Five Reasons Why You Should Read The Harley Quinn Eat, Bang, Kill Tour
Here at Vines N Roses Zine, we are extremely happy to be the first comic
site that announced the existence of Harley Quinn, Eat, Bang, Kill Tour back
in June
https://vinesnroses.blogspot.com/2021/06/harley-quinn-eat-bang-kill-tour.html
In case you missed it, here are five reasons to buy the book and enjoy the
zany, fun and HOT HOT HOT adventures of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy
1. Poison Ivy SHINES in the book.
Unfortunately Poison Ivy has not been treated well in the past years. She
was murdered, tortured, split in multiple characters, burned alive, split
again etc etc. Her character development doesn't seem to stick in the main
DC universe books and she is barely used. Fortunately she gets a central
spot in "Eat, Bang, Kill". She is written as an actual and well rounded
character with emotions, fear, hopes and dreams and not as a "plant
Bazooka" or a plant version of Carnage. In just a few issues Tee Franklin
manages to give more character to Poison Ivy than decades in main canon
comics.
2. The art is F A N T A S T I C
Filled with visual gags and an insane amount of detail while at the
same time being colorful, close to the animated series AND having a
personal style is not an easy task. BUT Max Sarin, Marissa Louise and
Taylor Esposito deliver a wonderful book. The design, the colors and
lettering is expressive and fitting to the themes and tone of the script
and the characters look better than ever with both subtle and cartoony
expressions. It also has a TON of visual gags and references in every
page that make multiple readings of each issue a pleasure.
3. The team DELIVERS in diversity.
It's obvious that the team put
a lot of effort regarding diversity. It's inclusiveness in
action that feels organic. There are multiple characters of different
ethnicities, sexual orientation, disabled characters, P.O.C. It makes
the book feel alive and gives a positive vibe to the readers. Plus a big
theme that runs throughout the series is Poison Ivy's mental state and
the feelings she has to process that is told with care and respect and
not as a stereotype.
.
4. It's GAY and sexy as fuck.
Ok, seriously, listen: this book is hot, steamy, sexy and gay. When it
comes to the Ivy and Harley romance, previous books have mostly stayed
away from it, either queerbaiting the readers, breaking up the couple or
not showing them in love. Eat, Bang, Kill DELIVERS. Ivy and Harley are
in love, they kiss, have sex, enjoy their romance like a normal couple
does. And it's not only them. I love sex jokes, puns, innuendoes and I
love the meta narrative of the book poking fans at "comic sex scandals",
like the one that heroes are not cunning linguists. Well guess again -
wink wink nudge nudge. It's liberating to finally see the couple eat
each other, bang each other and kill it in bed.
5. VIXEN IS IN IT
I love Vixen, you should love Vixen too. Not only she play a central
part to the story but she is FABULOUS and she is also gay! I mean...
look at the art above. She looks absolutely stunning and majestic. And
wait till you learn about her ... animal skills in bed!
You need another reason? Well, how about not only supporting diversity
in words and stories but also IN ACTION?
Black. Queer. Disabled. Autistic. Harley Quinn writer.
