An incredible issue by the creative team, that gets me excited for the next one. Read Full Review
With a blend of meaningful themes and fourth wall breaking humor, Harley Quinn #63 perfectly answers the question, "Who makes the clown laugh?" Read Full Review
Above all, Humphries and Schmidt handle a challenging subject with heroic looseness. Theyre so wildly open to comedy, tragedy and everything else that theyre able to integrate this issue with a larger plot arc in her own title while gracefully shoving the last couple of pages into the Year of the Villain with all the subtlety of a giant wooden mallet. It doesnt sound like it SHOULD work, but it sure as hell does. Harley is going through a lot right now, but shes in good hands. Read Full Review

The Year of the Villain tie-in this issue is hilariously meta, as Harley gets an offer from Luthor not in the title, but in the book within a book by Meredith Clatterbuck. Will this have any impact in the main book? We'll see, but this book's balancing act continues to impress. Read Full Review
Sam Humphries hits you with all the feels in Harley Quinn (2016-) #63. The issue combines nostalgia, humor, and a touch of sadness in Harley sized doses. Read Full Review
Otto Schmidt's art is really good. It has a fun, frenetic style in its panels that give the story a sense of movement and urgency. Read Full Review
'Harley Quinn #63' is an emotionally complicated story backed by powerful visuals, but it unfortunately loses sight of this narrative and becomes slightly disjointed as we near the end of the issue. Read Full Review
DC Comicshas called this the Year of the Villain, presumably offering the bad guys thespotlight for a while in a line-wide event. What that means for Harley " avillain with her own title " remains to be seen. Shes been going straight forthe past 60+ issues, but there are allusions to a possible return to a life ofcrime in the near future. Read Full Review
It's raw, it's genuine, and it hits you right in the gut. That's the story the book is hopefully getting back to. It's the story where the character shines the most. - Read Full Review
A solid issue that delivers on an emotional beat, this is an improvement on the Harley Quinn title which is trending in the right direction. Read Full Review
I don't recommend this comic. It's a narrative mess. It's all over the place. Yes, the art is really good and the scenes between Harley and her mom are heartfelt, but everything else just doesn't work for me. And the "Year of the Villain" tie-in is so bad that it kind of ruins the entire reading experience for me. So no. Unless you're Otto Schmidt's biggest fan and you cannot stop yourself, please don't waste your hard-earned money on this book. Read Full Review
We are presented with a surprisingly nice meditation on death and dying. Not necessarily a powerful one, seeing as it is Harley floating around Manga-world, but nice nonetheless. And then death effed up and realized he had to kill the video store and not her. "Oops!"
The pre-YotV bit where Harley went back to her mom and was talking while not getting a response actually made me think of when I did the same for my great uncle...but he was barely responsive.
Bittersweet memories.
But Sam Humphries is the Good Soldier, so he hijacked his own book for the good of the Year of the Villain. Sigh. I wonder where he was planning on taking it.
So the art was standard Harley Quinn. Which isn't bad. The arti more
At first I thought I'll give this issue just an empty rating, because it's not even worth writing anything about it. But then I decided to write it's not worth writing about, just to show how tired I am with the New-52 onwards Harley comics.
Kill me.
