When last we checked in with Harley Quinn, she ate, she banged, and she killed-but now it's time for something a little different. Fresh out of the events of Harley Quinn: The Animated Series season 3, Harley has found herself a part of a highly unlikely team-the Bat-Family! Meanwhile, Poison Ivy has found herself prepping for her new job-leader of the Legion of Doom! But while Harley and Ivy adjust to their respective new roles, a ghost from Ivy's past enters the fray and threatens the relationship between everyone's favorite clown/plant couple!

    I'll start this review by saying the primary reason I'm reading this series is because it'll end up tying-in with Howard's Catwoman series, which we saw hints of here towards the end. As for the issue itself, I thought it was solid. This could be partially attributed to the fact that I'm not that into Punchline as a character to start with, but I wasn't as into this as I would have hoped, considering that I've enjoyed the aforementioned Catwoman run. I think the story here has potential and, while it does intrigue me, I think this just needs more compelling characters. Either way, I'll still read all six issues since it has to do with Howard's Catwoman.
