PART 1 of 3 of THE EXPLOSIVE CLIMAX OF YEAR TWO OF POISON IVY! The end times are upon Pamela Isley. The rotten seeds she has sown across America have come home to roost, and her greatest enemy has torn himself from her flesh. With the verdant villainess on death's door, is there any hope...for the rest of the world, or has the reign of Dr. Jason Woodrue, the Floronic Man, begun?
I have no idea where we can go from here. Yet again G. Willow Wilson has left us on a cliffhanger with Poison Ivy #22. Our girl is fighting for her life, so I'll be there come sun or storm to see how she fares. Read Full Review
While there isn't nearly as much meat to the story as the previous arc, it does take an interesting twist towards the end as we discover exactly what Ivy's plan to stop Woodrue isand how much she's willing to sacrifice. Read Full Review
It's a lovely issue, even if it could stand just a pinch more forward motion. Read Full Review
I love Poison Ivy as a character and I appreciate this creative team deeply. Unfortunately, this issue isn't as strong as the sum of its parts and leaves me decidedly underwhelmed. One can only hope that this series catches a second wind after this unmercifully long arc comes to an end. Read Full Review
This issue moves the story forward in only the most incremental way possible. It's essentially a glorified plant zombie kaiju fight and not a particularly good one. I think this series is in need of a major overhaul. Read Full Review
I'm going to give this comic a personal review as I'm a fan boy at heart and absolutely love Ivy. The art was for me personally near perfect as I just love the intricate detail of those glorious lines and the colours that only your imagination can conjure up seem to jump of the page. The inner monologue is an instrument of torment that works great but for me the team dynamics don't work so well unfortunately but that didn't detract from my over love of this comic.........JM
Solid issue right here
So much dialogue, so many inner narration boxes. Absolutely nothing meaningful said or anything interesting happening. Pam herself has gotten steadily less compelling as the book has gone on, and the dumb origin story did the opposite of establishing emotional stakes for this incoherent conflict. At this point, a book about Janet from HR, Solomon Grundy, and Croc hanging out together and doing capers would be more engaging than whatever is supposed to be going on here.
