Mad Love, Mad Love, Mad Love. How do I begin to review Mad Love?
Since “Mad Love and Other Stories” was released this month and the “Mad Love Collector's Set” action figures have been announced for release next year (repaints of old sculpts and not the 'new sculpts' the advertising is claiming incidentally)

It's something I will treasure for a long time.

I *have* to know: where did you get that userpic of Harley being spanked (by the Joker, it looks like) that you have in your profile? 0_0 More to the point, where might I find the artwork it came from? DO WANT.

Also, I do agree, I ws hoping the collection would be all J/HQ but I did enjoy "24 hours".

That, and 'Laughter After Midnight'. That knocked out at least two comics on my to-get list.

I always wonder at what point did the Joker fall for Harley? Was it during their sessions at Arkham? Was it when she busted him out? Problem for him, I think, it wasn't a decision he could have made or a plan he'd spent months plotting.
It's like when Bats says despite her hatred of it, Ivy still retains some humanity, when she saves the orphans she's protecting during NML.
Along that same vein, this cute jester comes along and shows us somewhere deep beneath Dante's seventh layer of Hell there's a smidgen of humanity left.
And it's so true: there's a reason why Harley is considered to be crazier than the Joker and even at times more dangerous: not only will she do the craziest, evillest shit for him and protect him and oh yeah, kinda get the friggin' Joker flustered. So yeah, Harley? Is the shit.

The fact she can fluster him is what makes this ship so win.

Fave bit: It's a matter of pride, so, so much pride here: that not only does he have this weakness, this monster he made that he loves and who calls him by silly pet names like Puddin', but that the wretched thing almost offed the Batman and that oaf is standing right there telling him so! Oh god, the conflicting emotions can barely be imagined. That just sums up his furious reaction perfectly!

This is kind of where I was going w/ my speculation about how the Joker feels, in the long run, about Harley's attempt on Batman's life. It seems to me that there is a bit of a change in their relationship, unseen, between 'Made Love' and 'Trial'. He never even objects to being called 'Puddin' again.
