Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, a.k.a. Harlivy, a.k.a. the DCU’s most favoritest couple. They’re inseparable, right? Right? Well, maybe not. While Ivy focuses on prepping for her new job with the Legion of Doom and Harley dives mallet-first into her role as a member of the Bat-Family, the DCU’s most favoritest couple find themselves stretched thin. But are they at their breaking point?
While Ivy has her own secrets, Harley's no innocent. I'm looking forward to seeing how this all plays out. Read Full Review
This series continues to be a pretty dense one as there are a lot of things going on in each issue, a lot of dialogue, and a lot of panels. It works well because there is so much happening and that it feels like the show without it trying to be active in the same way. Franklin definitely gets that it's two different mediums and rules and is using the comic side to its advantage to tell its own story but also complement the show. It again looks great with Mikel stepping in for the artwork here and delivers something delightful within the larger Harley framework. Read Full Review
Harley Quinn The Animated Series: Legion of Bats #3 is another fun issue of the series, with some great plotlines for Poison Ivy and Harley, and some great action. Harleys new Bat-themed identity is hilarious and theres a great setup for next issue. Read Full Review
One of the best parts about this series is the way Tee Franklin is pulling in some real deep cuts from DC history. Not only does this issue include the Gardener, Ivy's ex from college, but it brings in the obscure-but-likable Gail Simone non-binary hero Porcelain. Read Full Review
Harley Quinn: The Animated Series: Legion of Bats! #3 is unfortunately a step down from previous issues in the series, both in writing and art. The plot feels directionless and the art style has lost the stylistic liveliness that used to tie the comic to its TV counterpart. There are entertaining segments of the story, but it's all so disconnected that it's difficult to form a coherent vision of the whole. It's not terrible, but it's not especially good either; it just feels like it's there. Read Full Review
