  Poison Ivy #47 is an exciting climax of a long-ongoing descent into chaos that the book has been building up to across several issues. As a prelude, the issue perfectly sets up Batman: Bad Seeds, and gives readers a taste of the mayhem that they can expect from the crossover event. If the rest of the crossover is as good as this prelude, we are in for a wild and intense ride. Read Full Review

  Poison Ivy #47 sets up "Bad Seeds" by chronicling Ivy's downward spiral that ends up threatening Gotham City, her friends and her sanity. The opening salvo hints at massive ramifications that will impact Ivy deeper than whatever happens top Gotham City. The story and art are fun and tragic. Read Full Review

  There are daggers in her back on the cover. Pamela makes reference to Julius Caesar's final words. It's a bit too obvious. That being said, it is cool seeing super villain rise to power and then a fall from grace. The fact that she has been so appealing and so relatable for so much of the run of the series makes the fall seem all more intense.Pam’s final moments at the hands of Wilson seem to be at odds with the wisdom and tenderness that Pam had built up over the course of the past four years. It's still fun, though. Read Full Review

  Poison Ivy #47 is without a doubt an essential read, and arguably the strongest issue of this run in quite some time. The balance between political office and eco-warrior has always been a fine line to walk, and watching Ivy navigate it, desperately trying to gauge where her true allegiances lie, has been a fascinating and genuinely compelling piece of character work. Fresh, unpredictable, and unmissable, especially if you have been following the Harley and Ivy fallout across both titles. Do not skip this one. Read Full Review

  Poison Ivy #47 isn’t the end of the Parliament of Trees and Ivy-as-mayor storylines. It is the end of these stories as purely a Poison Ivy concern and in that way is a very effective demarcation in the stories. Wilson takes them to an emotional climax that serves as an effective transition into a new phase of narrative. It’s very effective, and Ivy’s fall from grace is very satisfying. Read Full Review

  It is made more for fans of the series rather than bringing in new readers to this series. Read Full Review
