If the first twenty some pages are a good indication of the story’s style and storytelling this will definitely be a need to read for me when it’s released. The writer has a great grasp on Harley’s weird humor, talking style and really just a great grasp of Harley over all.
The art is nice and clean, the colors pop.
I’m very excited for this story.

Very interesting beginning, I would have liked to have read more. Harley's such an intriguing character, another evenhanded look at her is always appreciated.

It's a good starter! Vivid colors, nice sense of foreshadowing. I'd read the whole thing. Because this was a preview I can't speak to the overall story arc and characterization, but I liked what I saw.

I am excited about reading the rest of this tale. I really enjoy Mariko Tamaki's work and this is an anticipated title for me.

A nice reimagining of Harley Quinn. I only got to read the first 31 pages, that is all that I was given. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

It's a little hard to judge this book since what I got to read was only an excerpt of about 20 pages, but, from what I've seen so far, I definitely think I'll like the book. Harley Quinn is one of my favorite characters in DC, and, seeing her interact with others in the high school setting is definitely going to be.... different.

Can't wait to see the whole graphic novel!

I really like Harleen and definitely want to finish the graphic novel when it comes out. I want to see how this joyful girl plows her way through her new high school, staying with grandma while mom works on a cruise ship. . Will Ivy actually become a friend? What will life be like away from school.
I’m intrigued and creeped by that thing who portrays the grandmother.

Harley Quinn has never been big on my list of DC characters, for whatever reason. Until now, that is.

Mariko Tamaki is absolutely the perfect choice to explore Harley's origins and the beginnings of her friendship with Poison Ivy. The story is slightly grounded in reality: Harley is supposed to be moving in with family, but when she gets there she finds her relative gone and a fabulous group of drag queens that tentatively agree to serve in their stead - it's sweet but also slightly unhinged, and that is a feeling Tamaki really excels at capturing. I'm going to have to pick up the full book to see how it turns out.

I received access to an excerpt from this title via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I cannot WAIT until this full story comes out. I'm so excited that DC is turning their comics into books for YA and Middle Grade readers that they can relate to more. This was only a sneak peek and I'm definitely looking forward to the full thing!

Very good introduction to the Harley Quinn character. Unique way of discussing the real world to children.

Yes! More of Harley's stories like this, please, I will be recommending this for purchase by my library.

Love love love love love. Mariko Tamaki takes the essence of Harley Quinn and transfers it into a younger, sweeter, pre-Joker teenager mostly unsupervised in Gotham. I cannot wait to see how the story turns out, especially since it already includes (Poison) Ivy.

Hard to completely judge this book as I have only been able to read the first 20ish pages of the book but I like what I have read so far. Tamaki does a great job capturing Harley Quinn's voice in terms of the narration and dialogue. Between this and hr new Supergirl book I do like the new YA coming of age stories that Tamaki has been working on. I hope the ending is as good as the beginning.

Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass by Mariko Tamaki is graphic novel that provides a look into the origin story of one of my favorite characters in the Batman universe. I was given an excerpt to read, only about 25 pages. Harley has travelled to the big city of Gotham to stay with her grandmother. She finds out that her grandma has passed, but the building manager "Mama" allows her to stay in the apartment. Harley enters the local high school and tries to see where she fits in...

So far, I really like the art work and the high school setting, and many of the characters show great promise. I'm just unsure what age group/ audience this is directed towards. DC Ink is supposed to be 13+, yet some of the language and actions of the high schoolers seemed a little uncharacteristic of that age group. Are these characters supposed to realistic representations or archetypes of the typical high school scene?

I would definitely be interested in finishing the novel when it comes out. Kudos to Mariko Tamaki for taking on this endeavor. I'm sure the finished product will be fun to read.

Thank you to NetGalley, DC Ink, and Tamaki for the opportunity to read this excerpt.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing this look into the world of Harley Quinn in exchange for an honest review..

Harley Quinn seems like a girl you would love to be friends with, but need to keep under raps so your momma won't keep you from hanging out with her.

This introduction leaves me wanting to see the rest to answer at least a few questions. Like, why is this volume called Breaking Glass? Did I miss something?

I like what I see, but can't really recommend this graphic novel yet.

This new Harley Quinn title aimed at teens reads like the intended audience skews a little younger with the constant use of the phrase “boogers” and Harley’s general demeanor. Yet, I’m not very familiar with Harley Quinn’s character as already established so perhaps this is true to form. I did appreciate the diversity included with “Mama” and all of her “Queens.” It was a so-so beginning to a story that I’m still planning to add to my library collection based on both the author’s track record and the built in teen appeal.

So far I dig the art style. While I get the reading level, I think the number of times she called someone booger was already a few too many and it lacks a creative or intellectual depth. Since it doesn't appear it's attached to any overall DC arc, I'm really interested to see what versions of Harley they pull most from to present to new readers. I really hope they pull more from the original Harley.

Looking forward to more. Love the style and learning more about Harley Quinn. I can see how real life topics will be discussed so reader stay engaged.

As far as I can tell from the preview, this should be an interesting title and an interesting new imprint! I was a little skeptical about the art style -- I'm more used to the DC Superhero Girls look for Harley and Ivy, kind of cartoonish with very clean lines and bright colors -- but I'm coming around to the more realistic look that Pugh went with. (I do hope that the final version will be in color.) Mariko Tamaki is, as always, a brilliant writer, and someone I would trust to write a YA story about gentrification featuring a cast of drag queens and activists; DC made a good choice having her launch this line.
