Review: Maybe the best Harley Quinn story - I have never been a fan of Harley Quinn. As a kid, I thought she was ridiculous when she first appeared in the animated series. I think the idea of the Joker having a girlfriend is ludicrous. I was disappointed when she was brought over to the comics and I have been unimpressed by her overly-sexualized, Deadpool ripoff portrayal from the last decade or so. I have found the character to be entirely unnecessary and uncompelling. But I can't deny that this book is fantastic. I only read it because I have been recently making my way through DC's "Black Label" titles and I wasn't even really planning on reading the whole thing but I decided to at least give it a few pages. It grabbed me pretty quickly and I was extremely impressed with what a good job it did of making this character seem believable and interesting. Her perception of the Joker contrasted with who the Joker actually is comes through beautifully in this story. It has honestly become on of my very favorite "Black Label" titles. I wouldn't go so far to say that it has changed my opinion of Harley Quinn on any universal scale, and perhaps my reasons for liking this would be reasons to NOT like it if you are a big fan of other portrayals of the character, but this book is masterfully written (with gorgeous artwork as well) and I'm happy I gave it a chance.
Review: A Long Dark Dream - She has become one of the most popular comic characters in the past few decades though her character began on the greatest superhero animated series of all-time. Harleen is a character origin story written and drawn by Stjepan Sejic about Dr. Harleen Quinzel’s turn into Joker’s right-hand woman Harley Quinn. Professionally struggling psychiatrist Dr. Harleen Quinzel doesn’t know what to do with her career as her theory on the suppression of empathy for too long as part of the flight or fight response results in losing it and being mentally unbalanced. After a failed grant presentation and a late night of drinking her disappointment away, Harleen is walking home when she suddenly finds herself at gunpoint across from The Joker only for Batman to save her. The next day she is surprised when Lucius Fox gives her a grant from the Wayne Foundation to pursue research on her theory at Arkham Asylum. Harleen interviews the inmates, a who’s who of Batman’s rogue’s gallery, except Joker until she breaks down and does so. All throughout this time, she can’t sleep which is affecting her perception and thinking. The Joker quickly realizes she’s his ticket out and through his contacts gets her research to manipulate her in the future. But Harleen’s theory doesn’t sit well with Harvey Dent who wants her to quit, which she refuses and days later he is attacked with acid to the face. But the mob boss who attacked him is kidnapped by rogue police officers who execute him and release the video though it shows Batman and Robin coming in at the end. The arrival of “the Executioners” seems to make the Joker’s interviews stand out and she focuses on him for her research, though he has nothing to do with the rogue officers. Dent recovers though the acid also caused brain damage, ironically taking away his empathy, and he publicly derides the failures of the system which makes the Executioners come to him looking for instructions. Dent’s plan is to release the inmates of either Arkham or Blackgate Prison to cause havoc in Gotham City to make the general pubic allow for literally executing offenders. The coin toss lands in favor of Arkham and they stage a raid on the Asylum to release the inmates, but once free Joker tells his fellow inmates that the Executioners are there to kill them which sets them off on a rampage on their rescuers. Harleen rushing into the Asylum to find Joker, not only her patient but now lover, kills a security guard to save Joker’s life then has a mental breakdown as a result and becomes Harley. Sejic did a wonderful job in building upon the foundations that Paul Dini and Bruce Timm laid in Batman: The Animated Series of Harley Quinn/Harleen Quinzel’s origin as Joker’s doctor to his henchwoman-lover. Taking advantage of the DC Black Label’s adult focus imprint, Sejic shows how Harleen’s slow mental spiral between reality and a living dream/nightmare develops throughout the book including a stunning final page that brings things into clear focus. Sejic includes references to previous incarnations of Joker in various Batman media adaptations now and again as nods to the past, which do not distract from the main story adds to the enjoyment of fans of the franchise. As a longtime fan of Sejic’s art, the book showcases it magnificently and frankly I wanted to go back through ignoring the text and study every panel again. Harleen is the story of an earnest, dedicated psychiatrist slowly through her own actions and skillful manipulation of her patient joins those she wanted to help. Stjepan Sejic’s wonderfully written and amazing drawn story is a must get for anyone that is a fan of the character or a fan of a well-constructed origin story.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Masterpiece
*by B***N on January 6, 2021*

Wow. The art is phenomenal, the Joker is that perfect balance of sinister madness and charming seduction. Harley Quinn finally gets the treatment she deserves as an intelligent young woman pulled into the insanity of a narcissistic psychopath. For once I resonated with Harley Quinn, more than I thought I ever could. Stjepan obviously knows humanity and is a master of his craft. I agree with others that this should totally be the definitive Quinn origin and that it does feel like The Killing Joke for Harley. The artist captures every human expression flawlessly, every subtlety in the sociopaths playbook, every technique of suspense and subplot perfectly interwoven into a satisfying tale that leaves me wanting to revisit this story again and again. If anyone has made me a comic book convert it is Stjepan Sejic. Stjepan gives Harley nuance and humanity while maintaining some of her more fun quirks, creating a character that is the perfect mix of strong and flawed, victim and villain, smart and naive, clumsy and sexy. Harleen is an excellent representation of what it’s like to experience emotional abuse and neglect, madness, bad days, resilience, and hope. A+
