Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass
by Mariko Tamaki; ill. Steve Pugh (DC Comics, 2019)
A bleak origin story painted in washed-out tones with occasional, rebellious splashes of harlequin red. Harley’s capricious personality is played up for all it’s worth, ensconced within a more regular teen flightiness. The affected, fourth wall–breaking side-notes quickly outstay their welcome.
