Harley Quinn: Die Laughing Review

Finished reading Harley Quinn: Die Laughing, restarting the series as part of DC Rebirth writers Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti continue their run with the character as Harley continues with her solo adventures with some even crazier situations. The book opens up with Harley and Poison Ivy at a local spa before Ivy heads back to Gotham. When Harley gets back home she reintroduces all of her supporting cast to the new additions of Jimm Salabim and Red Tool. Outside Harley and Red Tool soon discover that Coney Island has found itself in the middle of a zombie apocalypse when a shapeshifting alien inadvertently became part of the food chain as the alien disguised it self as a cow after crash landed in a farm. The next story sees Harley and the whole of Coney Island dealing with the aftermath of the zombie outbreak as Harley try to help the local Hot Dog vendor who's meat was contaminated. Soon after Harley and Bolly Quinn head over to India with the plan to bring an end to call centres that are conning people out of money. The final story of the book opens with Harley being rudely awakened in the middle of the night form a group of thefts dressed as Knights on horse back robing from a delivery van. With this seemingly being connected to other crimes going on in other part of the state of New York leading to police Chief Spoonsdale to ask for Harley's help as she goes undercover as part of a punk band along with Tony, Red Tool and Eggy to find the culprits. Overall this was a good book as it picks right up from the previous series seamlessly for readers while also being a good Jumping on point for new readers as the book begins with Harley introducing every one of her supporting. The premise and execution of each story is great as they bring a nice amount of comedic moments with how each character reacts to what is happening. Additionally there is a nice amount of hints and set ups to potential story that could happen later on in the series that look to be very interesting if revisited. The art throughout the book is great as each art style works for the story being told with the changing styles feeling very seamless between each other while the designs of the zombies at the beginning of the book to the punk band version of the characters bring some great visuals to the world that has be built. 7/10.
