Another shot at the kids here. And we all know how much they love the Batman. Throw in the wise-cracking Robin, and 2 teenage girls, and you have the perfect mix for the teenage crowd out there. Sure the girls are Harley and Ivy, but when you're a pre-pubescent boy . . a girl is a girl. Am I right? These books are just fun to read. Sure they're simple, and have 1 issue plots, but . . so what. Simple is good sometimes. And with that mixture, these books end up being a lot of fun to read. Harley and Ivy are hilarious. They're the perfect match for each other. Only they would be able to pull mayhem all over Gotham, and still have a good time while doing it. All because Harley decided she wanted to get out of Arkham for the night. Sure these books aren't everybody's cup of tea. They aren't meant to be. They're specifically aimed at the younger audience. But I still think they're a nice change of pace from the multi-issue epics going on out there all of the time. If you haven't . . . try them. I think you'll like 'em.
