"The fast-paced plot enhanced by Harley's trademark style of speech
examines the impact of gentrification, and Harley’s character
development follows a redemptive arc that will have readers rooting
for her and her colorful family. A riotous read." —Kirkus
Reviews
"Mariko Tamaki’s voice is absolute perfection in this altogether
refreshing spin on a young Harleen Quinzel’s beginnings. Anchored
by stunning art by Steve Pugh, readers get to revel in a Gotham
City that has drag queens fighting gentrification, a familiar-named
practical activist going against an all-consuming corporation, and
an endearing delinquent just trying to find the fairy tale that
fits her remarkable life. Shantay you stay (on my bookshelf for
decades to come), Breaking Glass."
—Sina Grace, GLAAD Media Award nominated author of Iceman
"Breaking Glass is a standout achievement that demonstrates the
unique blend of words, pictures, and color that comics offer. With
its diverse cast and respect for the essential natures of
long-beloved characters, Harley Quinn: Breaking
Glass should appeal to comic book newcomers as well as
longtime fans.” —Foreword Reviews
"A modern, funny, and satisfyingly fresh take on the origin of a
superhero revolutionary." – School Library Journal Anna Murphy,
Berkeley Carroll School, Brooklyn
