Hero-clix Harley the Stripper, straight from LA....

My fellow collector called me up and said hey, there's a new Hero Clix Harley Quinn but she's in her new outfit. I said, what the hey, I'll have a look at it. So I looked at it. Turned away. Looked back. Nope, no mistaking it. They made her the lamest joint statue ever. Let's take a look.



This is the Harley Quinn Championship token thing. It looks like she's about to give some slob a lapdance. Here's what some of the previous team up tokens look like. 

Justice League Dark #39


The hijinks continue with the Justice League Dark. Zatanna and her constantly changing outfit. Constantine with his new TV show! ...Deadface! Nah, just kidding, he's pretty cool. Not sure why they're fighting some sort of inky shreddy charcoal lady, but I assume that's something they do to bond. 


Harley Quinn: Justice League United #9

So the madness continues with Justice League United #9.



I have to say, Supergirl's pose is pretty tame for a super heroine but still looks damn awkward. Also, J'onn is losing his mind, I don't even want to know what that weird baby tongue demon thing in the background is. Wait, what is that?! Kill it with fire! 


Biased as I am, the Harley Cover is a massive improvement on the original. The more serious the original the better the tongue in cheek cover works. Speaking of working, how much better does the pure black look on her eyes?

Thaaaat's right, no more Valentines, just Harley Quinn. Why? I don't know, she sells? She sells like hotcakes so people - like me - may just go out and get these covers and inadvertently buy some crappy comic I have no interest in. Screw you, DC!!

Anyway, here's Justice League #39

DC Event: Convergence!



Snootchie Boo....whaaaa?

This was my initial reaction face when I heard that DC was planning yet another tedious event. I mean, They haven't even finished the other event that no one seems to care for yet!
(In case you're wondering, I'm talking about Future's End - the comic sensation that gave us Horrendous Hulk Harley and Hilarious Honeymoon Harley in the same breath.)

My emotions are all from the eyebrow, baby.

New Suicide Squad #4


Writer: Sean Ryan
Artist: Jeremy Roberts
Publisher: DC Comics
Release Date: November 12, 2014
Cover Price: $2.99

Outgunned and out of time, this could be the end for Harley, Deadshot and The Jokers Daughter as they struggle to survive in Russia against Deathstroke!





Another month, another hour of this long ass mission for the Suicide Squad. To be honest, I only put that synopsis up above because I don't even remember what happened in the last issue unless that was the one with the really awkward fight scene between the two token catfighters I mean, two villainesses in the group. 

Anyway, Deadshot's having verbal fun with Deathstroke, probably about death or shooting one imagines. Black Manta and Harley Quinn leap to his aid - leap being the operative word here. 
If you're reading this now, you've probably got a fair idea of what I think about the art work in these books.

Harley Quinn: Jim Lee Bust Review

So today I received my pre-ordered Harley Quinn New 52 Jim Lee Bust.

.........That's a stupidly long stupid name. Let's call it, the 52HQ.

Anyway, a few things jumped out at me. Such as, even though this is Jim Lee's own stupid design for the character formerly known as Harley Quinn, it's still a different design from the original New 52 sketch or even the comics. I really don't grasp why they can't just stick with one design. So here we are with the annoying blue and red colour scheme...and what is that?

The base is half red half blue, makes sense, given her colour scheme here... but half is smooth and half looks like a useless kid's finger painting exercise? Machine error, physical representation of Harley's state of mind, who knows?

This is the generic picture for the bust
