It's a nice little romance, and I hope it goes somewhere, because I never really bought into Harley's romance with her last boyfriend. When Conner and Palmiotti slow things down and focus on the characters over the zaniness, like they did all throughout this issue, it really drives home why this book is so good. Read Full Review

Conner and Palmiotti pull a dirty trick on the reader and make a throwaway, parody goofball like Red Tool into a likable character with whom we can empathize. There are some new developments at the police department that spell a new status quo for Harley Quinn, but she is able to take it in stride due to her very high-cut booty shorts. They allow her to stride, you see? Get maximum extension of her legs? Ah, jokes are lost on you. The art is great, which you've already guessed if you read Harley Quinn. So pick it up if the mention of "booty shorts" is enticing to you. Read Full Review

Harley Quinn has often struggled to regain its footing in the past year, but this latest arc, while brief, has helped to put things back on track. The amusing dynamic between Harley and her new admirer is a big part of this, but it's also a matter of the series slowing down just enough to find its focus again. Read Full Review

I was slightly disappointed by the previous installment of HQ because I thought that Red Tool's feelings for Harley kind of came out of nowhere. Since that was already established last time I was able to orient myself into the plot and really enjoyed it. As I said above, I liked seeing Red Tool's affection for Harley. Her response to his overtures was predictably wary but then she began to warm up to him. The relationship arc was very satisfying, I hope we see more of Red Tool in issues to come. Read Full Review

I'm still wondering what to make of the final page. One thing is for certain: the scatapult is primed and aimed squarely at a giant fan. Expect it to deploy in kind next month. Read Full Review
