Harley Quinn: Angry Bird Review



Finished reading Harley Quinn: Angry Bird, DC's Harley Quinn series continues as writer Frank Tieri brings an array of Gotham's own criminals lead by Penguin to Harley's corner of the DC universe. The book opens with Harley's friend Tony in a local bar where he's kidnapped while leaving, the news only gets to Harley when she notices that her friends have been following her as she's not been acting herself recently and has been pushing people away. Which causes Harley to look for Tony herself while everyone else start their own investigation not without have Red Tool to keep an eye on Harley before the two are attacked by a Man-Bat. The book then continues with Harley moving out of Coney Island to Brooklyn away from her friends which leads to the Penguin to implement his plan expand his business to New York by bring a group of villains from Gotham to help with his first move being a take over of Coney Island which has been left unprotected since Harley's left before expanding to the rest of New York. The final story takes place in a post apocalyptic future as Red Tool has captured an older Harley to bring her back to Coney Island as the Gang of Harley's has taken control of the state of New York with each having their own part and have been fighting each other for years with Harley being that last hope to stop the gang. Overall this was a great book as it continues Harley's story extremely well thanks to the amount of character development she has over the course of the book by building upon what has happened throughout the series. The book's supporting cast also has a great amount of development thanks the the amount of time the book makes for their own story and the way each character interacts with one another which includes some great moments of levity. The art throughout the book is great as the art team is able to put a nice amount of detail into the abilities each character and their equipment to great effect. 8/10.
