Spoiler-free review
TDKPH rating: 10/10
I am quite surprised that this book wasn't hyped enough. This is a Harley Quinn book with Jim Lee as a cover and interior artist. Those two names alone should make this book a good pick. Bring in Sean Galloway, Alex Sinclair, and Scott Williams, then you have something that people should line up for.
This book serves as a prequel to the relaunch of Suicide Squad. For quite some time now, Suicide Squad (as a comicbook) falls short in inticing the readers in get the book. This is a much needed revamp to the title.
This book revolves around Harley Quinn and her adventure towards a new calling. Despite the lack of visibility o the Suicide Squad, they play a big role in developing the story.
From the looks of it, this book seems to align DC's comics and WB's movies. The members of the Suicide Squad that appeared in this book are the same members that appeared in the trailers. Deadshot's line at the end is intriguing enough that it made me want to get Suicide Squad #1
It being a Harley Quinn book, expect that it will be funny. What I loved most about this is the meta-messages spilled all over the letter she got from the "evil mastermind".
The art duties also shifted from Jim Lee to Sean Galloway. For the longest time, I hated it when this happens in a single issue. However, in this book, the shift had a purpose. It even gave me a better appreciation of the story. And before I forget, Sean Galloway did an amazong job!
This is definitely a great pull for this week's new comics. It is a light read filled with humor with a fast pace action sequence that is sure to capture the attention of every reader. Run to your nearest local comicbook store before it runs out!
