Harley Quinn has come a long and storied way from her introduction in 1992. I can remember the first time I was introduced to this character.In the capable hands of Jimmy Palmiotti, the book takes the character in new directions and adds layers and other characters to the universe of a colorful and fascinating character. Other familiar characters show up to add to the story.Highly recommended!

As per usual the artwork is superb. The cover variants at the end are worth taking the time to go through. Harley and the whole crew are back for volume three, though there’s less focus on the Harley Gang this time around. There are plenty of other things going on without them however, so fear not. So there’s actually quite a lot going on this volume, with four plots getting juggled in the air. First there’s an alien named Zorcrom whom looks crazy different from Super Man, but at the same time has some similarities with him. For example, our sun keeps making him stronger and things like that. This plot was pretty crazy, and unabashedly full of Harley’s quips and basically doing what she does best – being crazy and distracting. Not bad as far as starting plots go, but certainly not my favorite.The second plot really made my heart ache – the homeless in the city have begun to disappear. This includes the nice gentleman that Harley made a point of stopping by and checking on (and feeding him). So naturally Harley quickly agrees to go undercover (again – apparently the police chief thinks she’s capable of working quietly? Go figure) to find the cause. Things quickly take a gross and morbid turn as things get revealed (I won’t spoil it for you, but prepare to feel bad for the homeless). Because I felt so bad for what had happened, I wasn’t even the least bit willing to feel sympathy for the guys that caused everything as Harley beat the life out of most of them. It was actually pretty satisfying, in a comic book violence sort of way. The next plot introduced doesn’t really get resolved this volume, which is a shame. Additionally it’s pulling from a secondary Harley Quinn comic (Harley Quinn and Her Gang of Harleys) so I can’t pretend to know a lot about the villain, as I haven’t read it yet (I know – I’ll add it to the list). From what I can gather though, Harley Sin (yeah, I know) is clearly a mirror of Harley Quinn (doesn’t really take a genius to figure that one out). This sort of obvious reflection isn’t really my favorite type of storytelling, but since the ending hasn’t been included yet I’ll let it be for now. The last plot gets a little crazy, so be prepared for Harley levels of weirdness (which is saying something, I know). On the bright side, this plot actually ties in and explains Red Tool a bit more (sort of – I’m not convinced it’s all true). I really liked the future girl, Devan and her costume design. Though I disagree with the reason she wants to go back in the past, as there’s a pretty basic flaw in her understanding of time travel (for the sake of not turning this into a ten page review, I won’t go further into detail on that subject). I really enjoyed Red Tool’s way of handling things (and the manner in which he got brought into the fray). That being said – I’m seriously debating about going back and reading through the previous volumes to see if I can confirm or deny the story he told. For the life of me I can’t remember if they show the character before he becomes Red Tool. So maybe it is true? Something doesn’t feel right about it though. Regardless, it was really cool seeing him step up and solve things. Final event worth mentioning: so um, Harley’s parents are in town? I’m worried about the potential for a lame gimmick here, and thus am really hoping her parents will have left before the start of the next volume. That would be ideal. All in all I enjoyed reading Red Meat, even though it isn’t my favorite of the Harley series. Despite my complaints, I really can’t wait to see what volume four (hopefully sans parents) has in store

Great book, but disappointed in condition. Described as new, but had cover bent at corners. Could possibly be from how it was packaged less adequately than other books I've received (book was delivered with half sized cardboard inside plastic envelope.

Story: Do you remember that door that Red Tool was supposed to seal after Harley and he had their little adventure down in the tunnels under the building? Well Giant bugs have brought the cocoon out into the light of day and what comes out isn’t pleasant. That’s where issues 14-16, Nether Regions, starts us off at. With the help of another underworld dweller Atlee and Power Girl they manage to subdue Zorcrom, well not as much as the rabid squirrel. Along with the megalomaniac who has decided that Power Girl will be his queen we also learn that the mayor’s aid has hired a bunch of cannibals to eat the homeless population (hence the name Red Meat), Harley Sin is out of Arkham and out for revenge, and in the distant possible future a young woman works her way to the top of the battle royal so she can go back in time to kill Harley Quinn. After the defeat of Zorcrom Harley is approached by the Chief of Police to look into the disappearing homeless problem only to be kidnapped herself, it’s a good thing she can talk to the dead and that she is completely insane. Red Tool revealed! WHAT!?!?Review: Just keeps getting better, I loved the progression of the stories how they all were all set up and then fell one by one like dominos well except for Harley Sin’s her part isn’t done yet. These four story arcs fit well in with each other it’s an easy transition from one to the next. Harley has some real sane moments only to be followed up by batshit crazy. I love Red Tools part of the story. I think it's funny how Harley's hair changes length with each artist. Overall, this was a great one, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

'Harley Quinn Vol. 3: Red Meat' by Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, and John Timms collects the lead stories from Harley Quinn #14-21. Harley continues her life of being an antihero with her weird group of friends.When a group of large beings that live under the ground show up, they unleash a being that Harley isn't capable of handling, so she calls in some friends like Power Girl, who reluctantly shows up.The mayor of New York has hired a group of people to take care of the homeless population and Harley Quinn is sent undercover to find out what is going on.I keep thinking there are interesting things to do with this character, but I haven't found what I'm looking for yet. The humorous antihero thing has been done before and better. When I have a hard time staying interested to finish a graphic novel, that's a sign that I've just lost interest.I received a review copy of this graphic novel from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

The product is great and arrived in mint condition thankfully and my niece could not wait to read this edition after reading the others.

Came quickly and was worth the money

Excellent

Great price and fast delivery

Amazing!
