Some thoughts about Harley Quinn #0

The Clown Princess of Crime is back on her first ongoing.

If you had a comic book series focusing on your life who would you choose to draw it? That's something that Harley will have to find in the hilariously meta issue.

Do I really need to mention how wonderfully insane this issue was? I had forgotten that Amanda Conner was a pretty competent writer aside from being a fantastic artist as shwon in works like Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre. The way how she and Jimmy Palmiotti insert themselves as the voices on Harley's head was a pretty fun decision and helped to move the story in this crazy, fourth wall breaking experience reminiscing a lot of John Byrne's Sensational She-Hulk (a great compliment) where of course the real stars are the artists.

And man what artists, this was a special issue where a lot of famous pecillers were able to draw a page. Amanda Conner drew a few scenes and they're gorgeous while also commenting on how much she likes to draw boobs. Becky Cloonan made Harley Quinn a murderous rockstar while Tony Daniel turned her into a giant robot, Stephane Roux gives her a bit of boycandy, Dan Panosian goes retro with her and Walter Simonson gos ninja, Jim Lee shows with an old altered page from Hush and Bruce Timm appears with play on Mad Love, Adam Hughes jokes about his innability to keep an schedule while Darwyn Cooke does a wonderful page featuring Jimmy and Amanda on their wedding while making fun of the sales of Batwing and All Star Western, etc.

I would be all day talking about the artists but it would be better if you see them yourselves. What I can comment though is that the last pages featuring penciller Chad Hardin, the future ongoing artist, are pretty good, much better than his work on Demon Knights thankfully. He's a nice addition.

As I said, wondefully insane issue. Although it's a shame that it seems like they're not going to keep breaking the fourth wall in the future
