  Things get really real as ‘Poison Ivy’ #46 shifts the series focus just a bit to give another perspective to everything that has happened in fiction and reality. Everything about this series continues to hit as hard as it did over four years and forty-six issues ago. Read Full Review

  You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff

  If there HAS to be an issue of Poison Ivy that doesn’t feature Poison Ivy, it’s a good choice to have it happen practically four years into the series when she’s essentially a demagogue in charge of the government of one of the largest cities in the nation. The fact that Janet and Juhi are really cool characters doesn’t hurt either. They wouldn’t work really well on their own in their own title, but it’s kind of cool that Wilson has enough confidence in them to center an entire issue around them. Read Full Review

  Poison Ivy #46 adds a dash of the surreal to a walking tour of Gotham City, as two supporting characters grapple with obstacles beyond their weight class. The brisk pace, dark humor, simmering tension and subtle art come together to deliver a compelling one-off read that ties into the various plot threads from the series, but also stands on its own.

  This issue did a great job of slowly pulling back the curtain to show us just how corrupted Ivy has become, just in time for her reign to become the entire DCU’s problem. Read Full Review

  A thoughtful bridge chapter that prioritizes character development and thematic depth over major plot progression while continuing to build anticipation for the series' next major turning point. Read Full Review

  Get Your Comic On - Michael Brennan

  When all is said and done, issue #46 is very Janet and side-character focused, which some might not enjoy, but I got a real kick out of it. It’s more of a story-building issue, which I am always down for, because the payoff is usually worth it. As I said earlier, these issues have been building towards something larger, so it’s a great time to be in this world and reading this comic run. Read Full Review

  Janet and Juhi take the spotlight in an issue that feels like the last final moments of calm before the chaos that is about to be unleashed during Batman: Bad Seeds. Read Full Review
