Or, as another, very accurate article title: “Bitten by the Blind Bag Bug.” I had somehow overlooked the Harley Quinn x Elvira series, but when I saw the first issue being sold in a blind bag, I couldn’t help but pick it up. Was it worth it?
Harley Quinn is having disturbing dreams and comes to the conclusion that the only way to solve her current psychological problems is to throw a party with Elvira as the guest of honor. Meanwhile, Elvira loses her job as TV’s most ferocious, vampire horror host, and Harley may be the only person who can lend her a helping hand.
Amander Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti waste no time, providing readers with a chaotic, slapstick, dramatic, cheesecake-esque teamwork experience that includes several fourth-wall breaks and cheeky winks at the camera. In short, it’s exactly what you’d expect from a team of two extremely mischievous, amusingly sneaky, and somewhat meta characters.
It’s all very silly, campy, fast-paced, and fun. This is a work that many people can read and enjoy, and the illustrations are beautifully drawn. That sassiness is on full display, not only in his writing but also in his art.

As you can see, the cover I found in my blind bag was a black and white version of the cover by Amanda Conner. As is always the case with Dynamite, this comic has an absolutely bewildering number of covers, even without considering the exclusive bling bag variety. But I’m pretty happy with this. It’s certainly a very playful cover, and definitely reflects the nature of the story itself. It’s certainly nothing groundbreaking, but it’s a fun time, and the audience gets to know its characters really well, not to mention the audience.
