You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Aug 03, 2022This really just needs to keep going. Seriously. This is SUCH a cool road trip with a beautiful and gorgeously conflicted monster hero. Idaho is pretty far west, but I mean...she could head south and get in a little bit of sightseeing and infection along the Rockies. Maybe cruise through Southern California. Stroll through Gateway City and spend some time spreading spores in wine country on her way up to Seattle. I mean...she could do that, right? (I totally think she could do that.) This is too fun to end as quickly as its going to. Read Full Review

COMICON - Scott Redmond
Aug 09, 2022'Poison Ivy' continues to take readers on a gorgeous yet horrifying journey deep into the character, but also deep into human emotions and issues in a truly honest and powerful way. A truly character-defining run that is being put together here, a series that everyone needs to be picking up and reading. Read Full Review

Aug 05, 2022There is something to nitpick here. Its somewhat unbelievable that the two women could clean this garden area in one day. Among the garbage strewn in it is a rusted-out truck with no tires and weeds growing out of its engine. I dont know how much of the detail of the gardens original state was dictated by Willow and how much was created by Takara, but it makes what is essentially a montage sequence of yardwork feel a little silly. That said, its a very minor complaint and there is a good narrative reason for Ivy to not stick around beyond a single day of work. Read Full Review

Aug 06, 2022Poison Ivy remains a really strong comic with a wonderful focus on artwork and character development. This series is going a long way to all those ideas of rehabilitating Poison Ivy as a character. Read Full Review

Dark Knight News - Fay Clark
Aug 05, 2022This series just keeps ramping up the tension and getting better. Every issue I read, the more invested in the plotline and this version of Ivy I become. Throwing in a Harley moment will ALWAYS be a win for me. Can we just take a moment to ask what the last panel was about, though? I need answers and I need them now. What?! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? They have really stepped Poison Ivy #3up. Read Full Review

Batman-News - Theresa Campagna
Aug 02, 2022I still don't think G. Willow Wilson's Poison Ivy is a bad book. There's definitely entertaining elements here. It's just that I think this book could be so much more. Poison Ivy has so much potential to be a complex, sympathetic character, but you have to do the work to make that happen and not confuse complexity with things that are contradictory.

This is (just like the two issues before it) absolutely brilliant! G. Willow Wilson is a phenomenal writer. This story is powerful, emotional, moving, and dark. It's a perfect continuation of what happened in fear state pullifrom the emotional trauma ivy went through and is currently still feeling. The artwork is beautiful as well and had me taking time to sit and admire at times. This series has been perfect!

I really love how Ivy is visibly conflicted and contradictory in this issue. It's painful watching her not only shaving her skin, but pinning for Harley, and not wanting to hurt a gardener that in theory she's planning on killing.

Fantastic, the writer really captures Posion Ivy. I like how the series illustrates how Ivy can justify her evil acts. Whether it's for mother nature, or what. But it never turns out the way she plans.

I am loving this book so much, the artwork is great, the writing is engaging, and I'm connecting with Poison Ivy in ways I never thought I would. There's a strong sense of creation through destruction, and it's toxic for the lack of a better word. The book is tapping into manic, colorful sense of doom.

This was my favorite issue of this series yet, and I can't believe how much I like this. That's not to say I don't like Poison Ivy or that I was expecting this run to be bad. I just didn't really have any expectations in the first place. I haven't read much of Poison Ivy prior to this book and she's never been one of my favorite Batman villains. However, Wilson and Takara have put together a super compelling story here that is maintaining my interest and making me invested in Ivy's character, particularly so with this issue where the sentimental side we saw in the previous issue is possibly growing stronger here.

This is not an exciting book by any means, there's zero action in it and Poison Ivy doesn't use her powers in any fun way. But it does have heart. It's painting Pammy in a different light and has some issues. She misses Harley, she gets to work on a little garden, and she's having possible hallucinations. Then it gets weird at the end and she goes to get a job. Not sure what the ulterior motive is. I guess we will find out. If it's just to make money then that would be weird for a supervillain.
