Review: 
This series got a bit strange a few issues ago and while I enjoyed it better than the Power Girl issues, these have not been my favorites. In this installment, Harley is concluding the issue/ job involving the seaman who has eaten alien seaweed - yup Popeye-esq huh? I have to admit, at the beginning of this story line I was laughing about the Popeye additions but now it is just weird.  This issue was good and the conclusion and lead in to the next set in the series was done well. I especially liked that some of the Harley squad has to leave due to their mother, I think that was the only real LOL moment I had with this one. The mom kicks butt and is a great addition.

Goodreads Synopsis: 
Like Los Angeles didn't have enough problems with DC Comics moving in, now Harley Quinn is determined to take over Tinseltown! She's an overnight entertainment sensation, but will the industry survive Harley's fifteen minutes of fame?
Review: 
This most recent issue in the Harley Quinn series start Harley on a new journey to LA to recover a young girl how is being held captive. When she gets there Harley is excited and handles herself well - meeting costumed people even gaining a partner in crime for her short visit. The issue was funny again, Harley through and through. I really enjoyed this issue and am excited about the next ones - they are getting exciting.
