Harley Quinn x Elvira #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeHarley Quinn x Elvira #3 sits at the midpoint of a rare three-way inter-publisher crossover — DC Comics, Dynamite Entertainment, and Queen B Productions — pairing two of pop culture's most distinctive anti-heroines in a shared-universe story that neither company could publish alone. The issue brings Power Girl into the crossover fold, a character with deep roots in the Conner-Palmiotti creative partnership, adding a layer of continuity with the team's celebrated 2013–2018 DC run. As the pivotal issue that closes the Brooklyn chapter of the story and launches the cast toward Transylvania, it marks the structural turning point of the miniseries arc. The series as a whole represents Conner and Palmiotti's first extended return to writing Harley Quinn outside of DC since their defining run ended in 2018, now given the freedom of a co-publishing arrangement that blends superhero, horror-comedy, and licensed-character storytelling.

The project was formally announced in May 2025 as a joint venture between Dynamite Entertainment, DC Comics, and Queen B Productions — the company controlled by Cassandra Peterson, the actress who has portrayed Elvira since the character's creation over four decades ago. Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti, who had shepherded Harley Quinn through her most commercially successful comic book years beginning with DC's New 52 in November 2013, were recruited to write the series, with Conner also contributing select interior pages and two cover variants for every issue. Interior art duties fell to Juan Samu, who had previously worked with Dynamite on Elvira-focused titles including the Elvira Meets Vincent Price series, making him a natural fit to render both title characters with equal authenticity. The series was solicited in June 2025 Previews for an August 2025 debut, ultimately launching on October 15, 2025, with issue #3 going on sale December 17, 2025.
