    We'll See

    I give every new title three issues before I make the decision whether to pull or not to pull. "Picky Sicky" left me on the fence. As a satirical story removed from continuity, I enjoyed Harley's well-written quest to find a new artist (that she's not looking for a new writer seems appropriate for a character, who, since becoming part of the New 52, has appealed to superficial desires). It was fun. However, I also felt a little bit of dread. Is this metafictional erosion of the fourth wall, a la Deadpool and She-Hulk, going to be the direction for her new book? I hope not. I want original--not derivative--Harley stories. This story paid homage to Harley's evolution from Batman: The Animated Series to the present, which gave me a new appreciation for the New 52 version, nonetheless, corset-wearing turboslut Harley is still there, and this book has miles to go to scourge that image from my mind and re-establish Harley as the true "Clown Princess of Crime." Two more issues. Two more before I make the decision to fully commit to this book as a fan. This book IS moving fast, so to make that informed decision for yourself, I'd recommend grabbing a copy as soon as you can.

    No, I don`t think it will be. After all, the writers promised, right? Writers always keep their promises, right? So, I guess that "we`ll see", is a pretty fitting sentence to use.

    Maybe you shoulda wrote more to this review. But then again, if one goes looking for reviews from other sites b`sides CV, there`s no need for you to do so. But anyhow, a good one.

      A Crazy Good Time with the Artists of DC 0

      This comic was a lot of fun. Harley Quinn begins the issue talking to her beaver about what it would be like if she had a comic and who could help do it. Soon the writer of the comic talks to her and Harley begins trying on artists. The comic has her cause mischief in 17 different artists style including Jim Lee, Darwyn Cooke, and of course Bruce Timm. Im really glad they brought in Harley's co-creator to do a page of art in the comic. I really liked this comic, but I have to rate it lower becau...
