Book Summary: “ANGRY BIRD” part two! The Penguin didn’t come to Brooklyn alone this time...he’s put out an open invitation for some of Gotham City’s worst to join him in his new criminal empire, as long as they’re willing to hold off Harley Quinn! And when we say “worst,” we mean worst! Film Freak? Egghead? Condiment King?! Nateman’s Hot Dogs is gonna have a lot to say about that...
Book Review: This issue picks up where the last issue has pretty much left off.

Harley has begun her new life in the Big Apple far away from her friends in Coney Island. Unfortunately for those crew members, they are currently dealing with some big problems and these problems are in the form of big enemies like that of Mr. Freeze. This is rather big for Harley's former crew mainly due to the fact that this enemy normally doesn't stray far from the city and far from Batman. So now they are trying to figure out exactly why he is here and who has brought him.

As for Harley herself, she is having her own problems with the Gorilla Gang. Of course Harley isn't one to bite her tongue and not have a pun or two spill from her lips. Unfortunately for Harley, these guys are not amused with her puns and nearly toss her over the edge of the Empire State Building when Red Tool appears to save her.

And then there is Killer Croc. Exactly what is he up to? That is a question I am sure we are about to find out in our next issue.

Things continue to get worse for Harley's gang and no matter how hard one of them tries to get ahold of her, she doesn't seem to be taking their calls. So now they are forced to face Mr. Freeze and his cold takeover of Coney Island.


I am still unsure of this series now. I mean I understand why Harley seemed to have walked away from Coney Island. There are too many bad memories there for her right now but at the same time, why push everyone away? I know there is a reason behind everything when it comes to Harley but she is leaving her team to be torn apart by the enemies of Batman. I just don't see Harley being this selfish. She has never pegged me as one. She has always loved and cared for her crew so why now ignore them all together? I'm just trying to understand this sudden change in Harley.

I suppose my questions won't really be answered until the next issue. So we shall see.
