Cool, her age is a good explanation of her childishness, silliness and stupidity, which annoys me beyond belief in her regulr comics since the new-52 failure of a reboot, where she was stripped from any depth, personality and emotional baggage she had when Paul Dini was writng her. The comic follows a young, elseworld Harleen who moved to Gotham for a year, because her mom got a job at a cruising ship.

Capital 'B.A.D', but not without some merits h ere and there. well, let's say it's as compelling as average beauty contestant's wish to 'make, like, the world, totally a better place, y'know'. It sure looks beautiful, Steve Pugh outdid himself in this book, but when you look closer, and actually read it. Seems like a weird way to start a review, but stay with me, because that's exactly how I feel about Tamaki's take on Harley. You know the thing about all those beauty contests and typical Fox News segments? They're packed with beautiful women, who may look breathtaking at first glance, but the moment they open their mouths, it's clear as day their IQs are smaller than their waist sizes, otherwise they wouldn't be where they are. In turning her anger into action, she is faced with two choices: join activist Ivy, who's campaigning to make the neighborhood a better place to live, or team up with her anarchist friend Joker, who plans to take down Gotham one corporation at a time.įrom Eisner Award and Caldecott Honor-winning author Mariko Tamaki (This One Summer) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Steve Pugh comes a coming-of-age story about choices, consequences, and how a weird kid from Gotham goes about defining her world for herself. But when Mama's drag cabaret becomes the next victim in the wave of gentrification that's taking over the neighborhood, Harley's fortune takes another turn.

And when Gotham's finest drag queen, Mama, takes her in, it seems like Harley has finally found a place to grow into her most 'true true' with new best friend Ivy at Gotham High. She's not worried, though-she's battled a lot of hard situations as a kid, and knows her determination and outspokenness will carry her through life in the most dangerous city in the world. With just five dollars and a knapsack to her name, 15-year-old Harleen Quinzel is sent to live in Gotham City.
