Few comic book characters have experienced as successful of a rebranding as Harley Quinn has had over the past decade. From being the Cupid of Crime to the kingpin of crimefighting, Harley Quinn has had a tremendous rebrand as of late.

Originally not even conceived as a character for the comic books, and a character who DC Comics editors actively did not want in the official comics canon, Harley Quinn has come a long way from being The Joker's lovelorn sidekick. Now, she's essentially become one of the leading faces of the DC brand. While some superheroes still treat her with vitriol (the Justice League still doesn't consider her a real hero), she at the very least has become a full-on anti-hero - and these quotes prove just that.

Warning: Spoilers for Harley Quinn #43!Harley Quinn may look like a jester - and she may have the name of the archetypal jester - but she's no laughing matter. She's come a long way from being a sidekick villain to becoming a hero in her own right, but still the heroes of the DC Universe don't often give her much credit. Seeing as she's a licensed therapist, not to mention a brilliant fighter, one Gotham hero is finally starting to take notice of her skills.

Up against a Gotham rogue that once upon a time used to be an ally, Harley Quinn uses more than just her fighting prowess to save the city in Harley Quinn #43 by Tini Howard, Natacha Bustos, Sweeney Boo, and Steve Wands.

The Bat-Family is in danger because of Harley Quinn, even if it's not completely her fault. Harley's made a lot of enemies over the years and she's generally able to handle whatever comes her way. However, her latest antagonist is putting the Cupid of Crime in an awkward place when it comes to Gotham's greatest heroes.

Mr. Freeze is changing his approach to hiring villainous help in the newest Harley Quinn issue.

Blending elements of Blade Runner 2049 and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Living Hell is Yarskys first solo series as a writer and artist. Screen Rant is pleased to present an exclusive first look at the series.

Set to be released this fall, Living Hell centers around Jerome Jameel, a demon who has escaped from his prison in Hell to live on Earth.

The X-Men's newest comics, "From The Ashes," look to be banking on the 90s nostalgia that made the recent "X-Men '97" revival such a success. This safe approach, though, comes off (and undoes) one of the most experimental periods in "X-Men" comics ever: the Krakoa era.

"X-Men" has a premise that could be a straightforward science-fiction story, no capes needed, but most of their stories lean more on soapy interpersonal drama than big ideas. Krakoa titled that balance in the other direction. This new dawn for X-Mankind kicked off in 2019 with interlocking miniseries "House of X" and "Powers of X" and concluded in 2024.

"Krakoa" is the name of a South-Pacific island where Professor X, Magneto, and Moira MacTaggert create a homeland for all mutants (even the bad guys). Mutants proclaim themselves the next step in human evolution and now that they're one people, they prove that by outpacing human achievement.

In Catwoman #66, Selina Kyle faces imminent death as her "nine lives" granted by a mysterious meteor have steadily been lost, leaving her with only one remaining. Not only is Selina down to one life, the same meteor fragment that granted her limited immortality is now causing her debilitating headaches and visions, meaning that it might in fact be the thing to take her final life. Catwoman is determined to find a way to remove the meteor fragment and survive; as one of DC's most popular characters, many readers expect her to find a way out of his predicament unless DC has a shocking twist in store.

Gambit's fans share their favorite moments and panels showcasing his charm and personality. Marvel's upcoming Uncanny X-Men series may provide a bigger platform for Gambit's character development. Gambit's charm lies in his nonchalant demeanor and passion for his actions, making him relatable and likable.

Social media users have come out to show some love for Marvel's most underrated mutant, Gambit. For the X-Men fanbase, Gambit can be something of a mixed bag. He's someone who audiences either love or they hate, largely because (to some at least) Marvel has spent 27 years mistreating him and his character. And for audiences indifferent to him, it might be hard to see what Gambit lovers get so hyped about.

Anne Writes Comics over at X was wondering herself as to what makes Gambit so likable to those who are endeared to the Ragin' Cajun. All Anne asked for was for followers to reply with one page,...

Evolution. Mutation. Change.

These concepts have always been at the heart of the X-Men story. Even the fairly straightforward Silver Age adventures by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby made in the 1960s positioned mutants as the next stage in human evolution. Yet, rarely has the franchise made a leap as pronounced as it did in 2019, when writer Jonathan Hickman came on board to radically alter all of Marvel’s mutants with the game-changing House of X/Powers of X event books.

Five years later, with the release of X-Men #35, which is also the 700th issue of Uncanny X-Men as a whole, the Krakoa era has come to an end.
