THE DEATH OF PAMELA ISLEY Dr. Jason Woodrue, the Floronic Man (a.k.a. Floro), has stacked the deck in his favor. Neither Ivy's powers nor her allies are enough to put an end to Floro and his devilish plan to turn Ivy's victims against her. As time, and her own supply of blood, runs out, one thing becomes apparent: to bring the outbreak of the parasitic fungi, Ophiocordyceps Lamia, to an end, Poison Ivy will have to kill both her own creator and herself.
Wilson has been gradually expanding complexity of things that shouldn't since she first started to tell Pam's story a couple of years ago. It's quite breathtaking to see where she's brought the story to at this stage. Everything is so very, very still. But there is kind of a crescendo going on as the momentum of narrative reaches a climax here at the end of the second year. Quite impressive. Read Full Review
Wilson has tied up everything in this issue that was an ongoing arch. I can not explain how 24 issues of this run has affected the character and the way she should be perceived from now on, but I really hope the whole of the DC team is paying attention. Poison Ivy should always be written like this. I can not wait to see what Wilson has in store for us next. Read Full Review
After a few issues that overstayed their welcome, this conclusion of a major part of the titular character's story makes all the patience readers invested worth it. I can confidently say that this is one of the best things I've read by a major publisher this year. Read Full Review

The two biggest narrative threads we've been following for months: Ivy's struggle with her own mortality and her relationship with the impulsive and untrustworthy Quinn completely fizzle out. Read Full Review
Nice conclusion to the arc but left me with more questions than answers and that I'm afraid is never a bad thing. The art was great in places but felt a little rushed and not quite where it usually is but that's me being a bit mean....JM
