Its a love story gone horribly, horribly wrong as the Jokers partner in crime takes the spotlight in this lushly illustrated hardcover volume featuring art by Terry Dodson and Rachel Dodson (WONDER WOMAN).Theres never a dull moment as Harley bounces from botched schemes to close encounters with Gotham Citys kingpins of crime, all the while making wisecracks and acting in the spirit of inspired lunacy.

           I loved it from page one, book didn't start off with her being with Joker already. Loved how they started with her childhood and how she became a psychiatrist. And then how she became Jokers girl. Would recommend to anyone who loves Harley and Joker.

Harley Quinn has been one of my favorite characters ever since she popped up on the scene in the Batman: The Animated Series cartoon. I was also a big fan of Arleen Sorkin, from my soap opera viewing days, who voiced the original HQ, so I figured I would enjoy this origin story and I wasn't disappointed. It feels a little like reading a comic book actually but a little more in-depth in terms of writing since you don't have the illustrations, but I really liked that because it felt like snappy writing, quick and to the point, while still able to engage us in HQ's backstory and how she was manipulated by the Joker into becoming HQ. Stories like this are always fascinating to me because I see stories in the news of extremely intelligent women, who get hoodwinked by some charming, usually equally intelligent, albeit most of the time mentally ill person, into becoming a completely different person. Although in this story, even though after the Joker "breaks" Harley, which was his primary goal, it could be argued in this particular story that in his breaking of her he was also unlocking her in some sense.

I will warn though Joker is abusive towards Harley, this is no secret, but the abuse Harley suffers in the story was a little hard to swallow at times, so be aware if you are triggered by that sort of thing. This includes mental and physical abuse. 

Overall this is a good story and I had a lot of fun learning more about one of my favorite characters so if you are a fan of the Batman universe I highly recommend this one.

"Having played out every trick on the fine citizens of Gotham City, Harley Quinn - the Joker's former girlfriend - decides that another city deserves her attention. After all, why menace one city when you can menace two? Especially if the second has a Man of Steel guarding it. Harley hightails it to Metropolis, with allies Poison Ivy and Bizarro in tow. Writer Karl Kesel and artist Terry Dodson continue their now classic run on this beloved title in Harley Quinn: Welcome to Metropolis, collecting Harley Quinn issues #14-25"--
