Catch up with Harley & Ivy: Life & Crimes #3 here!
The Story
Where we last left off, Harley and Ivy were in the throws of passion when they were so rudely interrupted by the police. Now, naked and on the run, the two women have to find a safe place to hide until the police are off their tails. The only choice the two villains have is to seek out help from someone who’s from Harley’s past.
While all of this is happening, it’s all being retold by Harley and Ivy. Getting to see their remarks and quips throughout the story really adds a great bit of humor. It’s interesting to be able to compare where they started in the beginning to how comfortable they are now with each other. Erica Henderson perfectly portrays this growth of the two characters throughout the story.
With this being the official story of Ivy and Harley’s love story, I’d say Henderson is doing a fantastic job at creating something that feels authentic to both characters. With the next issue being the last, I’m very interested to see how it ends!
The Art
Erica Henderson also handles the artwork as well as the writing with Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, who handles the lettering. Some great panels in the comic show a lot of impactful emotion. Whether it’s Ivy showing her vulnerability or Harley, who’s downright confused at some points, you can easily tell the emotions of the characters through their facial expressions. Otsmane-Elhaou knocks it out of the park with the lettering, expertly creating a great flow of dialogue throughout the comic.
Final Thoughts
Harley & Ivy: Life & Crimes #4 continues what’s been an exciting retelling of the character’s love story. There’s drama, there’s excitement, there’s humor, there’s really everything you’d want from this story.
Overall Grade – 8.7/10
