Knight Terrors brings the nightmarish powers of Insomnia into Pamela Isley's world as the Poison Ivy series perfectly finds a way to dive into the line-wide event. Every bit of horror, color, character exploration, and energy that has been delivered for over a year in the main series continues here. Truly a must-read miniseries if one is invested in Ivy's overall story. Read Full Review

The Knight Terrors crossover has had mixed results from a variety of different writers in its opening week. Wilson's vision of the darkness is very impressive. She manages to avoid clichs and show an antiheros worst nightmare of pleasant happiness. She never quite manages to dive into a biting satire on the nature of the traditional American dream. She doesn't need to. This is really more of a story about Ivy and her interior life. Its sharp. Its clever. Read Full Review

Knight Terrors: Poison Ivy #1 is its own out-the-box take on a classic DC character's nightmare and is an excellent standalone read. Read Full Review

It's not quite up to the level of some of Wilson's best Poison Ivy stories, but it builds nicely on the character work she's done with Harley and Ivy over the last year. Read Full Review

What can I say? This is an all around great comic. It shows an understanding of the characters it's working with and sets up an interesting conflict to be resolved in the future. It even addresses some of the criticisms I've long had with these characters! I've given a lot of bad reviews to comics in my time at Batman News, and that's because I feel most comics that come out these days truly aren't good.Poison Ivy, however,is the one comic book series I would say is worth checking out!Score: 8.5/10 Read Full Review

If you enjoy anything to do with horror, then I suggest picking up Knight Terrors: Poison Ivy #1.We've entered into a whole new world, and I can't wait to see what happens with Ivy and her new dream life next. I'll be keeping a close eye on Gotham and it's inhabitants over the next few months to see what effect this new villain has on everyone. I would suggest heavy therapy once they get out… if they get out! Read Full Review

Knight Terrors: Poison Ivy #1 understands the assignment when it comes to delivering on the idea of taking its characters into their worst nightmare and, as has been true with G. Willow Wilson's overall work on Poison Ivy, it does so by taking an unflinching and uncomfortable look at reality. Read Full Review

While it has its moments, it doesn't use its setting enough to really drive home the oddness that can be a part of that living. Still, there's some small moments that make the issue entertaining to read. Read Full Review

Knight Terrors: Poison Ivy #1 tries to breathe life into a tired trope, but like Ivy herself, I think Ill be happier when she leaves the Stepford Wife life behind. Read Full Review

The story by G. Willow Wilson was able to place the artists in some very fun positions in Knight Terrors: Poison Ivy #1. Neighbor Batman alone is a sure reason to pick this up, and I am excited to see what fun they are able to have in part 2. Read Full Review

G. Willow Wilson continues her impressive work with Poison Ivy in this Knight Terrors story. After falling into her slumber, Ivy finds herself coming home to a housewife version of Harley Quinn in the middle of a Stepford Wife suburbia where villains and heroes alike are best friends with unsettling grins from ear to ear. After initially being horrified at her surroundings, Ivy begins to transform into a similar mindless state after a romantic romp with Harley and loses her sense of reality. This may be one of the most heart-wrenching entries into the Knights Terror event as we watch the titular character succumb to the alternate reality around her without any ability to control her own destiny.

My only complaint with this story is that it was the only one to depict the title character losing a sense of free will. By the end of the issue, it felt as though Janet from HR was the main character, rather than Ivy herself. Hopefully that’s not the case in the story’s conclusion because it was near perfect for the first two-thirds of the book. more

This was the weakest of Wilson's Poison Ivy issues so far. Luckily, it's not technically part of the main run. That's not to say it's BAD or anything, because I've read worse books. One thing that brings this down for me is the art. As another user stated in their review, the art is a bit inconsistent throughout. At times, it's solid and actually good. However, at other times, it just makes some of the characters look off when I don't think they're supposed to. As for the story, I do think it's solid, but not up to the standards set by the main series. One thing that was a little weird was the fact that, despite actually realizing something is up here, Ivy decides to just go with the flow rather than try to figure out what's really going on. This wasn't bad, but the main reasons I'll read the next issue are the fact that it's just two issues total and I'm not getting any regular Poison Ivy content from Wilson until September. more

I was already skeptical of this event — "hero has nightmare that they can't wake from" is a musty old plot that should probably be laid to rest unless someone comes up with something novel to do with it — and if even GWW's Poison Ivy can't convince me, I think this is apt to be a two month break from DC for me.

This was not helped by Ilhan's awkward, inconsistent art, but the writing didn't offer much either. Lots of protagonists have woken up in a suburban fantasy life that's secretly terrible (Deadpool literally just did this, and had more fun with it) and this one just goes through the motions. There's a little promise in the chafe of pesticide-drenched suburbia not actually being Pam's fantasy, but she learns to accept the false life so quickly that they don't get much mileage out of it and poor Janet From HR is left trying to carry all the drama by herself. more
