UPDATE: Stjepan Šejić has clarified his shift towards creator-owned projects Twitter, writing, "i love working with [DC] and am in no way done, i am however in need of some severe health maintenance." This means taking on projects without "strictly defined deadline" for now, as well as cutting back on how much he does. He added, "if and when my health takes a turn for the better, rest assured i will be announcing my return." The below article has been updated accordingly
DC's just announced Harley Quinn: Black + White + Red, an anthology series made up of fourteen different chapters by a number of acclaimed writers and artists, for its Digital First initiative. Alongside the announcement of the book, DC provided a preview of Harley Quinn: Black + White + Red #1, which is also Harleen and Sunstone creator Stjepan Šejić's final work-for-hire project as he begins a short break to focus on creator-owned projects.
Lettered by Gabriela Downie, the preview shows Dr. Leah administering color therapy so as to agitate Harley, who herself is a trained psychologist. Harley appreciates the acknowledgement of her skills as a psychologist. The scene itself is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, as the book is in black-and-white with occasional dashes of red.
You can see the preview for Harley Quinn: Black + White + Red #1 below.
Future chapters of Harley Quinn: Black + White + Red will feature work from Paul Dini, Saladin Ahmed, Erica Henderson, Joe Quinones, Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, Chad Hardin, Tim Seeley, Juan Ferreyra, Daniel Kibblesmith, Mirka Andolfo, Dani, Riley Rossmo and more.
Harley Quinn: Black + White + Red #1 is available now digitally. New chapters will publish on Fridays.
