From the back of the book- Harleen is a tough, outspoken, rebellious kid who lives in a ramshackle apartment above a karaoke cabaret owned by a drag queen named MAMA. Ever since Harleen's parents split, MAMA has been her only family. When the cabaret becomes the next victim in the wave of gentrification that's taking over the neighborhood, Harleen gets mad.
When Harleen decides to turn her anger into action, she is faced with two choices: join Ivy, who's campaigning to make the neighborhood a better place to live, or join The Joker, who plans to take down Gotham one corporation at a time.
Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass is at once a tale of the classic Harley readers know and love, and a heartfelt story about the choices teenagers make and how they can define--or destroy--their lives. This is the first title in DC's new line of original graphic novels for middle grade and young adult readers.
Review- This is a pretty good but not great re-imagining of Harley and her origins. Harley’s mother is working on a cruise so Harley has been sent to live with her grandmother. But her grandmother is dead, so Harley improvises and she stays with her grandmother’s landlord. She goes to Gotham high and gets involved with others and the community problems. My main issue with this comic is that it changes how smart Harley is. She is not dumb but she not as smart as she should be. That is my only problem with this comic, the art is good, the characters are interesting and fun, and the overall plot is interesting. I would recommend this comic.
I give this graphic novel a Three out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this book from my local library.
