It's a nice ensemble of Harley Quinn stories for the price, but Mad Love‘s absence is felt and Batman: Harley Quinn #1 looks like it was scanned in low-resolution. Otherwise, I think fans of the character will have a wonderful time reading these amusing tales of Quinn's misadventures. Read Full Review

While the eponymous story, first in the book, was meant to be the selling point of the TP, I can't stop thinking it falls short compared to Mad Love, ironically written by Dini as well. It's not a bad comic, and sure has couple of great moments - it's just... not Mad Love, I guess, and lacks its somewhat innocent charm so characteristic to anything directly related to Batman: The Animated Series. Call it a soft reboot, call it a supplementary story, it's all right, but not phenomenal, and in many regards it feels like a step back from Mad Love.

It's The Bet, from Gotham Knights #14 that sold me - it's short, straight to the point, and captures friendship of Harley and Ivy at its peak, long before it was ruined and replaced with cheap fan service once New-52 launched. It's a genuinely fun story to follow, and made me really laugh more than once.

The Most Important Day of the Year felt uneven to me - there's plenty of Deadpool-like violence mixed with slapstick, completely empty and serving no real purpose. I'd say it's pretty mediocre, and shows the slow but sure degeneration of the main character, making her less and less appealing, less and less what made her so likeable in the past. The ending is story's definite highlight - the rest, leading to it, is more often a miss than a hit, sadly.

Justice is Served was entertaining and full of classic Harley charm. Definitely worth reading - it's a nice mix of quite surreal story with proper humor and dialogues.

Overall a decent collection - could have been better, but I can't complain too much. After all, it's a celebration of Harley's history, before New-52 turned her into a shallow shadow of herself. more
