The core Harley Quinn series took a somewhat darker turn this month, which makes the existence of this spinoff comic all the more appealing. Harley Quinn & Power Girl features Harley at her most lighthearted and fun. There's little room for pathos in this epic tale of angry space gods, flying cat beasts and scantily clad heroes. The plot is beginning to feel stretched thin, but the book still offers ample entertainment.
In such a cheesecake-heavy book, it's good to see the creative team opting for the equal opportunity approach. Vartox spends the majority of this issue clad in a Slave Leia-style bikini (until the point where he sheds even that little bit of modesty). Once the story shifts from a brainwashed Vartox waging war on Power Girl to Vartox regaining his senses and flirting with every woman in earshot, the situation makes for a lot of comedy. Pairing the shameless ladies man with the exasperated heroine is hardly anything new, but the oddball characters and their equally odd setting make the formula feel fresh again. Couple that with Harley gaining a new noble steed, and this issue offers no shortage of comedy and zaniness. The writers are really pushing the premise for all its worth in that regard.
