New Harley Quinn Series Announced

Rejoice, Harley Quinn fans! The villain is getting her own monthly series!

Seeing Harley Quinn using a monkey as a melee weapon in the pages of SUICIDE SQUAD or wearing a fake mustache in INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US is good fun, but DC says it's time to give the classic character more time in the spotlight. CBR has announced Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti are the people DC has selected for the job.

When asked about the series, the duo says they want to build on her background, her motivations, where she lives and her supporting cast. And when asked about the Joker, they state there's a lot of stuff that won't involve him, but he'll "always be looming in the background."

On a scale of one to "YESSSSSSSS," how excited are you about this announcement?

@dernman: Yeap, which is why I think he'll get an on going. Plus, IIRC, they're hard covering the back ups from the Justice League.

Great creative team, so I'm excited; however, am I the only one who thinks Harley looks like she's on a Roller Derby team on that cover?

I don't care about Harley Quinn at all, but Conner + Palmiotti's PG was fantastic. I'll try it out.

I'm not gonna lie, this new outfit still makes her look like a bimbo. Oh how I miss the Pre Flashpoint look of Harley Quinn...

Not only the pre flashpoint look of Harley. I miss the whole pre flashpoint DC universe. I don't like most of the New52 stuff. There are a few cool new characters but they could be easily introduced into the old universe as well. I really LOVED Harley, but the "new" Harley isn't really Harley...

Is she supposed to look more like Power Girl now because of the outfit? I guess that DC Comics mission is accomplished.

DC should do the same stuff like Marvel did. They have their mainstream comic books and the Ultimate Universe. Why can't there be the old mainstream universe (aka New Earth) and the New52 universe? Maybe I would like the New52 a whole lot better if I could get back the characters I used to love...

Why does DC come out with a series about a character I like and a great creative team when I am trying to cut back on the titles I pull.

Something is going to get dropped for this. Hopefully... Maybe not... Damn it...

Really looking forward to this, she has been a strong enough character to be on her own for some time, id like to see her keep the anti hero status from her previous comic. I know not everyone is a fan but Harley has been my favourite DC character for some time, she was the only reason i even picked up suicide squad and now, i finally get to read the story where she is the star.

My initial reaction was an exasperated groan, but looking at that creative team, this might be a great title

I agree, Harley has the making to be the "Deadpool" DC needs. A wacky title that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Of all the characters she gets one. Not even Martian Manhunter, Cyborg, Shazam, or Ray Palmer(he needs to come back as the Atom).

if this was pre-52 Harley i would be super excited, but I never got around to warming up to the current version. so I am more excited seeing Conner have fun with the character if anything

Sounds interesting, and I like the character, but was never a huge fan. I know a few people who are "huge" Harley fans, but sadly none of them read comics so they will be totally unaware of this nor care.

Good faint. This is my second-choice dream team for a HQ solo -- first pick being Tom Taylor and Ed Benes.

Is her being New 52 Harley not offputting though?

I don't know if Harley is a classic character just yet, but she is a highly important and interesting one. I'm very surprised it has taken this long for a series like this to happen. Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti are the perfect team for this book as well. Good work DC!
