Ivy's been through a lot, as has Harley, so them struggling is very realistic. Harley Quinn: The Animated Series: The Eat. I'm also enjoying seeing how Ivy and Harley's romance is developing and the fact that they have issues and difficulties connecting and all that. Also, seeing her home, her cats and how she lives her life when she is not being a cool thief/villain was a lot of fun. Selina is a great character and I love her characterisation in the show and thus this comic: she's so cool, aloof, funny and I just adore the reactions she elicits in people, especially Ivy. I really loved having Ivy, Harley and Selina together. Just like issue 1, issue 2 was funny, chaotic, romantic and cute with brilliant artwork. Harley Quinn: The Animated Series: The Eat.

I loved how grey morality and relationships were explored throughout both books, but especially in this one with West’s relationships to both Fable and his crew.īut more than that I just loved each and every character. This world very much ‘every person for themselves’, and that is so apparent in the decisions and structure of this society. I loved how morally grey this entire duology is.
