![]() ![]() The tone of Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey #1 is very similar to the movie – Harley at her most charmingly unhinged, a ragtag group of heroines backing her up, a loathsome crime-lord villain, and a distinctly R-rated bent – but it has a light touch that delivers the perfect dose of absurdity. After an ill-advised attempt to get Power Girl to make her some diamonds, Harley decides to take matters into her own hands and head to Gotham to take on the loan shark. An ill-advised attempt to prolong a vacation with Poison Ivy causes a rift between them, and Harley comes back to find out that her building has been torched and her manager Tony has been violently assaulted by a shady loan agency she was in hock to. At around 32 packed pages, it kicks off with Harley doing what she does best – screwing up her life. It’s also almost entirely a Harley comic, at least for the first issue. Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey #1 is a foul-mouthed, ultraviolent love letter to the creative team and supporting cast of the Palmiotti/Conner run. ![]() Ray: ….but to my eye this Black Label miniseries has all the best parts in the hands of Harley’s most iconic creative team.

Our Grade: A, This is a funny and colorful film for many who are big fans of Margot Robbie and Harley Quinn. With that being said, I loved that she is still a tough badass chick with a colorful and playful wardrobe combined with a devil may care attitude. You really have to know who Harley Quinn is and in my opinion, that movie introduced this character better than this movie did. I am not saying that a person has to watch the entire movie, but what I would do is at least watch clips of Harley Quinn’s character from Suicide Squad on YouTube, because admittedly, it will help to understand and follow this movie a lot better. I heard a bunch of no’s from different people including my coworkers and I happen to work in a movie theatre. Because of this, I was unsure if one had to watch that movie before they saw this movie. What We Think: Definitely packed with sarcasm and kickass women! Prior to seeing this movie, I was cautious because I personally have never seen Suicide Squad and if I am, to be honest, I still have no desire to watch it. But things soon even out for Harl ey when she becomes unexpected allies with three deadly women - Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Black Canary (Smollett-Bell) and Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez). Unprotected and on the run, Quinn faces the wrath of narcissistic crime boss Black Mask (McGregor), his right-hand man, Victor Zsasz (Chris Messina), and every other thug in the city. What It Is: It’s open season on Harley Quinn (Robbie) when her explosive breakup with the Joker puts a big fat target on her back. Starring: Margot Robbie, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Ewan McGregor ![]()
