Harleen (2019) #1
by Stjepan Šejić
Sejic is the BEST artist in the game. There's a ton of great ones, but man oh man, everything I open his book it wows me.
Okay so Harleen is a more slice of life story about Harley before she becomes...when the Joker's weapon basically. So we have Harleen here going through various stages of her life, her in college, her banging her teacher, her trying to be a good doctor, and then...JOKER! One faithful night the crazy fuck meets her, nearly kills her, and she watches as the Batman beats the evil clown down to the ground.
I actually enjoyed this opening chapter. It kind of has a "you know it's all going to go to shit" but it's so refreshing to see Harley done in a different manner. One where you can feel her change will be more natural, yet also root for this character. I also love love love the art. Sejic does an amazing job. I thought the Joker was too good looking at points and also too "charming" but I guess this is Harleen's view point so it could be a interesting twist.
Overall though, I want more. DC, get Sejic to write more you fools! A 4 out of 5.
