Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy (USA) di Jody Houser

[Il Paladino del Buonsenso]

Sono state "insieme" già altre volte in passato. Anche nella serie animata.

Si lo so, ma è sempre un ammiccamento con doppi sensi, questa praticamente è la serie dove sono proprio insieme palesemente da coppia "seria"?

Altro che ammiccamenti, nelle Sirene di Gotham (2009) è palesato in grande stile

[Kenshiro]

Serie che potrebbe interessarmi, ma dovrei capire le intenzioni del team: cosa vogliono fare? Un semplice on the road, o definire le due come una coppa bi nel DCU?

Nel primo potrebbe anche interessarmi un minimo, nel secondo sta bene dove stà.

[Il Paladino del Buonsenso]

Io più che altro sono preoccupato che possa essere una copia della serie di Harley Quinn del DCyou, con esplosioni a caso e battutacce da prima elementare. In quel caso, la schiverò tipo Neo con i proiettili.

Qualcosa alla Palmiotti/Conner, penso.
Forse la prendo in TP.

[Kenshiro]

Mi sa che sfoglio in fumetteria.
Mi sono già scottato con il Batman che Ride (di cui è uscito il volume appena un mese dopo la conclusione), con le mini (da 6 numeri in giù) meglio andarci con i piedi di strapiombo.
Belli i disegni. Ma fosse una roba alla Conner/Palmiotti..

Mi sa che sazierò la mia sete di HQ con Harleen di Sejic.

[Kenshiro]

Sfogliato in fumetteria, mi è sembrata una roba più seria di quella della Conner.
Sinceramente non mi ha attratto, dovrebbe concentrarsi principalmente sulla relazione tra le due, di on the road non credo ci sarà molto.

'Rama Rating: 8 out of 10

Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy #1 picks up where Heroes in Crisis left off, as Jody Houser and Adriana Melo use Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy's characters to beautifully showcase the consequences and emotional resonance that linger from this controversial event. Both Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy have been playing a balancing act on the line between good and evil for the past couple of years. With this series, Harley finally makes a decision on which side she will fall on as she tries to reconnect with her semi-dead girlfriend. This premiere does a great job at showing the lengths Harley will go for her puddin', even if that means becoming a hero.

This issue is all about change, and the adjustments the couple has to make to keep their relationship intact, literally. They're even willing to sink so low as to move to the suburbs, which is a big adjustment for these Gotham City Sirens. It's fun to see them in a different environment, and how this changes their interactions with each other, especially as other sides of the DC universe try to creep into their private lives – like Lex Luthor and The Green. Houser explores the quieter side of their dynamic, which is a nice change of pace for these anti-heroes. The story gives more real estate for their romance, and this room allows Houser to paint a clearer picture of their relationship, an aspect I feel other in-continuity DC titles have skimped on in the past.

Melo and Hi-Fi bring a wonderful brightness to this emotional storyline with Harley's humor and their overall cheery color palette. The art team excels at balancing Harley's lighter side with Ivy's new and even colder persona. The story shines the most when their polarizing personalities come together to tell a very poignant story about their relationship. This juxtaposition is placed nicely in one of the issue's earlier scenes, where Harley and Ivy try to go on a shopping spree. All Harley wants to do is shop lift and find nice clothes with her girlfriend, but instead she finds Ivy's body converting into leaves. Melo beautifully captures the switch between happy and frantic when Harley tries to save Ivy. She is doing everything in her power not to lose her, but she doesn't want to show this fear to Ivy. We only see this with her internal dialogue and during her most private moments.

Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy #1 doesn't only take a deep dive into their relationship, but it also plants the seeds to explore more of The Green and how the events of Heroes in Crisis affected this side of DC's mythos. It's a great follow up to the event as it gives time for these characters to breathe. I'm happy to see DC lending this couple the much-needed spotlight that they deserve, and using Ivy's drastic/controversial change as a positive catalyst to more emotional storytelling about Ivy and Harley's love for each other.

Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy #1 (Published by DC; Review by Oscar Maltby; 'Rama Rating: 8 out of 10):

Poison Ivy's struggling to keep it together – literally! Jody Houser and Adriena Melo kick off an six-part miniseries with Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy #1, chronicling the trials and tribulations of rebuilding their lives after Ivy's leafy rebirth. Hi-Fi's colors revel in the contrast between the pale white of Harley, her crimson wardrobe and Ivy's vibrantly green complexion whilst Melo's textured pencils pick out all the intricate details of Harley and Ivy's world – from out-of-place strand of hair to stray leaf. Her rendition of The Floronic Man is a real visual highlight. On the script front, Houser's story provides some solid character beats for both Harley and Ivy – each one suffering a different flavor of existential crisis. There's a relatable element to Harley second-guessing herself here, whilst Ivy's struggle to regain her humanity tugs at the heart-strings – with a healthy dose of body horror to mix things up. Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy #1 proves yet again that these two together are a winning combination.

Ok.. si parte già con i problemi per le due protagoniste, diciamo più per Poison Ivy.
Sono più curioso per il pg comparso alla fine e, appunto, per Poison, che è collegata a lui.

Harley potrebbe anche essere assente, in questo numero uno l'attenzione è altrove..

It's a battle for the Green that is likely to leave a lot of people black and blue in this frantic first look at this week's Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy #2.

Ok, questo numero mi è piaciuto di più, niente di che eh, però portare avanti la trama del Green lo trovo molto interessante.
