Harley Quinn Vol. 2: Harley Destroys the Universe

First, I want to say that this comic came in pristine condition. I've seen Amazon workers just throw packages into trucks with no regards to what's in it and i'm more than pleased when it came untouched. Anywho it's a great comic. Coming from a die hard fan of Harley this comic is absolutely amazing. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone who is planning on buying it so to keep it brief without any details, the comic's writing in MY OPINION is really good. It's witty, funny, action packed and really captures Harley's personality throughout. The art is PHENOMENAL and really clean. I'm happy to have this among my collection of Harley Quinn comics/merch and I will totally buy the rest of them!

“Harley Quinn, vol. 2: Harley Destroys the Universe” collects issues 50-54 and 56 of “Harley Quinn” written by Sam Humphries and Mark Russell with art by Sami Basri, Lucas Werneck, Mirka Andolfo, John Timms, Whilce Portacio, Agnes Garbowska, John McCrea, Kelley Jones, Jon Davis-Hunt, Brett Booth, Norm Rapmund, Scott Kolins, Dan Jurgens, Guillem March, Babs Tarr, Tom Grummett, and Cam Smith, colors by Alex Sinclair, Gabe Eltaeb, Arif Prianto, John Kalisz, Michelle Madsen, Andrew Dalhouse, Romulo Fajardo, Jr., and letters by Dave Sharpe. This is the second volume after Humphries took over as head writer and picks up on the story threads he began in “Harley Quinn, vol. 1: Harley vs. Apokolips,” with Harley threatening the foundation of the DC Universe.This story serves both to commemorate the series 50th issue and works to further cement Harley Quinn as DC’s version of a Deadpool character who can comment on and satirize the publisher while appearing in DC’s own books. Humphries also digs deep into DC lore, featuring Jonni DC – a character that first appeared in “Ambush Bug” between 1986-1992 – and was a female version of Johnny DC, the company’s in-house promotional mascot who first appeared in “Green Lantern” no. 17 in 1962. In this, the story similarly recalls the 1996 one-shot, “Sergio Aragonés Destroys DC.” The fallout of the story leads to Captain Triumph, a character who first appeared in “Crack Comics” no. 27 from 1943, becoming trapped in the present. Quinn must help Jonni DC return him to the past and learn about the dangers of nostalgia, while the story offers an opportunity for her to wear her DC Bombshells costume.The next story features new villain Minor Disaster, the daughter of Green Lantern super-villain Major Disaster, who first appeared in “Green Lantern” no. 43 from 1966. Minor seeks her father’s approval and, seeing Harley Quinn gain fame through the internet, she decides to take Quinn down in order to prove herself. The volume concludes with “Pettergate,” written by guest writer Mark Russell. This story easily fits in among the fun one-off narratives in “Harley Quinn,” with her trying to rehome cats and facing chauvinist pet stores in a thinly-veiled satire of so-called meninists on the internet. It features clever writing and even a cameo from Catwoman, closing out the volume in good form. Overall, “Harley Quinn, vol. 2: Harley Destroys the Universe” improves on the first volume and shows that the title is under good stewardship.

If you need a break from the seriousness of the other major superheroes and villains, pick up this run on Quinn. Funny with the ability to bring in serious moments. Must have.

Hmmm... the artwork as always is amazing, but the story line was a bit boring. I'm willing to give it a second shot. I dont know, maybe I missed something.

Another great contribution

Good value
