Some thoughts about Detective Comics #23.2: Harley Quinn

What's inside Harley Quinn's mind?

Harleen Quinzel was forced to follow orders since her childhood and always tried to escape from the rules of society, suddenly she finds herself in a world of madness after interacting with the Arkham Asylum's inmates, especially the Joker who will give her what she always wanted, freedom.

Matt Kindt continues his work on the Suicide Squad's characters before taking the reins of the main title and just like with Deadshot in last week, Kindt understands what makes a character special but also adds some extra layers to make it much more complex.

For the first time since her introduction there's a reason for Harley to become the maniac she is now besides being obsessed with the Joker. She actually always was interested in chaos, she always wanted to do whatever she wanted without caring about anyone, even some of her last work in this demonstrates that she doesn't truly care about her ex-boyfriend, it has always been about herself.

Art duties come from Neil Googe's part whos has a really attractive and cartoony style which fits perfectly in this story, it's a shame he's not the one doing the art on the upcoming Harley Quinn ongoing.

One of the best issues from this week, really excited about Kindt's work on Suicide Squad.

  1. One of the worst comics I have ever read. New 52 once again cripples a fan favorite character for no reason and with Lobo ruined to there is none left.

    1. I dunno, I really liked this one because it showed Harley as a more independent character by distancing herself more from the Joker.
