall, this issue is the perfect combination of fun and serious, amusing and political and I really enjoyed it. I will definitely be looking out for the next issues…I need to know what happens!

Ultimately a murder mystery set in a steampunk city with problems with mechanical monsters. Can a comic get any cooler than that?

Overall, if you enjoy unusual and serious novels that reflect larger issues in society in general then this is a graphic novel that you will particularly enjoy.

At the end of the issue I was left with a burning desire to find out what was going to happen and exactly how the next set of events were going to unfold, the sign of a truly great comic.
