So of course I wanted to read more about this version of these two women: ones who have found their way to each other despite obstacles that are both deeply relatable (trauma throwing up roadblocks) and ridiculous (what’s up, Kite Man?) Now that we both have the comic, though – what do you think?Īrmaan: So I have a special relationship with the show – it’s one of the first shows I ever covered professionally, and I had the privilege of getting access to the series about a month before the rest of the world did. But I also think it often does a great job in balancing its over-the-top violence and love for humanity with a genuine love for its characters, and its commitment to developing the bond between Harley and Ivy is genuinely great, not as exploitative or titillating as one might expect from the outside: their love for each other is critical to the story’s narrative and its overall plot structure. I think sometimes in its attempt to be audaciously funny, it’s casually offensive in ways that could be easily avoided with care while still making people laugh. Armaan Babu: I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time! Partly ‘cause Harley Quinn Season 3 is taking such a long time to get here, but also because while I’ve been reading this series digitally and you have just caught up with the physical release, so I’m dying to know your thoughts, Cassie! Before we begin, though, I feel it’s worth asking – how much of a fan are you of the animated series this book springs from?Ĭassie Tongue: I have a not-uncomplicated relationship with the animated series.
