    As a massive Paul Dini fan I was very excited about the new Gotham Sirens stories and so far I am not dissapointed. I was a little nervous about Guillem March doing the art as I have not in the past been a huge fan of his work. I am a bit of a fan girl with Paul Dini and can be a tad... firm about no one else potraying the gotham girls as well as he does.   The covers are a little deceiving, I find the art work on the actual frames a lot better than some of the covers, the Covers can be a tad to sexualised for me but its art so i go with it. Granted Poison Ivy does use her sexuality to attract. I was suprised at how much I liked his stuff and admit to being a happy convert, but i have heard others grumble about the look saying it does not suit them.

    What are your thoughts? do you like the look for the girls? are you happy with their choice of artist and writer team?  are the covers too sexualised? I have no problem with it but do others? Are we looking at a great new team up between Guillem and Paul?   

    Also can anyone tell me if Paul Dini and Guillem March have worked together before?

    yes, theyve been teamed up many times, Harley and Ivy have been as much a team as Harley and Joker since the start. 
    theyve been a staple of Dini's stories, and were the stars of Gotham Girls.
     
    Bruce Timm concieved much of Harley Quinn, and the Ivy duo art, and is a strongly sexual person. they are also meant to represent
    a Diva duo. so yes, its sexual. as to " too sexualised " i wouldnt know the defintion, or what it means specifically to you, but does it matter?

    I think most women in comics are too sexualised with the disproportionate T&A.  So when it comes to a trio of gorgeous gals like the GC Sirens then you just have to go with the flow.  So if they do have to have skin-tight outfits and ridiculous physiques, at least they can be beautifully drawn.  By the way, the cover they've just solicited with Poison Ivy is absolutely beautiful...

    oh my apologies if my first post was not clear, im aware the gotham girls have teamed up before. 
     
    I was asking about the writer and the artist 
     
    as for the sexuality, it was not my main concern, just a thought process.

    @The Hottness: Love the 7th panel on the DDR joke :) 
     
    And yeah, the covers are stunning... the internal art is good, but nowhere near as gorgeous as those covers!!  Still good though :)

    Awesome pencils by Guillem March, really a joy to behold. Especially on Harley, her quizzical/playful expressions are amazing!

    Very good series! At first I was a bit disapointed with Guilem March's art,but it's starting to grow on me. Paul Dini's writing,excellent as always. Also a huge fanboy of Dini's.

    I think it's gone way down hill since the artist switch.  I can scan a panel for you where Harley's ears are attached to her jowls.  I first noticed the change in the issue where Harley went home to see her family- her open mouth looked like her jawbone had been dislocated.  My first thought was, "Dear God, Harley!  Did you let Mr. J knock you in the face with a swordfish again?  You can't take any more 4 story falls!"  The piece de resistance has to be the opening shot of Ivy when she is applying for a job position.  It really looked like Rob Liefeld was giving pointers.
     
    EDIT
    I can't make this post sound too mean.  After all, I do think the story is well written and I love each character.  The covers are still splendid.

    The artist switch has definitely impacted the comic as a whole. The story's great, the characters are still fantastic and the cover art is glorious, but this last issue Ivy especially just didn't look right.
