Synopsis

HEED THE CALL — JOIN THE GANG OF HARLEYS!
 
Harley Quinn is on a mission to make the world a better place...and get paid for it at the same time! Quinn and her Gang of Harleys are taking on do-gooding missions for a price, but sometimes that means they’re biting off more than even a gang of semi-sane butt-kickers can chew. So when a simple search and rescue mission turns into a battle royal against an invulnerable alien-empowered sea captain...that means it’s time for a vacation!
 
But no trip to Hollywood could ever be simple for Harley Quinn—she’s got a job to do, too. As she navigates a twisted web of movie producers, starlets, kidnappings and cults, Harley discovers that the bounty-hunting business can be even more dangerous than being a hero for profit...especially when you’re trying to poach a bounty from Deadshot!
 
Harley continues carving out her own path, with the help of guest-stars Poison Ivy and Catwoman! This collection includes HARLEY QUINN #17-21 and HARLEY QUINN ROAD TRIP SPECIAL #1, from co-writers Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti (STARFIRE) and artists including Chad Hardin (SUPERGIRL) and Brett Blevins (BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL).

About this title

About the Author:

Amanda Conner began her professional art career as an illustrator for New York City ad agencies. However, her love of comic books and cartooning soon led her to the comics world, where she initially found work at companies such as Archie, Marvel and Claypool Comics. Since then, she has worked on a number of high profile projects spanning a variety of genres. Her works include Vampirella, Painkiller Jane, as well as creator-owned projects such as Gatecrasher (with co-creators Jimmy Palmiotti and Mark Waid) and The Pro (with co-creators Jimmy Palmiotti and Garth Ennis). Her work for DC Comics includes CODENAME: KNOCKOUT, BIRDS OF PREY, TERRA, a well-regarded run on POWER GIRL, and BEFORE WATCHMEN: SILK SPECTRE. Amanda, along with her artist/writer/husband, Jimmy Palmiotti, and writer Justin Gray currently work together via PaperFilms, a multimedia entertainment studio engaged in screenwriting, art production and development.
 
Jimmy Palmiotti is a multi-award-winning writer and comic artist and the co-founder of Event Comics, Black Bull Media, Marvel Knights and, most recently, PaperFilms, where he currently partners with Amanda Conner and Justin Gray.

Review:

“Overall, I'm enjoying "Harley Quinn" a great deal; it's silly, it's funny, it's irreverent.”—Comic Book Resources
 
“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
 
“[Harley Quinn’s] a complex character, and now, with Conner, Palmiotti, and Hardin at reins, she's being given the treatment she's long since deserved.”—IGN
