We’re currently a week out from Suicide Squad, DC’s latest attempt to salvage the flaming wreckage
of their cinematic universe. I
could go on and on about how bizarre it is that the people with the biggest
stable of superheroes imaginable keep consistatly getting one-upped by the
likes of Ant-Man and Thor (seriously, 9 years ago who outside the comics fandom
even knew those guys existed?) but that’s not the point of this particular
column. No, we gather together
today because there’s nothing topical happening this week related to comics but
I have a compulsive need to make this show link to something.
As such, we’re getting a head start on Suicide Squad by looking at the career
of its most prominent member in the advertisements: Harley Quinn. Originating in the Batman animated series of 1992 before immigrating to the comics and
taking up residence there for 20 years as her character evolved from tragedy to
comedy to something close to DC’s Deadpool. So, let us celebrate this glorious harlequin of comics and
dive into the shallow end to get the cover story on the top 15 Harley Quinn
comic covers.
