This new mini-series flashes back to late 2014, when Harley donned a new superhero costume and became the sidekick of an amnesic Power Girl. If you're keeping score, Harley Quinn & Power Girl takes place in between two panels in Harley Quinn #13, as the two heroines were briefly teleported off-planet for a series of unseen misadventures. Well, those misadventures are unseen no longer. If you just want more good, silly fun involving this unlikely Dynamic Duo, Harley Quinn & Power Girl #1 delivers the goods.
This mini-series brings in another co-writer alongside regular series writers Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti. Justin Gray isn't exactly a stranger to working with that duo, and as a result, this book reads like a very natural extension of the main series. There's little in the way of pathos or emotional conflict here. Unlike the main Harley Quinn comic, Harley doesn't fret over her mountain of responsibilities or her place in the world. She and PG merely bounce from one kooky situation to the next. Along the way, the writers find ample room to lampoon '70s funk culture and Star Wars, always good topics for parody. There's plenty of humor directed at the leading ladies themselves, as well as at the type of people who would judge someone like Kara based solely on her costume.
