Harley Quinn is pissed. She’s had it to the tips of her cap with the Joker. So now she’s going to use a few random items to break into Arkham Asylum and do what no one else seems to be able to, kill her puddin’. Can she pull it off, find out after the jump.
DC Comics has released a sneak peek of Gotham City Sirens #19 that arrives in stores on February 2, 2011.
The Thanksgiving week is a really weird one. It makes for a short work week, which is nice, but the four day weekend, where we stuff our gullets with turkey and spend the next three days in a stuffing filled haze can be a bit overwhelming. Such is the case with DC Comics and the plethora of Batman titles released each week. Since I’m such a Batman fan (he said with much sarcasm), here’s a rundown of the past week’s Bat-titles.
Since Grant Morrison’s R.I.P., the Joker has been pretty scarce, and some have speculated where the Clown Prince of Crime might have wandered off to. Dead? The new Red Hood? Hunting bats in the far past? Nope. Turns out he’s been right there waiting to make a dramatic entrance.
Surprisingly enough, leading ladies Catwoman, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn take a back seat in issue 3 of this new series. Don’t expect this book to pick up where issue 2 left off; we don’t discover what becomes of Harley who was kidnapped by Tommy Elliot (posing as Bruce Wayne). The storyline will pick up again in issue 4 titled “Hush and Harleyâ€.
Who’s still following Gotham City Sirens? Guillem March does the cover for issue #8, which makes for a great opportunity to feature his work as today’s entry for the Art Appreciation Moment of the Day.
Issue one of this new monthly series, which focuses on Gotham Girls Catwoman, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, closed with Selina Kyle purchasing an abandoned animal shelter for the trio to share as their new hideout (for more on how the fabulous threesome got together, pick up issue one). Once the deal is sealed however, the women double cross Selina and spray her with one of Ivy’s powders to put her at “ease†for an interrogation. What do they want to know? The true identity of Batman.
