Friday Night Fights Special Edition: Love Tap!

It's a Valentine's Special over at Spacebooger.com tonight so here are everyone's favourite psychotic lovers, Joker and Harley Quinn going through a rough patch in their 'relationship':






Turns out that's not even Harley but Poison Ivy in disguise so the joke's on him! Why did Poison Ivy disguise herself as Dr. Quinzel? You gotta read Harley Quinn: Preludes and Knock Knock Jokes by Karl Kesel and Terry & Rachel Dodson to find out.

Mini Review - Harley Quinn: Preludes and Knock Knock Jokes HC

Aaaannnd I'm back. I told you I'll be back in February. I didn't say when in February, did I? Hah! Just had to sort out some personal stuff and then decided to take some time off from blogging. Because I can. But I'm back and there is much rejoicing across the land. What have I been reading this past few days? This:


It collects the first seven issues of Harley's own series, written by Karl "12 parsecs" Kesel and art by Terry and Rachel Dodson. In this collection, Harley decides to go solo after Joker tries to kill her, tangles with Two-Face, have a girls' night out with some of DC's femme fatales, recruits a Joker wannabe into her gang and tries to rob Wayne Manor. Fun!

I like Kesel's plots. And here I thought he was just a kick ass inker. Nothing ground breaking here, I admit, but writing an entertaining comic book story isn't as easy as you would think. If it was, I'd be doing it myself. The Dodson's art is solid. I've never seen their work before this and it reminds me a little of the late Mike Weiringo and that's no bad thing.

Harley Quinn: Preludes and Knock Knock Jokes is a nice collection that a Bat-fan should own. A bit overpriced perhaps ($25 for seven issues) but who buys at retail price anyway? Or you could wait for the softcover version.

And that's my mini review. Yeah, it isn't much...I'm still rusty from taking a couple weeks off.

"Daddy, why are you looking at the naked cartoon ladies?..."

For an all-ages comic, the Harley and Ivy limited series sure shows off a lot of flesh. There was that prison beat down worthy of a Bahlactus Friday Night Fight in Costa Verde. Then there's this shower scene in the women's wing of Arkham.

I, for one, am all for women's shower scenes in my comics. Because I'm creepy like that.

To find out why Ivy is pissed off and to see more of Harley and Ivy goodness, get the Batman: Harley and Ivy trade. Wherever good books are sold. And some bad ones too.

Friday Night Fights: Sucka Punch Round 5

That was Poison Ivy getting some seeing to courtesy of a Costa Verde prison guard. Oh, you think her best pal ever, Harley Quinn, is just gonna stand there and do nothing? No way, sucka!

Guard, meet plunger.

Meet plunger again.

And for the third time, "Hello!"

Bahlactus doesn't need no plunger. He already owns your ass.
