The Batman Adventures: Mad Love and Other Stories by Klaus Janson, Paul Dini, Mike Parobeck, Glen Murakami, Dan DeCarlo, Bruce Timm, Matt Wagner
3.0
A nice collection of one-shots with writing and art from the Batman animated series.
It's nice seeing Harley in her old costume but jeez I didn't need to be reminded how abusive her relationship with the Joker was. It sucks I guess it's a pretty critical part of her story. The animated series had some nice episodes where she ditches him though, I feel like the redemption element is critical to me enjoying Harley as character.
The other short stories were okay. A lot of them I feel like I've already read before, perhaps they were used in the actual show later on or maybe I read them online. They were the definition of 'okay' though.
The art is bliss. These are the characters I grew up with and I appreciate that a lot.
Recommended if you like Harley, domestic abuse, and Batman the animated series.
