Harley Quinn faces her most chaotic threat yet in #64: the Harley Quinn Revenge Squad. Elliott Kalan and Carlos Olivares deliver a hilarious, high-energy romp as Harley battles a roster of villains who are somehow worse than her own worst day.

There is a specific kind of magic that happens when a writer who grew up loving the character takes the helm. Elliott Kalan brings that genuine, fan-first energy to Harley Quinn #64, turning the book into a celebration of her chaotic legacy while keeping the momentum rolling. It’s not just another issue; it’s a chance to see Harley at her most unapologetically herself, surrounded by the kind of absurdity that makes her world so endlessly entertaining.

In this latest drops, Harley isn’t just fighting for her life; she’s fighting for her brand. The Harley Quinn Revenge Squad has assembled, and they are a delightfully terrible collection of misfits. We’re talking about the legally distinct hunter guy, the guy with backward arms, penny pinchers, corporate security types, tech bros, and a shadowy leader who could make Lex Luthor’s flower garden wilt. It’s a roster of enemies so bad they couldn’t be locked away even if you had an infinite amount of deep holes.

Carlos Olivares’ art on this one is a perfect match for the tone. His linework captures Harley’s kinetic energy and the squad’s grotesque charm with equal ease. The way he frames the chaos, the slapstick timing, and the sheer volume of threats on page gives you a sense of overwhelming, fun-filled danger. You can practically hear the punchlines landing before they even happen. It’s visual storytelling that trusts the reader to keep up with the insanity.

If you’ve ever loved the idea of Harley Quinn having to clean up her own messes, or if you just enjoy watching her dismantle a team of villains who think they’re worse than her, this is the one. Kalan’s script is sharp, funny, and deeply rooted in the character’s history without getting bogged down in it. It’s a standalone fun that rewards long-time fans and welcomes newcomers with open arms.

Keep an eye out for the cover by Brandt & Stein, which does a fantastic job of capturing the squad’s unhinged vibe. It’s a great visual hook that sets the stage for the mayhem inside. And while you’re grabbing Harley, you might want to peek at the other recent DC arrivals—there’s a whole lot of good stuff hitting shelves, and this is one stack that definitely deserves your attention.
