Please tell us what you thought!
And coming next month: We saw Jonathan Crane make his way home to Gotham, but we have yet to see the Scarecrow! Get yourself a front-row seat, cause it's gonna be a bad day for everyone.
Also, I'd like to advertise here and now so I have time to get on this. After issue 12, I'm gonna put out a Gotham Girls 'Do-Over' Annual, and I'm taking requests! What scenes would you like to have seen play out differently? Whether silly, flirty, funny, whatever, tell me what you the readers would want. either reply here, or send me a PM with your idea. I'll try to fit 4 or 5 re-dos, so have at it!

Another great issue, picking up right after the shocking events of the previous one, a different tone to this one, emotional in a completely different way and you get a great sense here of some of the motivations of our characters.
It's great that you've really struck such a great balance between the comedic elements and more emotional ones in this series in general, so that you can do a darker story like this one (and the Mockingbird one) and not really lose focus.
Since this picks up fairly quickly after the emotional last issue, so it's good to Harley's got someone like Ivy to rely on - in this case she's quite literally the lesser of two evils. Nice to see they do have a bond, deep down, their relationship can be a lot of fun and just as dynamic as Harley and the Joker's.
It was very strange to see the Joker so emotional, but the internal battle you crafted in this issue was gripping. It's rare to get a glimpse into the mind behind the madness, and it's a little scary to think there's just a tiny bit of humanity lurking behind that creepy ass smile.
Great to see Ivy's backstory explored a bit as well - it's a well crafted adaptation with lots of nice little touches, and gives a great sense of why she is the way she is.
The little bit with Batgirl was a welcome break from the more serious elements, a nice, quick, fun little scene that helps to break some of the tension so as not to overwhelm the reader.
Somehow the last scene of this one is almost more chilling than the last issue, things don't look good for our little Harley, that's for sure.
Once againa great issue, really well done and you handle the shifts of time and tone really well. Can't wait for the next issue.

Oh Harley, where are you getting yourself into?
Another fantastic issue. Ivy is fast becoming my favorite character here. She and Harley are such a great combination.
Great backstory for Ivy. Will you tell us who the "mysterious" older scientist was who did the experiment? I'm not sure that it was Woodrue like in the real DC...
5 well deserved stars, again.
