I think Paul Dini is doing a great job with these characters here. I love the way that he's portraying all 3 of our sirens . . Catwoman, Ivy and Harley Quinn. As long as the stories and the character development remain as strong as they have through these first 5 issues, I can see this book being around for quite a while. To be honest, they could've included these characters, and their stories in the Streets of Gotham book, but . . I'm glad that they realized that they had a strong enough group of women here to warrant their own title. Plus, as any comic geek will tell you . . nothing looks hotter than a 'bad-girl'. Anyways, this issue starts out with Selina and Ivy being pissed about the Joker just blowing up their new lair. Harley's kind of on the fence. 'He could of at least finished us off with a funny gag!' It takes their joint effort to get through to her, and make her realize the seriousness of the situation. 'Wake up, Harley! This is Life or Death! Joker may have originally thought of you as a willing patsy, but eventually he let you in. Whether he meant to or not, he shared things with you he'd never tell another living soul. Did you really think he'd let you out unscathed?' So anyways, long story short, they go after him only to find out that it's not really the Joker that's trying to kill them, but rather his first partner in crime, Gaggy! 'That's Gagsworth A Gagsworthy to you, SKANK!' For some reason, after all these years, he's decided that he's jealous of Harley. By the end of the issue it looks like he may be able to follow through on his threats. Catwoman is stuck in a pit of Hyenas. Ivy is sucking down a plastic mask. And Gaggy has a knife to Harley's throat. Guillem March is also doing a great job with the art. Not only do I like his style, but he's really got a great sense for story-flow. I love the way his characters move between panels. All in all, I think this book is a hit. As long as enough people pick it up to read it.
