Book Review: Harley Quinn's Bud and Lou - Trouble Times Two


When Harley's hyenas, Bud and Lou, are framed with stealing the lasso of truth they’re forced to team up with two members of the Super-pets, Ace and Jumpa, to find the culprits. The unlikely team sets off on an adventure that leads them from Oswald Cobblepot's penguins to Mr. Freeze's polar bears. At the chance of being reunited with their beloved Harley, will Bud and Lou save the day and be the good guys for a change? If they aren’t careful, the lasso of truth might reveal how they really feel about being heroes!

Harley Quinn's Bud and Lou: Trouble Times Two written and drawn by Ben Hed with colors by Kendall Goode will be published on March 4, 2025. DC Comics provided an early galley for review.

This was a super-quick and super-fun read. The story does a great job introducing the various animal cast members and moves the plot along at a good pace. The personalities are varied with distinctive voices (this would make a fantastic animated film). The art style takes inspiration from animation as well, with colors that are more subdued and grounded.

This is an adventure that can be enjoyed by all-ages (both the young and the young at heart).
