HARLEY + IVY in Harley Quinn: The Animated Series - The Eat. Bang! Kill. Tour
They are so cute!🥰
DC PRIDE #1 has me living for many different reasons so let's go through it story by story
The Wrong Side of the Looking Glass
the mad hatter storyline being pretty much a retelling of kate's upbringing and the fact that her being a lesbian is one part of that but not everything thank god
wonderland parallels keep you more interested in the story bc you know it's mad hatter, you just don't know why he's doing it; just another one of those "i know the ending so the question is how they got there"
By the Victors
constantine just being like that and trying to get gregorio and his husband in bed with him - my guy this is why you constantly run into exes and one night stands i swear
the fact that m and gregorio just casually team up just gets me bc this just further confirms that m will call his friends on missions not just because they're qualified (ref: m being unsure if extraño could undo the, and i'm paraphrasing here, "time blood magic") and calls his friends to join him just cause he can
m's reference to the love story between patroclus and achilles made my heart hurt since it kind of parallels him and andrew and i almost checked the writer before realizing that it was, of course, the one and only Steve Orlando - midpollo's saving grace
also can i just mention how much i love gregorio's costumes they show in this? becuase BOY are they a fantastic, dignified kind of hot; thank you Stephen Byrne
this midpollo cover art is killing me
Try the Girl
renee being a badass is always amazing
also the fact that she was admiring the defense attorney that would sometimes be arguing against her case is such an Inconvenient Crush that i would love expansion on
i love that you can see the lipstick stain on her mask - that's the reality of kissing in costume, kids
the way they draw all the women's outfits has me so happy and i esp. love renee, valeria's hair as well as the question's coat - it's just so nice to look at (all my love to Skylar Partridge and José Villarrubia)
Another Word for a Truck to Move Your Furniture
ant harley and aunt pam being antiheroes soothes all my mortal wounds
btw i love how Amy Reeder draws them; they have such a bad history of being sexualized and it struck me when i finished reading that not once was i uncomfortable with the angles or body proportions and i got to read two antiheroes who are women and bisexuals! and being able to be comfortable with their framing and writing the whole time
harley having cartoon logic as her meta ability is so close i can taste it
the coloring is gorgeous - thank you Marissa Louise
also this format of people arguing while also beating up a villain or carrying out a complex plan is my favorite - i love the dynamic and the dialogue of relationship speak and fighting a large plant monster
i think harley's mallet is alive and honestly that's great for her
"He's the Light of My Life!"
i'm going to be impressed with myself if i don't cry at alan and todd's story
damon being impatient to meet alan is great and i love the flashbacks to when father fought son like "no duh we have issues making smalltalk"
JIMMY AND ALAN I'M GOING TO CRY HE LOST HIS LOVER IN THE TRAIN CRASH THEN BECAME A GL
alan being bad with common slang in the lgbtq+ community is such an Old Queer staple
the fact that they're still kind of awkward at the end but working on getting to know each other is such a breath of the fresh air that is real life familial relationships
Clothes, Makeup, Gift
andy's whole aesthetic is offending me with how cute it is and good lord Lisa Sterle draws us enbys really well
jesse with those suspenders
jesse with those hips! i'm glad we have a non-binary character that doesn't look like a waify cis male
getting real adhd vibes for jesse rn like repeating the same words over and over in order to remember them yes that's my life
Be Gay, Do Crime
whoever pitched the title idea has my ultimate respect - it's not often that queer culture references make it in
plus size queer antihero; dc my guy are you trying to get my money because here it is- take it
they got gen z slang right! i'm impressed; usually i say "bougie" instead of "boug" but hey do you
pied piper being responsible but also not is such a chaotic good move that i love
also drummer boy's costume kind of reminds me of those old rock star ones
Date Night
yes my girl nia's just checking in with her mom during patrol
her little dream journal is such a cute idea that she wakes up and just haphazardly scrawls it in there
"cute face" yes the most important piece of information
her full body panel with the moon in the background is just amazing - thank you Luciano Vecchio and Rex Lokus
this action is pretty hq not gonna lie
love that brainy is just like "well ok i guess we have an unconscious criminal with us; how are you liking the movie?"
tl;dr i enjoyed it

story reviews (1-5 of 10) under the cut - spoiler free!
Phil Jimenez's forward is really sweet ode to being gay having a good time - a good read, don't skip over it!
Love's Lightning Heart (Earth-36) On a speedster and his lantern... basically a Halbarry AU written by Grant Morrison; art by Hayden Sherman; colors by Marissa Louise; and lettering by Aditya Bidikar - very cute! a little adventure story through time and space about saving your boyfriend :) - about the trials (non-graphic) you'd go through to save your loved one - love love love the lineart - colors really added to the storytelling's tone - intriguing story with happy ending - however I wish they'd actually explain some of the start because I was confused as to the exigence of the story P.S. for anyone unfamiliar, Halbarry refers to a romantic relationship between Hal Jordan GL and Barry Allen Flash - I'm p sure it originated from some of the mid 2010s animated movies but honestly idk
And Baby Makes Three Crush crash lands into Harley and Ivy's honeymoon! written by Leah Williams; art by Paulina Ganucheau; and lettering by Frank Cvetkovic - your obligatory Harlivy story! as per usual they're adorable - I didn't know I needed my chill moms with a reluctant teen but here we are - they really uplift Crush's spirit and make her happy :#D - look out for the "uwu" emoticon it's EVERYWHERE - art is SO CUTE and the colors really add to the fun!
Hey, Stranger Connor Hawke and Tim Drake catch up... and work some things out written by Nadia Shammas; art by Bruka Jones; colors by Tamra Bonvillain; and lettering by Frank Cvetkovic - LOVE seeing the ace rep post coming out! glad they didn't let him fall by the wayside - to keep this spoiler free I'll just say they have a well-written conversation about being there for each other when you come out - high recommend honestly - plus the art and colors really match the down to earth tone (the lineart is so cleannn) - Damian is also here! he gets mentioned a bit and pops in at the end
Subspace Transmission Fast and slow work together so Julien can figure out what he wants >>no, this isn't about subspace in the dom/sub kink sense<;< art and writing by A. L. Kaplan and lettering by Aditya Bidikar - some background: Jess Chambers is Flash on Earth 11 and nonbinary; Julien "Jules" Jourdain is new hero who can use the Slow Force to drain people's abilities who's also a trans man - Julien is real freaked out that his power can hurt people so Jess tries to teach him to relax and use his powers well - the art's delicious and I like the coloring - but I don't really love how Jess and Jules were drawn (imo) to look more feminine - no real mention of their identities here but Jess oozes nonbinary and there are some mentions of general transness - high recommend again, I just really like the vibes of this story
Anniversary Midnighter and Apollo talk about the queerphobia recently and what they're going to do about it written by Josh Trujillo; art by Don Aguillo; and lettering by Lucas Gattoni - to be frank, this was my least favorite story and I love Midnighter and Apollo - the message, to me, is muddled by the poor writing - instead of letting him be more nuanced, they basically give Midnighter some angry tweets to say (I miss Steve Orlando) - and make Apollo be the "but violence isn't the answer!" guy - this couple is a part of queer comic history (confirmed couple in the 90s, kissed in 1999, married in 2002, adopted and raised a little girl not long after) and the way they've been pigeonholed into "young couple who're on-again-off-again and don't agree on how to be gay" is really not giving them justice - also the tone doesn't completely match since the most recent queerphobia is pretty heavily transphobic and less so homophobic
next 5 story reviews from DC PRIDE 2023 coming soon...
