But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Oct 28, 2026Poison Ivy Issue 49 is like the final act of a Shakespearean play. There is an air of Macbeth, or another of the Bard’s great kingly stories, within this penultimate chapter, as Ivy runs out of allies, friends, and connections. Read Full Review

AIPT - Joe Jones
Oct 28, 2026Poison Ivy #49 is one of the single best Poison Ivy comics ever published, and is a significant culmination of the fantastic work that G. Willow Wilson has done with the character since launching the book with issue one way back in 2022. With this run, she has succeeded in greatly defining Poison Ivy by giving her a signature voice and distinctive personality with a clear set of motivations, morals, and values. Likely future writers of the character will look to G. Willow Wilson’s shining example when forming their unique version of this iconic character. Read Full Review

Fanlight Zone - Ken M.
Oct 28, 2026Isley’s last stand is a valiant effort in design with more enemies circling around her. Wilson dives into the heavy weight carried by her actions. Lins & Prianto balance out the drama with solid action points. A solid lead-in for the major Bat event finale. Read Full Review

The Batman Universe - Adam Koppel
Oct 28, 2026Poison Ivy #49 puts the anti-heroine through an arduous and status quo shifting ordeal with a couple of plot twists that prove cathartic and hint at things still yet to come. For fans of the Poison Ivy series or the "Bad Seeds" crossover, this issue is one to not miss. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Theron Couch
Oct 29, 2026Bad Seeds may end in Batman: Bad Seeds - Sunrise #1, but the core storyline that the event grew out of ends here. The larger plot of Bad Seeds’ final issue may demand her presence, but Poison Ivy #49 is the big, emotional finish when it comes to Ivy herself. Wilson, Lins, and Prianto absolutely stick this landing. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
Oct 31, 2026Much like its Batman counterpart, the Poison Ivy chapters of Bad Seeds have struggled with momentum. That is certainly the case with Poison Ivy #49 as it feels like it has been months since we last checked in with her, even though it was only a month. Read Full Review
