As for the Harley Quinn verse part; I've said this before, but am happy to repeat it. Do yourselves a favor, and dive into this series. Katana and the team have shown nothing but love for these characters, and given us new facets of Harley that she highly deserves. The Mother, The Lover, The Doctor, The Villain… and The Hero.

I knew this day would come eventually, that being the day I would have to say goodbye to this exceptional series that quite honestly took me by surprise. That said, that love of the series all meant that my expectations were rather high, which is why it's wonderful to say that Batman: White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn easily surpassed those expectations and brought this delightful series to a satisfying close.

Sean Murphy's universe needs to expand to beyond the Bat Family. His reduction in characters make for a stronger detective storyline that is both a throwback to the pulp novels, but also a treasure of Easter Eggs from storylines gone by. Soon instead of the Snyder Cut, we will ask for a Murphyverse treatment of a Batman movie! Read Full Review
Overall, Batman: White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn was a home run of a series. Collins told both a great suspenseful crime story and changed the way we view a beloved character. Hopefully Collins will get more opportunities to write not just Harley Quinn, but other DC characters, as well. Read Full Review
Scalera does a great job with the art in this issue. The visuals are crisp, clean and filled with energy. There are beautiful details throughout and the style works for the tone of the story and its characters. Read Full Review
Katana Collins and Matteo Scalera provide a fitting finale to this miniseries. Sharp design, strong character work, tragic narrative turns, and a satisfying conclusion are beautifully rendered in gorgeous art and storytelling. Read Full Review
It's a decent tie-up to Harley's story, but the universe as a whole feels like it barely scratched the surface and I don't know if it'll stay there. Read Full Review
Bits and Pieces:Batman: White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn #6 finishes off a unique detective drama with alternate takes on familiar characters but doesn't quite stick the landing. The art is great, and the action works, but the number of dangling threads detracts from the conclusion. Read Full Review
I wouldn't call it ending with a labored gurgle, or even a whimper, but White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn hardly ended with a bang either. The series overall definitely suffered from having a bloated midsection that became a slog to get through, trotting out its whodunnit reveal way too early, and many flashbacks that felt more obligatory than necessary or impactful " but some bona fide stakes set up in issue #5 and (mostly) paid off this issue made White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn #6 one of the better issues in the series. Maybe in a few years when my memory of the series is good and fuzzy, I'll go back and read the collected series. Who knows, I might even like it. Read Full Review

This is perhaps by favorite version of Harley Quinn to date. I was never a HQ fan, and have always dropped interest with her after the reboot with HQ in 2011. However, this HQ, its very refreshing to see a HQ who is more serious and driven than the loosey goosey HQ we currently have. This Harley Quinn deals with a Harleen who has kids to look after, a history to get past, and a case where she has to use her skills to fight noir-film themed villains.
The story itself is pretty solid, but what stands head and shoulders above basically every other HQ title is the character of HQ herself. She isn't annoying, she has nuance that intrigues me, and how Collins and Murphy build this HQ from who she was to who she became was fascinating. more
Imagine how good this could be if Sean Gordon Murphy had nothing to do with it.
This was so bad I had to put it down four times and fight sleep while reading it. Harley Quinn needs to stop having solo books. Put a fork in her, she's overdone.
The ending was terrible, Harley partnering with Bruce to this level is just weird. All the White Knight characters have gotten on my nerves so much I never want to read another White Knight book again. And the main villain, she just would not shut up! I am so glad this is over. No more. Please. I can do without hearing Harley's voice in my head for a long time. This was oversaturation at it's finest.
