The art is the same as the writing in many respects here: it certainly isnвЂ™t bad, but it leaves a lot to be desired. The conversation between Harley and Ivy between the two setpieces is interesting enough: the concept of feeling betrayed by the heroes who promised to get you help is an interesting one. They talk for a scene about how IvyвЂ™s holding up after Heroes in Crisis, and finally, they walk into the next trap for issue 2 (now with Mad Hatter!). They escape the Floronic Man, who appeared at the end of issue one. Unfortunately, there isnвЂ™t much to say about this issue. HouserвЂ™s writing is something I enjoy вЂ“ sheвЂ™s a direct writer and knows when to let the images speak for themselves.

What makes this book out of all of them worth your money? Sadly, I can think of fewer reasons than I could for issue 1. But IвЂ™m poor as hell, and I have to factor in the money factor when talking about a comic. ItвЂ™s quite easy to read, and I imagine will be considered rather harmless when reading this issue in a trade presuming the rest of the book is more at the level of the quality in the first issue. But I canвЂ™t help but dislike it, and I think to calmly explain why a helpful and constructive experience for everyone involved. These are talented people working on these products, and it shows on the pages. Three of the four comics IвЂ™ve read this week havenвЂ™t done much for me, and thatвЂ™s not something I enjoy вЂ“ I donвЂ™t sit down at my desk to look at the hard work of industry professionals I have a lot of respect for and think, вЂњhow can I tear that work down?вЂќ to myself. I hope itвЂ™s quite clear that I donвЂ™t want to dislike this issue. Or, you know, the other reasons IвЂ™ll be diving into for the rest of this review.
