For someone who loves these two ladies as much as I do, I'm ashamed to say that I had never read a comic focused on them until this one. I'm now realising I probably didn't choose the best one to start with but, oh well, we all make mistakes.

This is a comic created by some guys who worked on the animated series, and follows Harley and Ivy's shenanigans that revolve around trying to find a rare flower that they can use to turn people into slaves.

I loved parts of this comic. As previously mentioned, I'm madly in love with both of these characters, and I also love them together. Honestly I don't know how much of that is just me generally enjoying seeing them and what this particular comic actually brought to the characters, but I'll take it as a positive anyway. The art was also nice, which is to be expected considering that it's almost identical to the one from the animated series. The plot was pretty good, though in that regard the first two volumes vastly outshine the last one.

My big issue with this is a common one I find when reading comics about female characters drawn by men (which is, unfortunately, most of them). There is not one but several shower scenes in this, not a single one which needed to be there. Asides from those, there's also several random scenes of the two ladies in their underwear and one especially gratuitous page that's just Ivy being thrown to the floor in her panties and bra.

Without the blatant sexualisation of the characters and general grossness, this probably would have been a fun, if somewhat forgettable comic, but that pushes it into a territory where I don't think I can recommend it. There's better stuff out there featuring these two. I'll leave you all on a happier note though with a particularly gay moment from this comic that I enjoyed.
