THE PAINFUL TRUTH REVEALED! The gruesome and violent conclusion to Poison Ivy's confrontation with Marshview's past and present. Plus: some very, very, very hurtful things are said, and Poison Ivy discovers an unpleasant truth about Janet.
There has been real and profound character development that has gone on with Pamela Eisley in the past three years over the course of the series. It's really fun to see what Wilson is doing with respect to that. And how she really is a very complicated person. This is an often a case in comic books. The desire to maintain a status quo is always really important. So they doesn't tend to be as much character development as there could be. Which is why it's really cool to see Pamela learning from, what she's been through and learning a little bit more about herself every issue. It makes this particular series one the most reliably good mainstream comics in recent memory. Read Full Review

With all respects, G.Willow Wilson's Poison Ivy reads like a pretty good CW drama like Supernatural. If CW is a curse word for you, so be it, but it has built a decent but melodramatic supporting cast of friends and foes around Ivy. While the dynamics of the interpersonal relationships and the insistence of Ivy's redemption are tedious elements, at least the book retains consistency. The monster of the week is more than just a detour, but long payoff to Wilson's foreshadowing. Still, it isn't very satisfying overall. Ivy is a frustratingly selfish protagonist and her journey is more than hard to empathize with. Nonetheless, this issue builds upon it's current lore and forges ahead toward whatever resolution is coming for this psycho. Read Full Review
