"The strongest aspect of this issue is Conner's character work. Like the script, her characters are expressive in all the right ways, understated, and inherently emotional."--MTV Geek "The secret to this book's surprisingly sweet appeal is Amanda Conner."--Newsarama "[Conner's] work is so irresistibly beautiful and evocative."--Craveonline "It's silly, it's funny, it's irreverent."-Comic Book Resources "Every bit as chaotic and unabashedly fun as one would expect."-IGN "Harley Quinn is a pure joy as a self-referential comedic anti-villain, and an antidote to the far too serious superhero operas that it shares its universe with."-Newsarama
