Book Three:
(1) As much as I enjoy top-quality art featuring Batman and his top rogues, this book really shines best when it focuses on just Harley, and keeps the typical Batman elements at arm's length.
(2) We get the obligatory breakout that's part of every Harley origin. Expertly executed, but nothing new.
- Really, only the second issue was wholly original to this book.

Book Two:
(1) Yup... this is a romance novel. There's little doubt about that.
(2) This was an improvement over the first issue. Whereas I thought that one was a somewhat padded-out spin on the standard Harley origin, this issue was both intriguing and compelling as an original story.
(3) I like how this hints at a future Poison Ivy relationship, but isn't winking too hard.

Book One:
(1) I'm quite impressed by the quality of writing here. Specifically, the lucidity of the prose. The story itself is neither anything special nor anything that hasn't been retold many times previously.
(2) The narration reads just like a romance novel. Nothing wrong with that, just an observation.
(3) The art's a treat, but the plot's a lot of fat to chew through.

Notes:
(1) This is essentially a European-style comic album. Not merely in spirit and execution, but dimensionally as well.
- It's strange for a Western publisher to use European paper sizes when they don't have to. Though, I guess, if you're going to emulate the format, you may as well have it look the part.
(2) I'm not often a fan of digital art, but this looks fantastic.

Yeah probably because of that. And for this one I noticed because I've been wanting to read this one for a while!
Kadi wrote: "Yeah probably because of that. And for this one I noticed because I've been wanting to read this one for a while!"This actually surprised me how good it was. I think you'd like it. It's essentially the Harley origin story done like a romance novel. I knew the art was going to be great, I just didn't expect it to be so well-written. Right now, I'm on the fence between four and five stars.
The art looks amazing so to hear it's also not terrible is a great bonus! Maybe I'll get around to reading it in December or something!

This is definitely up your alley, Kadi. Everyone but Sam has really liked this.
At this point I feel like “Everyone but Sam” could be applied to quite a few comics😂 Sam my fellow hater👏🏻So many ringing endorsements for this, ok I’m definitely going to get round to it by the end of this month!
