Is anyone else reading the New 52 Harley Quinn series? We may only be 6 issues in, but what do you think of it?

Personally, I love seeing Harley out on her own, doing her thing. It's no secret her "relationship" with the Joker was unhealthy and downright abusive. Of course abusive relationships are never the victim's fault, but it got downright painful to watch. So even if her reason for flying solo isn't really her own choice, it's still nice to see her doing it!

But a lot of people (rightfully) criticize her wardrobe. She's still drawn for the male gaze, wearing the skimpiest, sexiest clothing. And I completely understand that criticism, and it does bother me, but at least her actions speak a bit differently. Hello lesbian tones with Ivy that aren't played for laughs or to be sexy.

Dissecting aside, I think it's just a fun story. No gritty reboot, no dark, twisted tones. Just Harley having fun, being a savior to abused animals. Awwwwww yeah.

So what do you think of Harley's new adventure?
