This book, I think, has an interesting premise to it. Ivy and Harley are currently living with Eddie Nigma, the Riddler. But . . it's not really by choice. Ivy's got him pretty doped up so, he just agrees with everything she tells him. These 2 should be pretty well off, since Selina gave them $30 million of Hush's money. But . . Ivy's sent hers off to various eco-friendly movements, and Harley? Harley's running through hers like the Joker runs through boutonnieres. Anyways, Ivy happens along Selina as she trying to save a woman from an attacker. He's some new guy in town, with a gimmick, trying to make a name for himself. However, Ivy notices that Selina's not moving as fast as she used to, and she's not hitting with the same power. It has something to do with what Hush put her through, but . . we aren't going to find out any more about that this issue. Anyways, long story short, Selina has a lead on an abandoned property . . an animal shelter of all things, and she offers to make it the new home for this trio of sassy ladies. First Ivy checks with Zatanna to make sure she didn't put some kind of mind-control on Selina when she magically healed her from her heart operation . . Ivy wants to make sure Selina isn't trying to lead them down the path of righteousness. Then once they're in their new digs . . "If you're really serious about this 'all for one' stuff, you'll be glad to tell us . . who is Batman?" This should be an interesting grouping of individuals. I think Harley will pretty much go along with whatever the other 2 decide, but . . I'd think there would be a little power struggle between Ivy and Selina. Ivy definitely has the demeanor and arrogance to be their leader, but . . Selina has the better head on her shoulders. But then . . Ivy's the most powerful of them all. She's probably the one that needs the others the least. Which leads me to another question which occurs to me . . could this be a rotating cast? I don't know. It's to early to tell. But, I like what Paul Dini and Guillem March are doing so far. I don't think it'll have the same chemistry as Birds of Prey, but . . we'll just have to wait and see how this all plays out.
