That’s exactly my thoughts. On the one hand that’s great that he questioned himself. But on the other hand she really did some crimes

Life finds a way, and Poison Ivy is the living proof of that. Dr. Pamela Isley is more than what she once was, connected to the Earth and to humanity in a way only other creatures like Swamp Thing are. Poison Ivy fights for her friends, for her love, and for a better world, even if she doesn't always know the best way to go about it. Wilson, Takara, and Prianto's "Origin of Species" has been a powerful recalibrating of Ivy's origins, andPoison Ivy #21 sets Pamela up to return from near death and face the Floronic Man with renewed purpose and clarity.

This is the best series I'm reading right now, and this issue continued to showcase Wilson's knack for dialogue. I hope that this level of quality is sustainable now that this origin is essentially over. Read Full Review
The decision to split up Isley's origin into three parts and include recent elements such as Bella Garten indicated an exciting take on the story. Unfortunately what we got was unfocused, episodic, and full of repeated ideas and frustrating dead-ends. If you're unfamiliar with Ivy's origin or want to see a more in-depth blow-by-blow then this is a serviceable version. Otherwise, it's gonna be a no from me dog. Read Full Review
This reminds me a little of The Incredible Hulk TV show of the 70's. Before people say nonsense hear me out or ignore me and move on. It tells a story if Love ,sorrow and deep regret built around anger and self loathing. This takes place in a society that is lost and Pam is the cure. The cure is probably worse than the disease but aren't they all??? Aren't they all.
This concludes the retelling of Poison Ivy's origin and includes her first encounter with Batman. This is an expansion on a characters origin that is actually done very well, without serious retcons or mischaracterization (Take not Zdarsky). The art is great as well.
This comic remains one of DC's strongest titles. In my opinion, this was the best DC comic this week by far. Definitely check this out if you're a Poison Ivy fan.
finally caught up to this series, and I got to say this is one of the best modern series out there. I like how this series fleshes out and makes me actually care about Poison Ivy.
It reads well and I liked the setup with the brunette in the Asylum; now she can reappear later in the story and Pam will have someone else to hook up with and/or battle. Maybe Ivy was due for a soft retcon/origin refresher, but we really should've done it between story arcs, not in the middle of one. Or at least not for 3 issues.
The art continues to be beautiful, but this is the first time in the run when this story gave me pause. I understand that this is Ivy's narration of her story, but man, does she white wash her past crimes and paint Batman as paranoid and delusional, which I really didn't love.
