Spoiler-Free Reaction 

A weird and wacky issue that’s just as crazy as Harley Quinn.  There’s definitely some dark humor in this story, but it’s still an issue that tries to stay light.  With the art containing pastel-like bright colors and heavily outlined characters, the story is given an even more surreal feel.  If you can catch them, a panel or two have some Easter eggs that relate to DC’s parent company — Warner Brothers.

Spoilerific Plot Points

  • The plane carrying Harley Quinn crashes and she’s left stranded on a deserted island.
