New York Times Bestseller!
Dr. Harleen Quinzel has a theory: mental illness is a survival mechanism. As she seeks to help the broken souls of Gotham City piece together their sanity she will become the one thing she fears the most: one of them. A bold new retelling of the tragic origin of Harley Quinn told through the eyes of the only person who knows her better than anyone: Harleen.
A young psychiatrist with a potential cure for the madness that haunts Gotham City, Dr. Harleen Quinzel must prove her revolutionary theory to a skeptical establishment by delving into the disturbed minds of Arkham Asylum's deadliest inmates. But the more time she spends with her criminally insane subjects, the closer she is drawn to one patient in particular--and the further she falls away from reality. The birth of legendary antihero Harley Quinn and the shocking origins of her twisted romance with the Joker are revealed in Harleen, a stunning new tale of love and obsession written and illustrated by renowned comics storyteller Stjepan Sejic (Aquaman: Underworld, Sunstone).

Star Rating: —> 5 [ BRILLIANT ] STARS !
Oh My God! This was the Harley Quinn story I always (never knew that I) needed! The story was SO well written... i am so beyond excited right now. The way Šejić approached Harley’s origin story was so brilliant... it had me absolutely captivated, holding my breath, waiting for what was to come next with giddiness, excitement, and even anxiety, from page one... and I’ve already read this story hundreds upon hundreds of times! But THIS? The way it was written just stands out from anything i’ve read before.
If you are a Harley Quinn lover... YOU HAVE TO PICK THIS UP. It’s not even up for debate !
The ART! My God it was EXCEPTIONAL! The whole thing was honestly exceptional. I went into this expecting greatness from reading friends’ reviews... but it is another thing to see it with your own eyes.
It truly is a thing of rare beauty. PHEW! Šejić has talent that really hit me over the head with a baseball bat! I can’t even... words... what...? I am too excited and in awe at the moment and my brain is all fuzzy from such (or maybe it was the baseball bat? Who can tell?)
