Coming January 31, DC's Harley Quinn Romances will present 'a selection of eight stories of rapscallion romance,' with gorgeous covers starring Superman & Lois, Midnighter & Apollo, and HarleyQuinn &... Aquaman?
It looks like Harley Quinn might finally get to play the role she was born for. DC Comics has revealed DC's Harley Quinn Romances #1, an anthology one-shot filled with love stories with Harley at the center of it all.
If there's one thing that's known about Harley, it's that she's completely ga-ga over the notion of love. Love was the deciding factor in her leaving behind her life as a psychiatrist and becoming the Joker's sidekick. And it was love from her closest confidante that helped her leave the clown for good and start a more positive relationship with Poison Ivy.

Fan-favorite heroes like Power Girl and John Constantine will also have stories with as-of-yet unknown suitors. Even Aquaman will have a tale of passion in this send up of Harlequin Romance novels. And while a number of couples are going to have their respective romances explored, it’s clear that this is, above all else, a Harley Quinn special.
In spite of everything Harley has been through with the Joker, her belief in love has been a consistent part of her character. The Cupid of Crime, as she’s been called, has fought, killed and even died in the name of love. But no matter what she’s been through, Harley is confident in love, both for herself and for others.
