Gotham City Sirens #26

The penultimate chapter of "Friends" arrives with a cover by Guillem March that immediately sets the tension: a towering figure in black clutches both a massive mallet and a vine-wrapped chain, looming over the diminutive forms of Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn below. The size contrast alone tells you the trio's uneasy alliance is under serious strain, with Ivy's green form and Harley's harlequin costume rendered small and vulnerable against that imposing silhouette. Peter Calloway's script, brought to life by artist Andres Guinaldo with inks from Lorenzo Ruggiero and Raúl Fernández, promises a part four that pushes these complicated friendships to their breaking point.
