Book of Interest: Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass

I'm so happy that Poison Ivy is getting more appreciation from DC Comics. She will be featured in two books with Harley Quinn that will be released in the first week of September. The first book is this graphic novel, Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass on Tuesday, Sept. 3rd and the second is first issue of the Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy miniseries released on Wednesday, September 4th.

As much as I'm a big fan of both characters, it's Ivy that needs more promotion. I hope this newfound interest from DC Comics will continue because Poison Ivy is an amazing character. Anyway, I can't wait to read this book to see if Harley figures out who she is and whether she will side with Ivy or Joker.



Book: Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass by Mariko Tamaki with illustrations by Steve Pugh

Publication: September 3, 2019

Description:

With just five dollars and a knapsack to her name, fifteen-year-old Harleen Quinzel is sent to live in Gotham City. She's not worried, though—she's battled a lot of hard situations as a kid, and knows her determination and outspokenness will carry her through life in the most dangerous city in the world. And when Gotham's finest drag queen, Mama, takes her in, it seems like Harley has finally found a place to grow into her most "true true" with new best friend Ivy at Gotham High.

But when Mama's drag cabaret becomes the next victim in the wave of gentrification that's taking over the neighborhood, Harley gets mad. She decides to turn her anger into action and is faced with two choices: join activist Ivy, who's campaigning to make the neighborhood a better place to live, or join her anarchist friend Joker, who plans to take down Gotham one corporation at a time.

From Eisner Award and Caldecott Honor-winning author Mariko Tamaki (This One Summer) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Steve Pugh comes a coming-of-age story about choices, consequences, and how a weird kid from Gotham goes about defining her world for herself.
