Harley Quinn #23

Harley Quinn goes full fight-mode on this cover by Amanda Conner, with Harley wielding a knife and dragging a battered, bloodied bruiser through what looks like a grimy shower room — multiple weapon-clutching hands closing in from the foreground make it clear she's badly outnumbered. The bold tagline "Blood in the Water" sets an appropriately chaotic tone for the "Kingpin Queen" story inside, crafted by the creative team of Conner, Palmiotti, Hardin, and Sinclair. If you enjoy Harley at her most dangerously cheerful, this 2016 issue delivers that energy right from the cover.
