Well, it appears that a patient of Dr. Quinzel from the Arkham Asylum has kicked the bucket and left a nice surprise for the good doctor in her will. This comes at a good time because her storage space was recently destroyed. Harley Quinn packed up whatever she had left and headed out on the open road for the Coney Island apartment building that was left to her in the will. With rental apartments, storage space, business rentals and huge fourth floor accommodations for herself, she is ecstatic. That is until she is told about the back taxes, the real estate taxes, the insurance and the maintenance costs to keep the building in her name!
The building sits above a literal freak show, which also provides the building with most of its tenants. Big Tony, who is a little person with a well-chiseled body, takes an immediate liking to our heroine. Needless to say, many of the tenants are behind on their rent, including Big Tony. Realizing that she is going to have to get a job to help keep her afloat with the building's expenses, she applies at the Free Spirit Assisted Living Home as a therapist. In addition, she auditions for a spot on a roller derby team. To make matters worse, someone has put a hit out on Ms. Quinn.
Amanda Connor and Jimmy Palmiotti came up with the story, while Chad Hardin (artist) and Alex Sinclair (colorist) bring Harley Quinn to life with their amazing graphic visuals. To top it all off, this issue was only one dollar. While the story is still fun to read, it was originally published by DC six years ago. For some readers that might seem silly, but fortunately for me, I didn't read it the first time around. I found it interesting that placed right next to "DC" are the words "Dollar Comics." This book is actually a lead-in to the "Harley Quinn Volume 1: Hot In The City" graphic novel. Call me crazy, but I can't get enough of Harley Quinn.
