Wonderful issue. Harley is so naive, I'm sorry for her.
The cover was great. Well done Carlos.
5 stars from me.

I really do love the way this one ends. That is so fitting for the Joker, not seeing a setback, just seeing that he's been noticed, and had an effect and leaving the city scared of his very existence. That's Joker  The other characters are very interesting throughout this as well. Renee and Ivy dealing with each other on tenterhooks, just not sure what to say or do with each other; Ivy being furious at Joker for his unintentioned attack on her attack on her domain; and poor Harley. You're right, Riz, Harley is rather pathetic, and yet, her personality keeps me from just writing her off. She's fun and enjoyable to read, even as her flaws keep her in a pathetic state. Good stuff. I don't really like villain books, but so far, so good! Take care Don |

Harley willingly submitting to Joker's abusive relationship is the most terrifying thing of all.
And Ivy is only your ally today friends, only today.
Harley vs Ivy in the future would be something to see!

Great story I like the Ivy connection to the plants and how Harley is not half bad in a cat fight..  |

I thought this was another great thrill ride, Gotham Girls remains a series that just won't let up with inventive, engaging mysteries and full to the brim with top-notch characterization.
Coming off the heels of the tension-filled arc, you throw us hip deep into another, the long suffering Gotham City seems destined to be put through the wringers physically, mentally and psychologically here in this series and as a reader I enjoy the skill to which you make that happen. You just get sucked into the story even as you're glad you don't live anywhere near there.
Harley and Ivy shine this issue, Harley forever the tragic figure so lost and yet you just know this is only the tip of the iceburg she'll be subjected to and in turn, subjecting the rest of the city to, and the only savior in sight is equally twisted and perhaps even more lost than she in Poison Ivy.
You just know the Batgirl and Ivy team-up can't end well and yet you make it seem completely plausible in a desperate times call for desperate measures sort of way.
Harley is caputred perfectly here, perhaps even more than any any other time in the seriess to date, the confrontation scene between the three women is just so tension filled and well crafted, all three get the chance to shine and none more so than Harley, here she goes from quirky to terrifying in a very real way.
The Joker too is just done so well, as I reader I almost can't help but root for him in some twisted sort of way. He's capable of some really messed up things, and you just take that prospect and run with it. You just know he's going to come back bigger and better.
But the prospect of a favor owed to Poison Ivy? That might be the most terrifying thing of all.
