Synopsis
When Harley Quinn finds a Genie's bottle and rubs it, what will she do with the unlimited wishes he bestows on her? How can even the simplest request become warped in the wishing process? Will Harley Quinn get everything she's ever wanted, or will this be a nightmare she'll want to forget?
Harley Quinn: Be Careful What You Wish For (One-Shot) by Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Chad Hardin
★★★★★
Genre: Comic/Superhero/Villain
Release Date: February 2016

On My Shelf: Yes
This was a fun little comic! To be honest, I'd never read a Harley Quinn comic before this one. I know her character and have read comics with her in it but none that are about her. However, I have a close friend who really likes Harley, so I knew I would love this (especially since the writer has written the comic series my friend loves!).
This is a single-issue comic, so don't expect anything flashy or long, but do expect some great jokes and an interesting story. Harley makes a few wishes, but none of them turn out how she expects them too. I guess you're supposed to read the fine print when you find a genie in a bottle. I really enjoyed all the jokes in this comic. Some even made me laugh out loud.
I also found that the storyline held its own, was easy to follow, and kept me interested to the last page, something that can be hard to do with only 32 pages! This was so fun to peruse solely for the story, but the art really came alive as well. I loved the colors and the art style. It felt so Harley-esque. I found this comic to be fitting of everything I know of Harley-by-association.
Overall, I highly recommend checking this out if you get the chance!
