Coloring DC: Batman: Mad Love Featuring Harley Quinn (Dc Comics Coloring Book)

Good printing on heavy, quality paper stock.

The media could not be loaded. This is my second in the series of Batman coloring books. Once again, the stories in the book seem to be the same artwork as used in comics but with the colors removed. There is a lot of heavy black but that's okay with me. In order to darken the black or bring out details if I have colored over an area, I simply use my black pencil to darken the area/line again.What I really like about being able to “color my comics” is that I can now color my characters in traditional ways or pick my own color palette and go for it. For my first project in this book, I've chosen to go more on the traditional side but I will certainly have fun with colors in future projects.I'm hoping to see more comics available in coloring format. I will be looking for more of my favorites in the future. I've seen that DC Comics has a few on the back burner that are of interest to me as well.I will provide more details below about the physical book but here is an overview of what I found in this coloring book:94 pages of black and white graphic novel plus title pageDesign printed on both sides of pagePaper is heavyweight and non-perforatedThree designs merge into the bindingBinding is both sewn and gluedAll markers (alcohol and water) and India ink pens bleed through the pageGel pens leave a shadow of color on the reverse sideColoring pencils work fantastic with this paperThe designs are printed on both sides of the white, heavyweight, non-perforated page. This is exactly what I expect from this type of coloring book as it is really a graphic novel. The binding is glued and sewn which makes it really sturdy but almost impossible to remove pages from the book. I don't intend to do so anyway, so no problem for me.Only three designs merge into the binding and only one of those three designs is spread across the binding onto two pages. I was able to get the book to lay fairly flat but it took some effort to crease the spine enough. As I said before, the binding is really sturdy in this book.I test a large variety of coloring medium on my books. I'll list the type of tests I do as well as the medium I used for this book in the comments section below. Here is what I found:Alcohol and water-based markers and India ink pens bleed through the page and will ruin the designs on the backside of the page. Gel pens leave a shadow of color that is easily seen on the reverse of the page.In the end, I can only recommend coloring pencils for this book and those I recommend highly. My soft lead pencils went on thick and I was able to blend them really easily. My hard lead pencils went on sharp and are perfect for the tiny spots in the designs and did not leave dents on the back of the page.

Wow! I have never seen a coloring book so well made in my life! Those adult color books nowadays have nothing on this! It is thick, well made, BIG and lovely! I almost don't want to color it in. I was also suprised that it was the complete story; though it was stated, I still wasnt sure. and you gotta love the cover. At first I was skeptical, like "wow, i really just ordered a coloring book for 11 bucks" but it was way more worth it than I previously thought. Great Buy and great part of my collection

"Coloring DC: Batman: Mad Love Featuring Harley Quinn" is the adult coloring book you don't have to color to enjoy.It's a reprint of "The Batman Adventures: Mad Love," the 1994 one-shot comic from "Batman: The Animated Series" creators Paul Dini and Bruce Timm which brought Harley from the television screen to comics pages, and started her on the path to stardom in her own right.Harley decides the only way she can win The Joker's love is to kill Batman, so she tries feeding the Dark Knight to piranhas. But the Clown Prince of Crime is enraged by her attempt to kill Batman herself, and spoil his fun. He knocks her out a window, and tries again to kill the Caped Crusader...If you never find time to color, you can learn why Harley stays with the Joker despite his cruelty, and why the Joker tolerates her, despite his disdain for emotional attachments.You can also enjoy how illustrator Timm uses heavy black shadows to not only create the mood of fear and menace appropriate to a Batman story, but also add realism to his animation-based drawing style.Even without color, this is a great comic book, a valuable addition to any Bat-fan's library, and well worth both the time and the money.

I don’t even like coloring! But this is fun to color. That’s how awesome this book is. Pages could have been a little thicker so I could use marker if I so desired without bleeding through. :)

Perfect for any fan of the Batman Animated Series. Purchased as a gift and my boyfriend loves it. So happy this item was available via Amazon and was great quality.

Neat coloring book if you're into comics!

I knew I was buying a DC coloring book but what I didn't know was that I was buying a coloring comic book. This was purchased for my husband and he loves it. ^_^ This is his first coloring book. there are so many pages to color and so many clips to pick from. The story is interesting as well.

Muy Buen Artículo para desestresarse, tiene muchas hojas para colorear el cómic

Arrived fast good condition, was a gift she loved it

I bought this book because I love colouring and my fiance and I are Harley Quinn and Joker fans. There are images of the Joker in here but is mainly focused on Harley Quinn.The pictures are comic book style and very detailed. I really love the book. My only criticism is that the pages are all double-sided. If you intend to use pens, I would advise against that and use pencils instead. I have been too wary to use my pens just in case the ink bled through, like many of the other books I have.Overall, a great book. Definitely worth the 5 stars, even with the downside of double-sided pages and the possibility of pens bleeding through. Perfect for any colouring and Harley Quinn fan.

Awesome!

Didn't buy to colour, but to put next to the hardcover so I can see the B&W art. It's lovely, wish cover stock was slightly thicker - this stuff has a tendency to bend.
