These gals ain’t going to have a Harlequin Romance written about them. ‘Cause the clown princess Harley Quinn and that green-thumbed (who knows how to use it) Poison Ivy are anything but a cozy romance love affair.   We start off the collected comics of the Dynamic Duo of Mayhem, Harley Quinn: The Animated Series Volume 1: The Eat. Bang! Kill. Tour (#1-6) by Tee Franklin, Max Sarin (Illustrator) and others, with a car chase out of Gotham. It is a “between the series” moment where Ivy […]

What began as a pick-me-up purchase of the first volume became a “tune it all out” obsession once I realized that more volumes were available on both Scribd and Hoopla. My diversion turned into a marathon reading of volumes 1-12 with […]

Last year, I signed up for Cannonball Read 9. Unlike 2013, where I completed my first (and only, thus far) FULL Cannonball of reading AND reviewing 52 books in one year, last year I was a bit more pragmatic. I went for a quarter Cannonball, or 13 books. Unfortunately, last year turned out to be not so much a “reading year” for me as it was more a “I’m slowly going to get more and more upset with my previous job year and struggle to […]
