I try not to be too negative on here, but setting up an organization called "Gotham Terrorist Oppression" seemingly without a hint of irony and having a guy who Harley Quinn just got killed tell her how great she is with his dying breath is an amazing microcosm of everything I dislike about Murphy's White Knight work. This utterly bizarre blend of genuinely creepy worship of authority and respectability with a take on Harley Quinn that's right out of bad, yet also boring, fanfic.
The art is completely gorgeous though, this book, like all of the White Knight stuff, looks great. Matteo Scalera is a great choice to match Murphy's own style without looking too derivative. And to her credit, Collins' writing does feel absolutely in the spirit of Murphy's, even if I find it distasteful.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
