With her beloved show on the chopping block following a corporate takeover, Elvira needs to come up with a plan to get things back in the black — and her new friend Harley Quinn has an idea that’s just crazy enough to work! Together, they’re g more
This first issue is a lot of fun and really sets the tone for what will inevitably be a super entertaining series. Amanda Conner & Jimmy Palmiotti really capture the essence of both main characters well having a ton of fun in the process. In a world of writers who try and make characters overly serious, this fun take is a breath of fresh air. The ridiculous premise really opens up the possibilities of where this story will go. The sexual based humor is funny and never feels cringy or in bad taste. Read Full Review
Harley Quinn X Elvira is every bit as dark and delightfully inappropriate as one would expect and/or hope. The script captures both characters perfectly, as does the artwork. This comic is the perfect kick-off to spooky season. Read Full Review
A fun opening issue that looks to make for one of the more unique and entertaining inter-company crossovers that we've had in some time. Read Full Review
Harley Quinn X Elvira #1 is exactly what you should expect from this creative team and pairing: a chaotic, rubbery, and incredibly fun joyride. It's a ridiculous, colorful start to what promises to be one of the wackiest crossovers of the year. Read Full Review
Theoretically, the series could've gone in more of a serious direction with some very clever comedy around the edges of everything. That might've been a little bit more satisfying. As it is, it's a very rubbery and strangely enjoyable trip between two covers with two very iconic characters that seem perfectly paired together. It's kind of too bad that they didn't go for something with a little bit more gravity to it. The characters have enough background that they could theoretically support something with a little bit more depth. It's too bad that they didn't want to embrace that. Read Full Review
HARLEY QUINN X ELVIRA #1 is less "world's finest tricksters and more "world's loudest train wreck. The art delivers punch after punch, but the plot throws Harley's character under every passing bus, even the ones Elvira tried to avoid. If you love cringe-worthy misfires and want to see Harley Quinn at her absolute worst, saddle up. Otherwise, let Elvira's bidet have the last word. It's a cleaner escape than this issue offers Read Full Review
Plot
Harley Quinn has a nightmare that leads her to realize she has a lingering frustration: last year she got sick and missed Halloween, but now she wants to make up for it by celebrating it in August with Elvira as the host.
Elvira, on the other hand, has just had her show canceled because her channel was bought by a corporation with different objectives. Harley helps Elvira send a very aggressive message to the new owner of Elvira's station.
This crossover is a masterpiece. Both characters are hilarious, breaking the fourth wall; their free spirit and lack of filter provide fantastic dialogue. It's undoubtedly an exciting story that will make you laugh constantly.
