FROM GOODREADS: Harley Quinn's crazy world on has gotten even more crazier when an unexpected, contagious enemy comes to town! Protecting her neighborhood just got a little harder, good thing they have chainsaws!
MY THOUGHTS: Ever since watching Suicide Squad and loving it (take that critics!) I've been wanting to learn more about Harley Quinn. She's always been one of my favorite characters, but as time goes on, I love her more and more. I'm pretty clueless about the DC Comics order and originals vs. New 52 vs. Rebirth (I'm lucky I even know THAT), but this Rebirth issue was tons of fun and I can't wait for more. The artwork is colorful and so much fun and the story lines are action-packed and interesting. In the first few issues, Harley and her ragtag group of friends are battling zombies in the most inventive ways. Now these aren't your normal zombies either. They were created when an alien came to work and ended up being ground up as beef along with some cattle which then caused th epidemic. Harley then becomes lead in a punk rock band so she can determine who is stealing things from her Coney Island neighborhood and who killed her favorite mailman.
The new Harley has a heart. Now she is still wild and zany but she also has a caring side, which I always got when watching Harley anyway. She is a real animal lover (score another point for her in my book) and seems to go out of her way to help her friends. And since Harley has gotten away from Arkham, she is now working with the police to bring down criminals rather than being the hunted.
If you love DC Comics or just Harley in general, and want a great story along with some awesome artwork, pick this up!
