Harley Quinn: Convergence pt 2

Harley Quinn: Convergence pt 2


2015
"Rabbit Season"
Writer: Steve Pugh
Pencils: Phil Winslade



Where we last left off, Harley Quinn had been selected as Pre-Flashpoint Gotham City's champion, her boyfriend was assaulted, she was drugged by her friends and the battle was looming. 

This issue has a bit of time skipping, we start out in the battle where Harley has apparently killed on of Captain Carrot's team mates after he was sent to warn Cap that HQ was a demon. 



Harley Quinn meet him outside the Hall of Mirrors featuring the Joker's visage and introduces herself comically. Captain Carrot is an all around nice guy and tells Harley politely that he's not here to hurt her. Harley however, has several tricks and traps set to ensure her advantage on top of this. 


Sometimes they work, like her bluff about what super powers she has. Other times... not so much.

Along with the collective "uuurgh" of yet another DC wide 'event' there was also a "oooh!" from my side of the planet when I saw the promotional pages and ads featuring an original costume Harley Quinn getting into shenanigans that didn't involve poorly timed bathtub suicide jokes without context or constant fawning over Power Girl. 

Gosh darn, the new Hardly Quinn comics made me hate not just Hardly Quinn but also G-D Pee-gee! Graaaagh!!

*deep breath, sips whiskey*

H'okay. The point I was getting to was that this comic was my ever loving hope for a good Harley Quinn comic in a sea of new fifty-poop. 
Did we get said good comic? Well, one look at the Gotham City Sirens inspired cover and I was already happy but yes, the comic gets much better.
