I really dig what Jimmy and Amanda are doing with these two books. They are probably my favorite corner of the DCU right now.

I like what Jimmy and Amanda are doing but I do miss "broken Harley". The interplay between her and the Joker is always so fascinating for me. I know it isn't for everyone but I do like that characterization (which is something the New 52 definitely lacks, considering how the Joker is never really around).

Starfire is one of my favorite characters and I wanted to like it. But the tone bothers me a ton, I can't do it. I'm glad other people enjoy it.

I'd rather Dick be in Harley *cough* *cough*. And I wouldn't mind him turning up in her book for a few issues either.

Is Starfire any good? I've been thinking of picking it up, but I'm not sure.

I don't think you can take away Harley's abusive relationship with the Joker just like you can't take away Batman's abusive relationship with Gotham. It's intrinsic to the character. You can try to move her away for a time but I think she will always go back because it is where she is the most popular. It's just with how they have used the Joker's character in the New 52 you can't see them really play with their dynamic together because the Joker is constantly off the table.

Well, let's face it, the charm of the Harley in the current book has nothing to do with past Harley's. I enjoy the book just fine, but I have a hard time reconciling Harley's outlook in this book with her traditional murderous, psycho, representations (which is still at play over in New Suicide Squad - hard to believe this is the same character).
Again, not a big deal, but clearly different visions of the character not really meant to work together.
