Nuke it from orbit...is what we shoulda done to this whole entire moon. Who needs a moon anyway? I blame Luke Fox for sending a team of villains into space to fight a horrific alien monster in the first place. Obviously, that was just never going to work out well. Has Luke ever seen a sci-fi movie? And now you're expectin' me to save Earth with just my super-awesome-mallet-ofalien-skull-crashing-madness ? Okay, you asked for it...
Harley Quinn #21 brings the space horror back to Earth and continues to impress. The book is lively and atmospheric, with some excellent characters thrown up against a terrifying monster. Read Full Review
The penultimate chapter of the Task Force XX storyline and the last to take place in the main book, this installment continues the strengths of the past chapters. Read Full Review
The Team's newly geared and ready for the Annual after this issue and, as with all this month's DC books, we get a very touching dedication to Tim Sale, 1956-2022. What awaits us in the Harley Quinn Annual? Guess we will have to wait and see! Read Full Review
Harley Quinn #21 delivers some good action, a couple laughs and a closer look into Luke Foxs character. The story will be continued in an annual, and the team is all together for a final confrontation with the big bad, which hopefully will keep the momentum of this issue rolling into a great finale.

Harley Quinn #21 turns the title in the right direction with a story that forces Luke Fox to confront the mistakes of the past and take up a direction for the future as an alien threat looms large. Ironically, this issue works best if you accept Harley is a side character in a serviceable Task Force X story starring Luke Fox, and maybe that's for the best. Read Full Review
Harley's character development is really astonishing, even framed within a story and a setting that is not the strongest. Read Full Review
The result is a slightly bloated issue that is just okay and generally pretty disappointing. Read Full Review
Phew! Reviewing this book has been quite an undertaking. It's like I have to give myself a harsh examination to remember what happened in each issue. This entire arc is really about Luke Fox, even though his story feels underdeveloped. It continues to show a lack of interest and understanding for its titular protagonist, even with some half-baked attempts to finally allow Harley to influence the story. Read Full Review
With everything at WB getting cancelled, the person who greenlit this book (which was selling poorly) to be weekly should get fired ASAP! Please, things have to change at DC and while Stephanie Phillips isn't the worst writer on the current roster, she might be in the bottom 5.
