Old Lady Harley #1

Frank Tieri and artists Inaki Miranda and Eva de la Cruz kick off this 5-issue mini-series with a cover — by Alain Mauricet — that sets the tone perfectly: an older, battle-worn Harley Quinn clutches her mallet and faces down an enormous, grinning skull wreathed in wild green hair, while a speech bubble cheerfully declares "Hello, Puddin'!" The tagline "The Bad Don't Die!" promises a future where Harley is still very much in the thick of things, and the crumbling rubble beneath her feet suggests the world around her hasn't exactly held up better than she has. It's a sharp, darkly funny opener that feels right at home in 2018's DC Universe.
