DEAD SEA SCROLLS, 1947-1969 by Edmund Wilson
The Dead Sea Scrolls were announced recently to be making a visit to North Carolina’s Science Museum in Raleigh. So when I found that a book on the Scrolls was in the next level of my Dewey Project readings- I jumped at the chance to prep myself for the exhibit.

"Shazam!: The Monster Society of Evil"
Once you read the director’s cut info in the back of this volume, the story seems to make more sense and not as childish. This is hard, especially, since the main super heroes are kids!

Batman: Harley & Ivy
Witness the formation of one of DC Comics' most tightest friendships turned whirlwind romances! Batman: The Animated Series' Paul Dini and Bruce Timm rejoin forces to bust Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy out of Arkham! While on the lam, the girls will take on a banana republic known for it's massive deforestation practices, Hollywood big wigs making a movie about the criminals, the big guy Batman, and each other!
I was surprised how titillating this story was. There's nearly nude prison showering, gratuitous crotch shots in lingerie and much more. Well, based on that scene in Mad Love when Quinn asks Mr. J if he wanted to take a ride on his Harley, maybe I'm not that surprised.
While the story is firmly set in the TAS universe, this miniseries isn't all ages!
This volume also includes 2 short stories. Judd Winick (Red Hood: The Lost Days) pens a tale in which Harley seeks to best The Joker with planning the greatest heist ever pulled! Unfortunately for Harley and Ivy, they pick an event attended by Bruce Wayne and Tim Drake. Then Paul Dini is back with a story that has Harley and Ivy betting who can get the most smooches while confined in Arkham. Can Harley even compete against a villain who can control men with her special plant based pheromones?
If you love Harley Quinn- and I truly do- you will enjoy this collection of stories! Poison Ivy isn't one of my favorite characters. But she works really well with Harley Quinn. They are such a great paring of opposites.
Again, not suitable for all ages because of the eye candy artwork and innuendos. Those jokes might work on TV as they could be glossed over. But when they are in print, it's hard to avoid the tongue-in-cheekiness.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
