Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass by Mariko Tamaki
4.0

This is a really fun alternate origin story for Harley! I LOVE that it brought Harley more in line with the chaotic feminist incarnation that's in the air these days.
SpoilerAnd that it made the Joker a total skeezy dirtbag.


AND that Ivy is an awesome black feminist community activist?? And that Harley's found family is a group of drag queens? Ugh, who could ask for anything more?! (OK I could also for Harley and Ivy to be explicitly girlfriends in this but even without it, their friendship here is amazing.)

This is a really smart origin story/coming of age story for new and experienced comics fans alike.

The art is lovely too.
