Harley Quinn: Black + White + Red (Volume 1 (Digital)) with a cover date of June, 2020.
Synopsis for "Harleen: Red"
At Arkham Asylum, Dr. Leah holds up cards in front of Dr. Harleen Quinzel (Harley Quinn) to get her to talk. The latter gets annoyed and tells if she's trying to cure her with it, though Leah tells she's just doing it to annoy her so that she may open up. Leah holds up a red card in front of her and asks what the color means to her and starts having flashbacks of her sessions with the Joker.
Harleen relents and tells Dr. Leah that it signifies her first night she had sex with the Joker and the time she took an innocent life, thus the end of her normal self. Red reminds her of the Joker's lips, the murders they committed on the streets of Gotham, which she at the same time regrets and feels joyous about. Red also signifies her bloody breakup with the Joker. Finally, she tells him that red is also the color of a rose but refuses to state anything further.
Leah later tells the asylum's director she got nothing out of Harleen, causing him to state they must find out what red means to her since she's been calling to 'Red' every night to help her escape. The director doesn't want Arkham to become the butt of jokes with another escape, nor wants to seek the help of Batman thinking they'll be further made fun of. As he tells Leah to find what Red means to Harley, they notice her being broken out. The 'Red' Harleen talked about is Poison Ivy, who helps her escape.
