![]() While the show is obviously overtly queer, these comics have elements of queerness and little gay details that don't appear in the show. I also like that the comics have a different queer flavor than the show. (I do like that she is somewhat in control of the narrative at times, talking directly to me, which gives her a lot of autonomy that this character doesn't always have in every adaptation.) In all these ways, Tee Franklin really does Harley right. That role in the relationship really suits her, I feel, without limiting her-because of course she has all of her omnipotent, violent, potty mouth glory happening too. She feels close to the show but also has a different sort of innocence about her because she's so in love with Ivy-there are lots of places where she's just sort of gazing at Ivy and wondering what she'll do next. ![]() I also really enjoyed Harley's voice in this series. ![]() I'm really happy to have found Max Sarin. I'm thinking in particular of all the times Ivy and Harley are holding one another, and how they change positions incrementally between panels. While reading, I did so much staring and admiring at these illustrations, and there was so much commitment and consistency frame to frame. ![]() They're actually the reason I found, and was drawn to, the comic-I was looking up fan art and saw Max Sarin's gorgeous, gorgeous drawings, and I stalked them to the source. For one thing, the drawings are just stupidly beautiful, fluid, and expressive and they do something that the show cannot with its animation. ![]()
