In Harley Quinn: Uncovered #1 by DC Comics, Quinn admits that she is carrying the DC Universe on her back over its greatest heroes, as she's made an undeniable impact across many different mediums - including comic books, film, and video games - which has propelled her into superstardom.
Harley Quinn has become one of the most popular comic characters despite the antihero not officially making her debut until the 1990s in Batman: The Animated Series. However, after splitting up from the Joker and starring in her own comics, Quinn has evolved into a household name, as her adventures in the DC Universe made her star rise dramatically. With Quinn starring in multiple film projects, video games, an animated series of her own, and comics, she just admitted she knows she's carrying the DC brand on her back.
In Harley Quinn: Uncovered #1 by DC Comics, the comic collects some of Harley's greatest variant covers from several creators. The comic features an introduction from Dave Wielgosz and art from Riley Rossmo, the former artist for the ongoing Harley Quinn series. Quinn welcomes and invites readers to the variant cover collection while admitting that she's been carrying the "most successful DC comic books, video games, cartoons, feature films, and someday Metaverse experiences" on her back. Considering her current status and usage at DC Comics and its expanded media, Harley Quinn isn't exactly wrong in her claims.
