Harley Quinn Continues Inclusivity Streak With Introduction of Vixen's Girlfriend
Warning: Contains spoilers for Harley Quinn: The Eat. Bang! Kill. Tour #6!
The comic spin-off of the Harley Quinn animated series has been on a roll lately by being more inclusive in its characters and world-building, and the latest issue introduces a character that continues its impressive streak. Over the course of the series' six-issue run, the Harley Quinn: The Eat. Bang! Kill. Tour team of Tee Franklin, Matt Sarin and Marissa Louise has been doing a fantastic job exploring new angles of familiar characters and introducing new ones. By including the relationship between Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, the on-screen introduction of Queen of Fables as a woman of color and more, this interpretation of Harley Quinn and the world around her has become one of the most open and inclusive versions in the DC character's history. Now, a new character has entered the story, and with her comes a spotlight for those in the disability community.
The sixth and final issue in the series picks up with Ivy discovering that Harley has been kidnapped by the newest supervillain on the block, Mephitic. Unsure where to go and what to do, she seeks help from the one person she can think of: Vixen, the superhero she tangled with back in the fourth issue. At first, she is entirely skeptical about teaming up with her. After all, they just fought not too long ago after Ivy poisoned a group of CEOs who polluted the environment and attempted to control Vixen. It's not until Elle, Vixen's girlfriend, steps in that things take a turn for the better both in terms of story and representation.
