Harley Quinn #65 — The Revenge Squad's Shadow Leader is Finally Revealed

Elliott Kalan and Carlos Olivares deliver a pivotal moment for the Revenge Squad. When Harley discovers her secret leader's true identity, the revelation is so shocking it leaves her speechless. A fun, chaotic issue that redefines the group's dynamic.

There is a specific kind of joy in watching Harley Quinn try to keep her life together while the world burns around her. It’s a balancing act of chaos and genuine heart, and that’s exactly what makes this run so delightful to watch unfold. You don’t need to know every detail of the past to get swept up in the current momentum, but if you’ve been following the squad, this next plot twist is the kind of moment that makes you gasp out loud.

The premise here is deliciously simple: Harley is trying to run the Revenge Squad, but she’s operating in the dark about who is actually pulling the strings. She thinks she knows the game, but the person she least expects to be the mastermind is stepping into the light. It’s the kind of reveal that turns everything you thought you knew upside down. Harley’s reaction is pure, unadulterated shock, and it’s written with a level of humor that only Elliott Kalan can deliver.

The art from Carlos Olivares is a perfect match for this kind of high-energy comedy. He captures Harley’s frantic energy and the absurdity of the situation with a loose, expressive style that feels alive. You can practically hear her voice in the panels as she processes the betrayal. It’s vibrant, funny, and visually engaging, making it easy to lose yourself in the scene for a few pages.

If you’re already a fan of Harley’s adventures, you know how much I love the way this team balances the silly with the sentimental. The way the humor lands here relies on character, not just punchlines. It’s funny because it’s true to who she is, and that authenticity makes the reveal feel earned rather than random.

I’m really enjoying this direction for the series. It’s a great place to jump in if you’ve been on the fence, or a great reminder of why you started reading it. Trust me, you’re going to want to see how Harley handles this new reality. It’s a fun, chaotic ride that I think you’ll love.
