Harley Quinn #19

The cover by Amanda Conner lays out a vibrant nine-panel grid showcasing Harley Quinn front and center — white-faced, red-and-black pigtails, and grinning wide — surrounded by a colorful ensemble of eight other characters, including a sharply dressed young man with painted nails, a woman with a bold afro, a queen-styled figure with a diamond crown, a redhead with a throwing star, a pointy-eared woman with chopsticks, and several more distinctive personalities. It's a lively, character-packed lineup that hints at the sprawling, unpredictable cast Harley keeps in her orbit for "Ship of Fools." With Conner and Palmiotti at the helm and Chad Hardin and Alex Sinclair bringing the visuals to life inside, this October 2015 issue promises the kind of energetic ensemble chaos that makes this series such a consistently entertaining ride.
