The folks over at BleedingCool shared some preview panels from Conner and Palmiotti’s “Uncommon Bonds” story. It features Harley heading to Wayne Manor to protect Alfred from an incoming robbery. She explains that this is to pay back the butler for aiding her pet beaver. The two end up taking out the bad guys together, and make a pretty good team in doing so. However, the previews end as Alfred begins piecing together some clues as to who is after Wayne Manor and what is behind all of this.
