Harley is feeling a bit depressed due to her own nature as a villain and now she's going to try to change her road but by doing so she might make things even worse.
There are two things wrong about this cover: First, we are past April Fools. Second, there's barely any scene with the rest of the Suicide Squad.
Also, this issue marks the beginning of Rob Williams' work in Suicide Squad and is... something I suppose.
As the title tells you, the story focuses on Harley Quinn and how she's feeling angsty about her role as a criminal, about how she doesn't help people. There are some things that bother me about this characterization, one of the most obvious being "angsty Harley" which is something that almost never works well as you may remember from Sean Ryan's run on Suicide Squad. Plus, there are some moments where she genuinely acts like an idiot which is completely different from her portrayal in her own title. Harley might be crazy but she's not stupid.
There are some fun moments though like the scenes where she starts giving therapy to a bunch of supervillains which feels in character but it ultimately ends with Harley fighting against the Justice League for reasons that seem a bit contrived.
Also, this issue presents the return of fat Amanda Waller which while is popular with some people, it makes her less suited for a work where she will have to put her life at risk.
Jim Lee and Sean Galloway share art duties in both the action and comedic scenes respectively and they work nicely in their own segments fortunately. Although Lee's classic superhero style clashes a bit with Calloway's cartoony's take.
Not that promising but let's see how the proper series is handled.
