Living with mental illness myself, identifying the complexities of finding and sustaining true friendships is quite the battle. It’s no secret that Harley has mental illnesses, and the patience needed for her is such an important part of why she has to find the right tribe. It is touching to see a formerly abused woman to find solace amongst friends who appreciate and respect her for who she is. Harley has been a beacon for many misunderstood ladies who get the worst from the world but remain vigilant in their causes (sometimes). Not just because she is a relatable Gemini Jewish girl who can’t tell her butthole from a hole in the ground – but because she is resilient and misunderstood. The Gang of Harleys, the Birds of Prey, Power Girl, Red Tool and Poison Ivy all help amplify the brilliance and complexity of Harley Quinn’s life. While the Joker is still present in the book, he is not the focal point and is rightfully seen as the piece of trash many Harley fans have come to view him as. The arc is comical and refreshing and we get to see another side of Harley that provides depth for her character.
HARLEY QUINN BIRDS OF PREY SERIES
The very queer and vibrant four book series catapults Harley and The Birds of Prey into the spotlight, providing a sequel to their beloved series Harley Quinn and Harley Quinn and her Gang of Harleys. My favorite DC girl has the adventure of a lifetime in Harley Quinn and The Birds of Prey 1-4 by Amanda Connor and Jimmy Palmiotti.
