With all the special issues and whatnot DC is releasing for this series, Harley Quinn has practically become an unofficial biweekly comic. But can you blame them when this series has become such a sales juggernaut? Harley Quinn Annual #1 is a more satisfying spinoff than the recent Harley Quinn Invades SDCC one-shot. It's more amusing and more focused on being generally silly than specifically trying to lampoon the comic book industry. Fans of the series will certainly want to add this issue to their pull list.
Not that Harley Quinn has ever been that big on continuity and overarching storylines and such, but this issue stands completely on its own and only builds on Harley's current status quo in a basic way. Harley takes it upon herself to rescue her good friend Poison Ivy from confinement in Arkham Asylum. But her plans quickly go awry when she encounters Ivy's two handlers - Dr. Bash and Dr. Bliss. One powerful hallucinogenic later, and the book basically degenerates into an "Elephants on Parade" dream sequence. Perfect for a Harley adventure, in other words.
