So since everyone hated Harleys villains month origin and the origin in the pages of Suicide Squad they decide third times a charm? At least Amanda and Jimmy are doing it this time.
I don't find that very comforting. But, hey, they'll at least probably do a better job than Glass and Kindt did with the origin.
DC should really just put Tom Taylor on Harley Quinn. He is the only writer who has nailed Harley's character perfectly since the start of the New 52. And it wasn't even in the main continuity. If any current writer at DC can clean up the mess that is Harley, it will be Taylor.
I do not know so far I have liked the Harley Quinn solo book. They write her more like Dini did lots of lighthearted stuff mixed in with the chaotic. Compared to the crap we were given with Glass and Kindt where both writers had no idea how to write Harley or who she is as a character. Jimmy and Amanda have a grasp of that better then anyone so far in the new 52.
I have never read Injustice but I have read some of his Earth 2 which left a lot to be desired. What has Taylor done with Harley that you have liked so much?
Palimotti and Conner have definitely done a better job with Harley than did anyone else in the New 52. And her solo series, from the first three issues that I read, was plenty fun. But I still don't feel like I'm reading a Harley Quinn series when I read it. It's not necessarily the writers' fault; they've been forced to use this flawed, Jokerized version of Harley Quinn that Glass created. But even so, I can't help but shake my head in disappointment whenever I read Harley's current series.
I recommend checking out Taylor's take on Harley if you get the chance and were a fan of Harley Pre-Flashpoint. He's got a nice mix of fun and capable, providing what is, in my opinion, the best depiction of Harley since Dini.
If you're interested, there are a few scans from some of Taylor's work here, along with a bit of my personal commentary on Harley:
