After the disappointment of the annoyingly wordy and overstuffed third issue, this fourth issue of the campy Harley Quinn x Elvira crossover actually remembers to have fun again.

Stuck in Dracula’s castle, the two bosom buddies of the title draw the attention of the vampire Lord’s three wives, who want Harley and Elvira gone. There’s also someone who’s out for revenge, so trouble is arriving on all sides for our dynamic duo.

Issue four really is fun, with tons of Universal Monsters-style action, along with some great gags and snarky references. There’s some real pop culture deep cuts here, especially on the final page, and no doubt numerous jokes that went over my head, considering their rapid fire pace. I did enjoy the little dig at the current Marvel/DC and DC/Marvel crossovers though!

I’m glad that the art seems to have settled back to being, well, decent too. It does make me wonder what went wrong with issue 3 that had it feeling so off, but I’m glad we’re returning to form now. Can that level of quality be maintained in issue 5? We shall soon see…
