Harley Quinn #72 puts the series on a serious upswing. This newly reformed, trying to do good, not sure how, drinking Jack Daniels for breakfast Harley Quinn is so fun. Sam Humphries is an excellent writer and has a knack for writing women who are believable. Not all men can do it and when they swing and miss, it is epic. Sam was great with Jessica Cruz and it was his writing that made her my favorite Green Lantern. He could just turn Harley into my favorite Anit-Hero. Read Full Review

Abel has a beautiful style and that style is manifested in the art of this issue. Not only do the characters look great, but the cartoon-esque visuals enhance the story and the emotional undertones brilliantly. Read Full Review

Grief is all over this issue, as Harley's lost several people important to her in a very short period. That leads to a surprising sequence of events as the issue closes out, and I'm genuinely worried for Harley for the first time in a while. Read Full Review

This issue is the last before we get the “The Truth” in both issue title and in conclusion. It will be nice to see the conclusion and justice gotten for Harley Quinn's friend. Til next month readers, I leave you with my rating for Harley Quinn #72. Read Full Review

Humphries has achieved an iconic status with this run on Harley Quinn, and this arc shows that there are emotional ramifications that can continue to be explored long after this series, but Harley Quinn #72 also shows that the story isn't nearly completed yet. There might be some new developments for fans to come to terms with, but it's an enjoyable issue and on par with the quality we've come to expect from this team. Read Full Review

At this point, we've seen Harley work her way out of the worst situations with a smile on her face, but Humphries does a good job of never letting readers forget the stakes. She may act invincible, but is that actually just a death wish? Those hard-hitting revelations balanced out with the hilarity of Harley riding Booster's back while he flies are a true example of what makes Harley Quinn books, tv shows, and movies so much fun to experience. I mean, there's a reason this book is on issue #72. Read Full Review

Although Booster exits stage left at the end of the issue, the comic more than hints at the possibility of a romantic relationship between a pair of screw-ups who are more heroic than most are willing to admit. Could this be just the beginning of Goldie Quinn? Read Full Review

Harley Quinn #72 marks for another amusing chapter in the series. If you’re in need of a pick-me-up then you’ll want to be sure to drop in on this issue. Read Full Review

Behind its murder mystery facade, 'Harley Quinn' #72 is an excellent character study centered on grief. Read Full Review

This issue of Harley Quinn feels a little like the last one, but still manages to be quite a bit of fun. Humphries focuses once again on grief and trauma, and how that impacts a person, and he does it through showing us Harley's often questionable decisions through the issue. He balances this with Booster Gold who adds humor and a level head that Harley needs right now, and works as a great partner as they continue their investigation. All in all, it's an entertaining read that's also full of heart. Read Full Review

Despite a slight downgrade in art, Harleys neon-noir adventure in LA continues to be a very enjoyable romp! Read Full Review

While I like some of what Sam Humphries is doing with Harley, this murder mystery still lacks the setup and details to make me care to see it through to the end.  I doubt many readers gasped when the suspect in Alicia's murder switched from one guy we know little about to another we know even less, and why is that?  I understand that Harley is the type of character you can roll through an issue and enjoy the zany moments, but Sam Humphries wants to do more, but without a solid story, he fails here.

Harley's adventure in California continues. Any real potential for Harley exploring life in the wake of everything that's happened seems as distant as ever when it really SHOULD be closer to the center of the story. The jerkiness of the pacing could be a bit more charming, but Humphries and company don't even necessarily manage that much in another issue that is just beyond the reach of being good. The story isn't finished yet, though. Judging from the state of things at issue's end, there's one more issue that could bring recent events into sharp focus if Humphries can manage it.
