After being disappointed by the annoyingly redundant and overstuffed third issue, this fourth issue of Harley Quinn and Elvira’s whimsical crossover actually manages to be fun again.
Trapped in Dracula’s castle, the two bosom friends of this title attract the attention of the Vampire Lord’s three wives, who want Harley and Elvira gone. Some characters are bent on revenge, and trouble befalls the dynamic duo from all sides.
Issue #4 is really fun, with lots of Universal Monsters style action and some great gags and sarcastic references. There are some deep cuts here, especially on the last page, that delve into real pop culture, and a number of jokes that definitely went over my head, considering its rapid pace of development. However, I did enjoy the little digs at the current Marvel/DC and DC/Marvel crossovers.
I’m glad that the art seems to have settled down to an acceptable level. I sometimes wonder what went wrong in issue 3 when things were so bad, but I’m glad that things are getting better now. Will issue #5 be able to maintain that level of quality? We’ll find out soon…
