One small step for the Gotham villains, one giant leap for clown-kind! That's right...this fashionably vocal clown is headed to space. Turns out there's some old experiment left in the JLA moon base, and Luke Fox has put together a team of former villains to help clean up the mess. Sendin' a buncha villains to the moon...? What could go right? Join me, Killer Frost, Bronze Tiger, Solomon Grundy, and more as we learn to moonwalk and put the X in Task Force XX!

But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Aug 02, 2022Harley Quinn #18 is a new start on many levels. The new art team carries that same soul that this book so proudly kept, with energy and enthusiasm constantly adding a smile to the face. But the story is massively changed, taking Harley out of her world and sending her to something different. The exposition is heavy, but it does give both Phillips and Harley a brand new and exciting adventure with a team full of chaos. Read Full Review

The Comicbook Dispatch - kcscribbles
Aug 02, 2022Harley Quinn #18 sets up a grand adventure to come, but the issue fumbles in handling the supporting characters and throwing in a long fight scene when one wasnt necessary.The prolonged battle would look great in a film, but here, it just comes off looking like a way to pad the issue.

Aug 08, 2022Harley Quinn #18 doesn't disappoint with the artwork and the cover selections, but we'll have to see if there's any turbulence now that we've achieved take off, or if we will be left adrift in orbit. Read Full Review

Batman-News - Theresa Campagna
Aug 02, 2022While the artist change-up for Stephanie Phillips' run of Harley Quinn probably won't save the series at this point, it does make the book a lot more palatable than before. I still think it was a bad choice to make this book go monthly though, since I don't think it has the clout or substance behind it to handle that. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
Aug 03, 2022Harley Quinn #18 jettisons (almost) everything from the previous seventeen issues in favor of an ill-explained and odd mission to send Harley to the moon to destroy an unstable, alien element. Changing the art over from Rossmo to Duarte is a step in the right direction, but the kookiness, lack of setup, and explanation to go with the nonsensical plot are too much for any artist to overcome.

Aug 03, 2022It's not the weakest book in this current Harley run, but it's just very, very mid. Read Full Review

To Ebonyc: You know you can think about racism without being racist. If just thinking about a black person drives you to bigotry, you may well be the type of people the writer of this comic is talking about.

It doesn't work, it doesn't even make any sense.

"It's easy to shoot Joker in the face, what's harder is to shoot down racism and homophobya." Yeah, basically the message is "screw your beloved characters, we're invading the comic medium with issues from 1970's". This is 2022. People don't need to be told racism is bad. Racism against black people is at an all time low, yet now we're complaining the most. Constantly telling people not to be racist has the exact opposite effect though. Remember the line from Inception? "If I tell you NOT to think about elephant, what do you think about?". At least the art is more pleasant.
