 Harley Quinn 1 - Hot in the City

  This is a spoiler re-cap/review! I do not own these characters, they are owned by DC Comics. I am here to provide Comic noobs and anyone else with re-caps and reviews of comics from DC's New 52. Go out and by these books so people like me have something like this to do!

   As promised here is my Harley Quinn review of the first issue that just came out this past week and.............Harley is a Hotty! An evil, twisted, but still cute and loveable villain / occasional anti hero. I love how DC's artists portray these female characters nowadays, they are always hot! And that i can not be mad at (I hope I'm not chastised for this lol). She was never one of my favorites, but when i saw this on DC's release schedule the cover left me anticipating its release, and this past Wednesday i rushed to my Comic Shop to pick it up.

  It starts out with Harley on the move with all her belongings hilariously stacked up and tied to her bike, with her rodent pal tied to the front of the bike. On the first page she refers to Mr J, the joker as her past flame, i always thought she was too good for him anyway! Shes on the way to claim an apartment / commercial business building that was left to her in an associate of hers will.

  This was my absolute favorite part of this comic. Harley sees some typical a-hole walking down the street on his phone, dragging his dog behind him, the dog and Harley connect eyes and she sees how sad he is, they have a moment and Harley starts to tear up. She takes her whip out, and whips him around his neck. In the next panel you see the dog all happy on the front of her bike as his previous owner is being dragged behind them!

  Some guy on a bike is tailing them, he has a wanted poster with Harley's face on it, with a reward. He shoots at her but misses and ends up crashing. She takes her over sized Quinn Mallet and knocks the guys head off! She arrives at her new building which is on Coney island, the perfect place for someone like her. She meets a few of the tenants, who all seem to be in the circus or some kind of freak show business. She is greeted by a businessman, or lawyer, who shows her around the building, and gives her the 411 on all the money she owes because she is the new owner. Harley can't believe all this is hers. I love how she seems so grateful, Joker never truly appreciated her, you can tell she never truly felt loved or had anything to really call her own like this.

  Harley lines up some interviews so she can pay her bills and get by. She puts on some make up, gets all dolled up and goes to her first interview for a position as a therapist. Then shes heads to her second interview at a roller derby rink! She cleans up the competition and beats the crap out of everyone and gets the job. She heads home and is resting on her roof top in a bikini, with all her pale beauty all out there. Someone else tries to assassinate her, but a stocky little gentlemen she met earlier saves her live. Then she finds the wanted poster and realizes someone has a hit on her.

  The art is beautifully done, its play full but still can be taken seriously. Harley is hot, i cant sat that enough!!!!

  My verdict is that i loved this issue Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti are giving me the Harley Quinn that i want to read. She is twisted,cute,insane and lovable all in one. She is still a crazy psychopath who wont hesitate to kill if she needs to. But they do it so that you forget at times how crazy she is, but not for too long, soon enough she will be making someone pay for their wrong doing. They make you fall in love with Harley in a way that i never have before. They made me really care about her, i want to see her triumph in the end, from now on i will be routing for her no matter who she is up against. I can't wait for next month. BUY BUY BUY!
