CALLING ALL SICKOS--THIS ONE IS FOR YOU! I've been holding in all my very worst bits of bubble guts for the last 32 years, and it's all been leading up to this epic expulsion! Your nose will never be the same! You'll gag, you'll cry, you'll feel things you ain't never felt before! This fine publication is a celebration of all things passed, pre-scent, and toot-ure. Sequential art's place in the annals of history is about to change with the release of the Harley Quinn Fartacular: Silent Butt Deadly, a comic that promises to have the highest concentration of gas per page (GPP) ever committed to print. Emphasis on committed, because everyone who more

    Don't be such a square: 'The Fartacular' is meant to be dumb and weird but it also has heaps of lessons and insights to offer. Read Full Review

    Brandt & Stein's art is delightfully cartoony (in a fart comic) and the comic has a few good messages about respecting boundaries (in a fart comic). I'm sure this book is for someone, but it's very much not for me, although the last few pages did have a reveal that was pretty amusing. But overall, this is a book that went "Let's tell a double-length story about Harley maybe having a fart fetish and played that out to the stinky end. I don't even know what to make of that, but happy April Fool's Day, I guess. Read Full Review

    Harley Quinn Fartacular: Silent Butt Deadly is an unsettling mixture of childish humor and fetishistic sexual innuendo, seemingly only meant to appeal to those who truly love every experience relating to farting. For the small subset of fans out there who fall under that category, I assume they'll be very happy. For everyone else, it is a deeply uncomfortable experience. Read Full Review

    It's fine. Pretty funny in places, has some heart and emotional honesty in other places. It's not my thing, but I get what they were going for with it.

    In an industry that's still publishing Mark Millar and Garth Ennis with barely any editorial oversight, putting out something that's funny-gross instead of just gross is a win in my book.

    Maybe y'all need to grasp that not everything is for you.

    April Fools book or not, there is no reason to give Joanne Starer another job. Wait, was that the joke DC? Ah, I get it now. Still not funny. Very few books deserve a 1 rating but if this garbage doesn't then I don't know what does.

    Worst thing DC has put out in recent times. Really it can only be up from here thankfully.

    DC needs to start firing people. ASAP. I know people would be mad, but the fact that this comic was pitched, approved, written, drawn, approved again, printed, approved AGAIN and published is enough to think that some people have a job they should not have.
