POP! Culture Harley Quinn

Harley Quinn merchandising glee - after long last, there will be a Funko POP! Vinyl Harley Quinn... thing. Yay!

Especially good news for me as they should be fairly inexpensive compared to the other Harley Quinn goodies coming out, but you never know.

Suicide Squad #20




Y'know, I used to review these all the time before it became way too hard - it's a whole new level trying to type something when your arms keep getting thrown up in the air and my typist left because she thought I was swearing at her when I read this stuff. However, now there's a new brain-head doing the series I thought I'd give it another go. 

The cover art here shows some wannabe flesh, a sad little skeleton still holding on to the freaking grenade. There are times in life where it pays to drop the ball. Or pear shaped object with a pin. 
Around Skeletor is little photos of the Squad, in case we forget who they are. For a 'secret' team, there sure is a lot of this photo stuff going on. That's a problem for another day. Me? I can't get past Hardly Quinn's ugly piggy nose and the fact that Deadshot looks like a scrapped plan for a robot in a third rate sci fi show.

Harley Quinn - Suicide Wardrobe

Alright, so I've had a few comments about my hate for the new 52 Hardly Quinn - her outfit in particular - the people want to know why. Well you know, apart from the obvious.

It's not the fact that she's changed, things change, it's the nature of the world. I've already been through my problem with Harley Quinn being changed for every single new medium she's in so I'm not going to elaborate on this point any further for the time being.

                                              

Fans of the classic Harley Quinn and her awesome yet appropriate costume will remember the official introduction of Harley to the mainstream DCU by way of Batman: Harley Quinn (Mad Love).
The now iconic painting of the romantic yet deadly tango of Harley and her beau the Joker sums up the story in one page, but if you keep reading you'll witness Harley Quinn trying out costumes on her way to rescue the Joker.
