I'll admit that it's very much a matter of taste, but Conner and Palmiotti's anarchic and deliberately over-the-top run on Harley Quinn to be highly enjoyable and so it's great to see them back here. It follows on more directly from their run than from what we've seen since, with many of the old characters back again, albeit taking a back seat to the Birds of Prey (the line-up from the film, of course) as supporting cast. The ‘Black Label' tag also allows them to go further than they could before, with graphic violence and quite a lot of swearing alongside the crazy hi-jinks - the former effectively off-setting the humour. There's also a fair bit of nudity although (as Harley herself complains during one of the obligatory dream sequences) it's all implied and... well, there's plenty of innuendo, but there always was. Yeah, it's hardly what you'd call sophisticated humour, but it's great fun, and that's what counts.
