![]() The raids result in the Birds and Montoya chasing Joker to an abandoned hanger where an eventual battle ensues. Instead, Harley gifts Montoya with the location of Joker’s hideouts – her peace-offering after blowing up the bathroom – and that does lead to a number of funny sequences of Joker’s hideouts being raided by the GCPD. While I’m certain some people will find it offensive, I just didn’t find it that funny.ĭespite the Joker’s appearance in the book, he never actually interacts with Harley. I, personally, didn’t care for the humor here. If you felt as though the opening scene between Harley and Montoya at the diner ran too long, then you’ll definitely feel that this scene is also long. This is honestly the part of the book that drags the most for me. He has recruited Sin – who you might remember from the creative team’s monthly Harley Quinn run. As I said earlier, you should know whether this style of humor is your thing or not before you buy the book, so if this isn’t your thing, then Harley Quinn & the Birds of Prey probably isn’t the book for you.Īs the plot progresses, Palmiotti and Conner’s foreshadowing pays off, and the Joker does appear. The only difference here is that this iteration is a little more explosive!Īs you can tell, you’re not in for any high-brow humor here, so you should prepare yourself for plenty of poop, boob, and beaver jokes, as well as an ample amount of sexual innuendos.

So… I’ll let their work speak for itself. If you can factor these changes into the general concept and feel that it won’t bother you, then you should be good. They go a little further with their innuendos, and there’s plenty of teases of almost-nudity. Tonally, the book is exactly the same, the only difference is that the creative team doesn’t have to hold back with their vulgarity. So, it’s fair to say that if you enjoyed their run on Harley, then you’ll enjoy this. ![]() ![]() Hell, that’s a big reason why Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti’s run on Harley Quinn was so popular! They just had fun with this. With so many standard comics or dark, gritty comics out there, books like this can be a breath of fresh air. ![]() Let’s be honest, we all know that this book is meant to be a funny, comedic take on Harley and the BoP. ![]()
