Two More DC Revamp Titles: Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad and Blue Beetle #1
I might get Blue Beetle, Harley's outfit is a little over the top, not to say it's not awesome, but it's kind of trampy. Suicide Squad will need Bane in it for me to be interested.
New Harley Quinn re-design is a big NO for me.So true ...@RedRobin92 said:
That breaks my heart seeing a Suicide Squad title on the relaunch, the most likely means there will be no Secret Six. What a shame.I really like the Suicide Squad (but not the reboot-version) but I would love to have the Secret Six back. They are much cooler ...
Jesus Christ Harley put some clothes on!!! Why can't a female character in comics where clothes? Sexy is great, but jeez do all super heroines have to dress like they are going off to make an X-rated movie.So you haven't seen the redesigns for every other DC female character then?
Love how Jim Lee ripped off Black Lagoon, cuz that Harley is DEFINITELY Levy
Looking forward to Beetle. Shame Secret Six is dead. I may give Suicide Squad a try (despite my dislike of the redesigns). I'm on the fence cuz I haven't read enough of Glass to trust the guy. I did like his arc on Deadpool though.
If I hadn't read the article and just looked at the covers alone i would never have believed that that was Harley.
Blue Beetle i am digging and will deffinatly pick up.
48 down, 4 to go ( and i think we can all guess those 4............................... Captain carrot and the zoo crew, Magog, Red Tornado and Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen :P )
He wrote the first arc of the New Deadpool series and wrote some Noir titles for marvel. I can personally vouch for his Deadpool secret invasion work. Outside of that I've got nada to say.
Oh come the hell on DC! You say no more skimpy outfits for female characters and redesign most of them in this really stupid way, and then we get Harley Quinn looking like this! I love her new look, but this is just getting retarded.
Lee is stuck in the 90s and screwed the pooch on 90% of these new designs. Sweet MosesAllahBuddah what did he do to Harley, King Shark,& Deadshot?! Harley most of all. And Conner on Titans...just WTF, man. I swear they had Liefeld design these costumes.
@entropy_aegis:
I was hoping that Secret Six would be moved over to Suicide Squad...but no such luck, oh well.
Imagine her with a pony tails and two tone hair...cuz when I saw Harley, Levy immediately jumped to mind.
I'll check out an issue or 2 thanks to Deadshot but Birds of Prey and Suicide Squad have been ruined.They took those Gotham city Sirens chumps and shoehorned them in to books they have no right to be in.Who's the Siren in BoP?
@JonesDeini:
Sorry, mate, but I still can't see it lol
Anyways, I'm stoked for a new Suicide Squad, but Harley Quinn on the it...meh, if the writing is good. Did Gail know that Deadshot and King Shark were gonna be on this team?
not loving harley's new look.. theyve made her a bit too joker-esque in my opinion, ill wait to see how a few other artists handle her look before judging though, and who knows, it might grown on me!
noooooooo
if suicide squad will be DC's supervillain team than that means secret six wont be in the new DCU!!
lost a tittle
Well, they made Harley completely unrecognizable, and made King Shark and Deadshot look like they were lifted straight out of the 90's. So......nope, no sale.
I like Harley Quinn new design, it reminds me of her new costume in Batman: Arkham City. They should have never cancelled Blue Beetle early series in the first place and only now did they
release their mistake. It's good to see the Suicide Squad get a new title, but does this end the
Secret Six series?
While I've always liked the basic idea of the Suicide Squad, there's never been any reason compelling enough to buy, read or collect it.
I do not like the redesign of Harley Quinn at all. Funny how DC has decided against skirts in favor of shorts, but this costume seems to be okay. I want to have my picture taken with a cos player wearing that costume one day. I'll post it here right after I get out of the hospital and I'm recovered from my wife kicking my ***!
I'm thinking it is time to have a look at what DC's got going with this new Blue Beetle...
John Ostrander's original Suicide Squad run is getting collected in trade. I really cant recommend that series enough. The 80's was a great time for comics in general, but Suicide Squad was one of my very favorites. Ostrander took a D list Batman villian like Deadshot and turned him into a truly compelling character. He also did great things with Capt. Boomerang and Amanda Waller.
I am NOT a fan of the new Harley! It looks like she's shed all of that Dini put into her - fun loving, crazy look. At the same time, it fits into that book's description and perhaps just character growth? I assume Gotham City Sirens ends with this new DCU refresh, so maybe at the end of that she renounces her old self? Also, maybe they'll deal with this in the first couple books, but the premise makes no sense. Send a bunch of super villains on a suicide mission? What happens when they are out there in the wild and turn on the gov't? I don't know....
Just noticed there are tiny little knife sheaths built into the side of Harley's corset. Hiiiiiilarious.
Okay ... so they put more clothes on Supergirl but take clothes off from Harley?
I love Harley Quinn new design!! It has GREAT potential, I can only pray that the art stays the same on the inside, as they advertise on the outside. Harley might look like a tramp, but if you were to see Harley like this verses a Harley in a full zip up costume, which one would you think was unstable? and which one would you think was late to child's birthday party? Besides, I have seen woman dress like this, granted I have traveled the states and live in Tokyo. I can not wait till it is out!
Really love the Harley redesign. Very different and might take some getting used to for some people, but I think its great. I hope that art will be as great on the insides as it is on the cover.
I love how there has been next to no visible change for Jaime.
He should get tight, short, blue leather hot pants. A chain going from his belt buckle to his blue beetle. Can you remember Sanjaya? That guy from that singing parody show Idol something? Blue Beetle should have hair like that, with half of it sky blue in color and the other half cyan. Plus a black leather studded choker with little blue gems on it. It'll be hawt! Make him shave his armpits though for all those sexy poses he'll find himself in.
They picked Harley Quinn over Captain Marvel. ARE YOU SERIOUS??? This has to be an alternate universe because half of the stuff in this reboot makes no sense at all. Also DC seems to be going for a more futuristic look. I have no clue what's going on.
I'm sorry but there is simply no harley left in this reboot. Based on art alone...there's no Harley left in this character. Nothing about this design reflects who she is. You are turning off the people who have sincerely loved the character for years. She's comedic and charming as well as dangerously obsessive. She walks a thin line. What Paul Dini and Bruce Timm created is gone. It makes me incredibly sad.
Both of these seem pretty awesome to me. The other recamped titles announced this week didn't do anything for me but these two I'll definitely check out.
WTF is up with Harley! If her name wasn't in the Articles title, I wouldn't even have know it was her. A redesign should at least evoke the same feelings the original costume did, but this is totally unrecognizable! And I thought DC was done with slutty costumes? Why does Harley get to where briefs, but Wonder Woman doesn't?
