So let me get this out of the way: I loved Breaking Glass.

This is definitely a new take on Harley’s story, but one I thoroughly enjoyed. The bonds made with the other characters in this story – Harley’s bond with Mama, and the other queens, is a touching story of family being more than just blood.

Honestly, this is such an enjoyable story, all around. Seeing the relationship with Ivy develop, the dark, polarizing effects the Joker has on Harleen, and her struggle between walking the path of angels or demons – it’s all such an interesting, new version that pulls you in.

Beyond even the story, this is visually on of the most beautiful stories involving Harley. From her character designs, to wardrobe evolution, and emoionally impactful scenes – this book is stunning. The uses of color, sometimes monochromatic, other times bursts of colors that draw out so much in a scene that you take away more than just what’s written.

Plus, take a close look at several background details throughout the book – they’re absolutely perfect! Steve Pugh absolutely killed it, in this book.

I felt like the story was left open ended enough that we could have a sequel – which I would LOVE. Who do I need to bug at DC for more Harleen from Mariko Tamaki and Steve Pugh?

The writing, the art, the lettering (which is also great, and done by Carlos Mangual), is all so perfect together.

Seriously, though. If you love Harley, definitely check out Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass, and enjoy this retelling of my favorite girl’s origin story.
