Harley Quinn Vol. 2: Power Outage (The New 52) (Harley Quinn (Numbered)) - Amanda Conner,Jimmy Palmiotti,Chad Hardin

Honestly, Volume 1 was a bit of a toss up between 2 and 3 stars. I didn't necessarily like it, but I got attached to the characters and fell into the continuous story so I went with 3 stars. There were parts I didn't like, but at least I was interested in the story.

This one however, was something entirely different. Choppy, confusing, anticlimactic, and downright boring at times. I just did not enjoy this one. It was easy to get caught up in the first one because of the progressing story, but this one lacked that connectivity. The stories are just kind of there and none of them were interesting enough for me. The backstory in "Secret Harley Quinn" was sort of interesting, but ended so abruptly and didn't really go anywhere.

Really this one just felt like an excuse to look at Harley and other female characters in sexy outfits and positions. From the pornographic "burlesque" show to Harley showing off her rear end to a mugger and Power Girl's inability to find clothes that fit or clothing at all, it all felt dumb and full of fan service. Not really my style.

I gave this series a shot, but it's just not a good fit for me.

Harley Quinn Vol. 1: Hot in the City (The New 52) - Amanda Conner,Jimmy Palmiotti

This is a tricky one for me to rate. While I love the idea of Harley Quinn and all of her craziness, I'm also not huge on gore and violence.

A while back, I passed up buying this book because I read reviews critiquing how it's basically just a collection of sexy pictures of Harley. I saw this book at the library last week and picked it up to see what it was actually about. While there are plenty of sexy poses and outfits, which I have come to expect in the majority of superhero/villain comics, I was actually pleasantly surprised to see there was a general plot. 

The beginning of the book, which flows through a bunch of art styles and artists, started out interesting, but got pretty old real quick. However, after that, I did get sucked into the general story. Plus, there's some roller derby, which is always a win in my book. 

The artwork wasn't my favorite, because there's a limit to how much unrealistic female body representation and overly gruesome violence I can take. If you're into those kind of things, this is probably a better fit for you. 

I did pick up the second book at the library, because I figured why not, so we'll see how that goes. I am intrigued by the series, but not sure if it's a good enough fit to stick out in the long run.

Batman and Deadshot find Kobra's plan
SUICIDE SQUAD #44 ((DC REBIRTH)) ((Regular Cover)) - DC Comics - 2018-1st Printing - RobWilliamsSuicideSquad44,EduardoPansicaSuicideSquad44

As it turns out, Zoe wasn't their ultimate goal, but rather a draw Deadshot to them.   When the Kobra's dead, former leader is put into Deadshot, who becomes a snake/human hybrid - not a spoiler, because that cover, by the way, which says he's transformed - who will save him, and how?  

 

Excellent ending to this storyline.

Batman and Deadshot close in on Kobra
Suicide Squad 43 - Rob Williams

They've been circling, but they close in on Kobra, who are ready to put the soul of their deceased and beloved leader, into Zoe, wiping her identity out in the process.   

 

And I have to go, so very, very short review.   Love the focus on Deadshot!

Oops, out of order
Suicide Squad 39 - Rob Williams,Neil Edwards

Forgot to add in 39 manually instead of importing, so here it is. 

 

Another fun issue leading up the finale of this storyline.  I'm really, really enjoying these longer storylines!
