Apr 27, 2021The variant cover for Harley Quinn #2, along with the complexity of her character, set to beautiful color by Derrick Chew, should catch your eye. Stay for the story and artwork, as it's 100% worth it. I'm looking forward to issue #3, Who's Afraid Of Hugo Strange? Read Full Review

AIPT - Chris Showalter
Apr 30, 2021Harley Quinn #2 is overflowing with excellent character exploration, wonderfully written dialogue, and gorgeous artwork. Additionally, Stephanie Phillips presents a conflict not far removed from our society. A large portion of this issue's success involves the use of Harley as the reader's voice and the exploration of Kevin's tragic backstory. However, none of this story would work as well without Riley Rossmo's wonderful artwork and Ivan Plascencia's beautiful colors. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Apr 27, 2021Harley Quinn #2 is building into a phenomenal buddy-comedy, but one that includes moments of deep sadness. Every one of the creators has made sure that all of the aspects of the comic match the personality that Harley exudes, from the diversity in moods to her whiplash-inducing changes of pace. Kenny is a perfect partner for her in this series as it gives Quinn a project, someone that she can help make better whilst she does the same for herself. Read Full Review

Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Apr 27, 2021This is a very talky issue, with only a few action scenes, and that makes it feel like we're sitting in on Harley's personal therapy session. While that's not necessarily a bad thing, it also makes it a little hard to gauge the overall direction of the run. Still, the talent on both the writing and art side here is very clear.

Graphic Policy - Brett
Apr 27, 2021Harley Quinn #2 is such a fantastic issue. It takes you on a ride and ranges of emotions. The fact I already love Kevin as a character and am cheering for him says everything. Sadly, I'm already attached so fully expect something terrible will happen. For now though, like Harley, I want him, and this comic, by my side. Read Full Review

Forces Of Geek - Lenny Schwartz
Apr 28, 2021The story is very enjoyable. The writer Stephanie Phillips knows her audience and does a good job of giving them what they want and just a little bit more as well. The art by Riley Rossmo is tops. His work only gets better and better and this is quite good. Read Full Review

The Super Powered Fancast - Timala Elliott
Apr 27, 2021Plascencia uses bold, brilliant color work to highlight the detailed drawings of Rossmo. It perfectly captures the wild and infectious spirit of Harley. The issue is fun, visually exciting and and very transportive. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Rob Stryczek
Apr 27, 2021I do enjoy this theme of taking accountability and how we see the two different types of it. Both Harley and Kevin come from a genuine place in wanting to atone for their past when the time is right. Strange, on the other hand, is willing to abuse someone in her own personal torture session. Phillips is able to set up dialogue to have Harley respond to show that she understands the mind very well and can see who is genuine in making up for their past crimes. Read Full Review

Apr 28, 2021With Stephanie Phillips behind the pen, Harley Quinn's voice is the most authentic and enjoyable that it has ever been and that's very obvious in Harley Quinn #2. Read Full Review

Batman-News - Brian Warshaw
Apr 28, 2021Harley Quinn #2 properly introduces us to the series' first villain, while taking us a little deeper with Harley's struggle to go legit. With a strong supporting character in Kevin, plenty of fun dialogue (and narration), and Rossmo's playfully creepy aesthetic, this book is a winner, and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills
May 01, 2021A solid, enjoyable second issue takes a little too much attention away from Harley Quinn right when I feel this comic needs to be building a better Harley foundation. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
Apr 27, 2021Harley Quinn #2 is loud, childish, unbelievable, and unlikable. Whatever hope for a smart, fun, interesting take on the character hinted at from the first issue is wholly absent here. Perhaps issue #3 can get back on track. Read Full Review

The Batman Universe - Daniel Goldberg
Apr 28, 2021I am curious as to why Simon Saint has positioned Strange in Gotham, and why Nakano is so ready to cede control to such a notorious rogue. Other than that, Harley Quinn #2 feels slow and small and quiet, which are not adjectives I would ever associate with Harley. I imagine things will pick up soon. Read Full Review

Really like the characterization of Harley Quinn, and is a much better issue compared to the first one.

Huh, didn't expect this one to be so controversial. I'm still enjoying it. Harley's characterization continues to not be annoying, and the story is actually somewhat interesting. Those are two major improvements over the previous runs that I have read.

A step up from the previous issue, in my opinion. It's still a bit difficult to get used to Rossmo's art, but I think it works well in certain places. The story, though, is pretty solid and compelling. I think Harley is written nicely here, and I appreciated the build for Kevin, as he's solidified as a new supporting character for this series going forward.

That was bad, like really BAD. Alright, so the mayor doesn't trust Batman but he trusts Hugo Strange, that's just stupid. During the first issue I didn't like the art but belived it was just a preference thing, now I can clearly say it isn't, it's just bad. The colours are also bad. The only good thing is the use of pannels.

Harley Quinn complaining about people getting second chances when she's the champion of people closing their eyes at her history is pretty stupid on the writer's part and just ignores years of storytelling so yeah, it's a 1.

Psycho Killers Unite as Civic Leaders for Gotham. Psycho Harley Quinn (DC "hero") vs. Psycho Hugo Strange (DC "reformer")... written by a romance novelist, who is enjoying writing "hero" characters in what is essentially now "horror comics." And of course, there is "reformed clown" Kevin, who feels troubled as he walks by a store that he burned down and might of killed someone. And that aspect, whether Kevin also killed someone, is quickly dropped. Why? Because it doesn't add to the story? (Oh so naive.) No, try, because killing is OK now. Just ask John Ridley's writing of Jace Fox over at The Next Batman. In fact, when you KILL some innocent, then YOU are the victim. (And that pretty much sums up the state of USA 2021.)
