Finished reading Harley Quinn: Black, White and Red All Over, being an end to the first Harley Quinn series from writers Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmotti the pair begin to set up a new status quo for the future of the character. The book opens up with Harley getting back to Coney Island after being in Gotham in the previous story as Harley try's to have some time to relax which leads to Harley getting an new hair style and a updated costume before she heads of to her local skate club where she is challenged by a masked man named Red Tool who has an unhealthy affection for Harley. The next story sees Harley and Tony being hired for a job to steal a cars which turn out to be transforming mech suits, with one being involved in the destruction of a building earlier in the story. The final story within the book opens with Harley dreaming about being lost in a cinema before waking up realising that she is still chained to a tree in protest of to prevent it from being cut Dow only for Tony to remind her that she's late for work and placing him in her place while she also thinks of another way to save the tree. Overall this was a good book as it wraps up this series on quite a nice note as it sets up for the next phase is Harley's life while also acting allowing the for some smaller stories after the events that transpired in Gotham previously. The addition of the new character of Red Tool is great thanks to how he plays off of Harley with how the two interact and the situations they find themselves in. The art throughout the book is great as feels very coherent which is a credit to the whole art team as it changes quite subtlety and when it is noticed is makes sense on a story standpoint. 7/10.
