L’équipe à l’origine des comics humoristique* Powergirl* et Terra, composée de Jimmy Palmiotti et de Amanda Conner, rempile pour une nouvelle série régulière consacrée à la super-vilaine Harley Quinn.
Harleen Quinzel mène une vie banale de psychiatre à Arkham jusqu’à sa rencontre avec le Joker. Depuis le New 52, les origines du personnage ont été modifié. Au lieu de tomber sous son charme, Quinzel est balancée dans la cuve de produits toxiques qui a donné sa peau blanche au Joker.
Harley Quinn #0 sera illustré par un collectif d’artistes comprenant Amanda Conner elle-même, le créateur du personnage Bruce Timm et Paul Pope. Sortie prévue pour novembre 2013.
[quote]It is a simple one that we do not want to ruin. The #0 book is a giant lab experiment — and Issue #1 that comes after this will be the more regular format of the book.
This issue is something special on a number of levels. This will make you laugh and cry…cry laughing.[/quote]
L’éditeur DC Comics lance un concours pour dénicher un jeune talent via la nouvelle série « Harley Quinn » de Jimmy Palmiotti et Amanda Conner. Pour participer, il suffit de réaliser une page crayonnée/crayonnée et encrée/ou complète avec couleur en suivant la description ci-dessous:
[quote]PAGE 15
4 panels
PANEL 1
Harley is on top of a building, holding a large DETACHED cellphone tower in her hands as lightning is striking just about everywhere except her tower. She is looking at us like she cannot believe what she is doing. Beside herself. Not happy.
PANEL 2
Harley is sitting in an alligator pond, on a little island with a suit of raw chicken on, rolling her eyes like once again, she cannot believe where she has found herself. We see the alligators ignoring her.
PANEL 3
Harley is sitting in an open whale mouth, tickling the inside of the whale’s mouth with a feather. She is ecstatic and happy, like this is the most fun ever.
PANEL 4
Harley sitting naked in a bathtub with toasters, blow dryers, blenders, appliances all dangling above the bathtub and she has a cord that will release them all. We are watching the moment before the inevitable death. Her expression is one of “oh well, guess that’s it for me” and she has resigned herself to the moment that is going to happen.[/quote]
[quote]Please have your final artwork fit the following specifications:
