Before Ivy embarks on her trip back to Gotham, our verdant villainess sets her sights on a fungus-loving Hollywood celebrity with a lifestyle brand and spa that’s raising some major red flags on Ivy’s radar. All this because poor Janet from HR wanted to have some R&R before the car ride back east! Aw jeez!
Character development, deep emotional moments, and something quite unexpected throwing a hitch in Ivy's plans to get back to Harley Quinn are at the center of another fabulous issue of the awesome and now fully ongoing ‘Poison Ivy' series. This tenth issue circles back to some of the elements of the first arc and builds in even more drama and tension for Ivy as she tries to figure out her place in the world now that her mission has changed.

Poison Ivy has been a triumph. A real success story. The six-issue mini-series is on its tenth issue, and there are more on the way. Sometime in February, it was announced that the series would be extended indefinitely, and...honestly, it couldnt have happened to a nicer character...or a nicer creative team. Wilson, Takara, and Prianto have been doing an amazingly sophisticated job with a character who has never really been paired with the right team before. Its nice to see Ivy getting along so well with the creative team thats been ushering her through her own title. Read Full Review
POISON IVY #10 suffers somewhat from Janets presence. There are possibilities for her going forward depending on how Willow further crafts the story. But in this issue she doesnt add much more than a cheerleader quality. That said, a weak issue of this series is still high quality and shouldnt be missed. Read Full Review
Poison Ivy #10 is an absolutely gorgeous "side quest" for Pamela and her friend Janet, exploring the misguided nature and incidental harm of toxic wellness culture, the lie of "conscious capitalism," and Poison Ivy's continued impact on the world around her. Read Full Review
This issue feels more like a bridge between the last story and the next, and doesn't quite have the intensity of some of Wilson's best issues, but it's still building on some of the great work Wilson's done with the character over the last nine issues. Read Full Review
Poison Ivy #10 is every bit as smart, scary, and sexy as Ivy. However, some moments of narrative ambiguity keep it from being the best possible version of itself. Read Full Review
It looks like we are in for an interesting next issue! Read Full Review
Wilson is taking Poison Ivy in a direction I would not have expected, but there is potential. It's time to see if Ivy can really support an ongoing title as its sole protagonist.Score: 6.5/10 Read Full Review
While I don't love Janet in this issue, I love the "side quest" feel of Poison Ivy #10 and all of the jabs at the "conscious capitalism" and toxic wellness movements. That is, perhaps, the absolute best part of the entirety of the Poison Ivy series how it shines a light on our culture in a really interesting way while also examining the character. Read Full Review
G willow Wilson is a perfect fit as the writer and it shows as this whole volume has been absolutely phenomenal. This issue continues that as this book is wonderful. I really wish this book was ending soon as it's just so consistently great.
Poison Ivy x Gwyneth Paltrow is not crossover I wanted but the one I needed especially if it's a drug-induced orgy. Consensual tho, at least I hope.
Can't wait for the next issue Wherein Ivy finally pulls out the strap
Those middle aged white women events would be so much better if it was just an excuse for a fuck fest, tbh.
Back to greatness again. Great art and intriguing promises.
Not quite as good as the last issue for me, but that's what I was expecting after how good Issue 9 was. However, this was still a good and interesting issue. I particularly liked the talk about the different outlooks on saving the planet. The wellness retreat was an intriguing environment to stick Ivy in and I'm looking forward to see where there story goes there. As for Janet, I'm not quite sure how I feel about what happened between herself and Ivy. I'm just hoping it doesn't end up messing things up between her and Harley, but I'm thinking we're gonna have to wait at least a couple issues to see what happens there. As for the art, I've been very glad to have Marcio Takara back for the past two issues. His style really fits with Ivy and t more
I love Pam on every level and her inner monologue is a work of genius but the story is so-so and at times meanders like a bad Thelma and Louise script. The first 6 issues were pure horror with live and this is a side salad of something that you will forget about by breakfast time
This book has crashed and burned for me. It's not like it began in any way. Now we are on a retreat with a teenage girl? I don't think the writer has any idea where she is going with this story. It just meanders around. I have officially dropped it, which is unfortunate because I love the character, but she's a villain, not a babysitter.
