Harley Quinn: Black + White + Red #2 is a lighthearted and beautifully executed issue putting Harley on the runway to capture a side of the character we just don't see often enough! Read Full Review

After only two issues, Harley Quinn: Black + White + Red is a huge success. It's not only a great format for unique and creative voices, but a bargain at under a dollar. Read this for Andolfo's incredible art, sense of humor, and above all else a charmingly over-the-top take on Harley Quinn. Read Full Review

This is going to be the issue to beat when it comes to the rest of the run here, which is a lot of pressure on a lot of great creative talents. Mirka Andolfo has brought out one of my favorite Harley stories in comic form here in a long time as I've been pretty over the character for an age. But everything clicks wonderfully here with the dynamic action, the fantastic designs and costuming, and the excellent use of color. It hits every mark wonderfully and left me thrilled and a little exhausted in a great way by the end as it was such a ride. Definitely a great issue and definitely a great Harley story from top to bottom. Read Full Review

Harley Quinn: Black + White + Red #2 is a fun second chapter that's so removed and different than the debut of this series. It highlights that Harley Quinn's depictions and stories can be so varied. She's a character like the best of actors that can do drama and comedy with a flip of the switch. It also shows how much each creator brings to the story and drives how we see the character. Fans of Harley Quinn should be happy with this chapter and it's also a solid standalone story for those who want to discover more about her. Read Full Review

Harley Quinn: Black, White, and Red #2 delivers a fun, stylish, and somewhat bizarre fashion fueled tale I thoroughly enjoyed. The lead ladies are balanced against each other wonderfully. With the huge shift in tone between issues one and two, I'm left extremely curious about what the next piece of this series will bring us. But, whatever it may be, I'm definitely looking forward to it. Read Full Review

Fifty-Fifty...Where's Harvey Dent when you need to make a decision like this? Light Harley or Serious Harley. Either way you can't go too wrong as there seems to be a Harley for everyone! Read Full Review

I adore her as an artist, and the story is SO fun!

Art: 8/10
Story: 2/10 (Perhaps, it is written for a younger audience.)
Verdict: 5/10

Harley doesn't lack talented artists to illustrate her comics. Whether we're talking Bruce Timm, Inaki Miranda, Sean Murphy, Stjepan Sejic, Amanda Conner, Sami Basri or Steve Pugh, each has their own unique style that's instantly recognizable and one of a kind. Mirka Andolfo is another artist worth praising, bringing manga sensibilities to western comics. That is the comic's strength.

As far as writing goes, though... yikes. Andolfo certainly did not show she can craft a compelling story here, nor even one that would be "just" entertaining. It tries to be funny, like Paul Dini's short stories featuring Harley from back in the day, but it really feels like it was made by an Instagram obsessed teen for other Instagram obsessed teens. Even more so than Sam Humphries' social media story arc in Harley's regular ongoing series... which let me tell you, was capital BAD. more

As an artist, Mirka Andolfo never disappoints, but this story didn't convince me her writing can live up to it.

I was not into this. I know it is its own thing but I feel like even the concept is bad.
