The Quinn is dead! Long live the Quinn! I get killed in this one...for real! Dead. Deceased. Former. Late. Pushing up daisies. Somebody needs to solve my murder, and since I don't see Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot around, I guess that'll have to be me. Though, since I'm dead...there are certain hurdles to overcome. The Harley-est, wildest arc starts right here...get ready for murder, Multiversal mischief, and more guest appearances, with Stephanie Phillips and new Harley Quinn artist Matteo Lolli!
I love a new beginning and Harley Quinn #22 is giving readers just that. The game's afoot and I look forward to seeing all of the amazing art and story in store. It's time to sit back and enjoy being spoiled, ladies and gents. Read Full Review
A revenant Harley is a really clever idea. All too often, the dead are given a humorlessness. Harley has seen death. That cant be easy, but she wouldnt be Harley if she didnt come back from it with a clear sense of humor. Theres every indicator that shes going to be just as weird and whimsical having been through the Lazarus Pit. Phillips and company have their work cut out for them. This should be fun.

The story opens with Kevin Seeking out the League of Shadows in a cold and isolated location. He then makes a stunning request of Angel Breaker who reluctantly agrees. Afterwards, an incident in the Lazarus Pit yields unexpected results.72 hours in the past, Harley and Kevin bring a new friend home to Gotham. When Harley shows off her new living accommodations, deadly event occurs.The Story: Stephanie Phillips creates an exciting new story arc that builds upon the events in Harley Quinn: 2022 Annual #1. I love Kevin and Harleys friendship and this issue showed its many facets. I was also intrigued at the comedic edition of a new friend/pet that already perfectly fits into both the series and Harleys life. Now that Harley faces a horrifying new challenge, it will be interesting to see how her found family will shape the upcoming events.The artwork in this issue makes a slight return to the fanciful whimsy presented prior to the Task Force XX arc. The illustrations are colorful, but ther Read Full Review
With some new supporting players and a strong focus on the two main characters, this is looking like the best arc since the first. Read Full Review
Harley Quinn #22 begins a new arc with significantly improved art, good pacing, and the makings of an effective murder mystery. Fortunately, the flaws (Kevin's green hair, Harley's personality, and an alien?!?) are compensated for by some darn fine technical execution. Read Full Review
The "Who Killed Harley Quinn arc is off to an excellent start, and I'm especially happy with Lolli's artwork. Read Full Review
There are some elements to this book that remind me Stephanie Phillips does have talent as a writer, but those talents don't lie in writing a good Harley Quinn. It's sad how unreadable the character has become with no change. This is not character evolution, development, growth, or whatever you want to call it. It never was. Read Full Review
It's a lot and it's a mess. At this point, it feels like we're reading a caricature of a caricature and this issue is a prime example of it. And it's sad. Read Full Review
Harley Quinn is going in a whole new direction and I am very happy with this issue! I caught up on my reading with this series, I took a little time off because I was underwhelmed with the previous issues of Harley. The previous issues aren't as bad as many make it out to be, I got some genuine laughs from them, but I was left with feeling that Harley deserves more and she can be better. And this is certainly a good step forward for one of my favorite characters.
I must add that the new art is spot-on, beautiful, and lovely! The art on the previous issues were nice, mediocre at best, fit for a child's graphic novel. Harley should be grittier, with some light moments... The new look by Matteo Lolli is simply great and I pray that more
