This whole story walks a very fine line and does it well and as always the art bumps its impact up to 11, this time with some truly chilling images throughout. Read Full Review

POISON IVYs strength to this point has been in presenting character vignettes that link together to form a larger, ongoing narrative. Each issue presented insightful interactions with other people even as Ivy intends to kill off most if not all of them. POISON IVY #5 breaks that pattern. Ivy doesnt spend any enlightening time with other people. The issue is not self-contained. As noted, this is obviously setting up the end of the arc. Unfortunately giving into that necessity results in the weakest story to this point. But the art, even more, interesting than previous issues, more than makes up for it. Read Full Review

This continues to be one of the darkest Poison Ivy stories ever told, as G. Willow Wilson takes us deep inside the twisted psyche of Pamela Isley like never before. Read Full Review

This has been an amazing series so far, and if Wilson keeps going with this… then it will be one of my favourite Ivy stories. Ever. I'm holding back my definite answer until we get some more answers. The art and writing had been so awesome lately that I can not imagine this series ending. Read Full Review

If you're not reading G. Willow Wilson's Poison Ivy, you should be. It is a diamond in the rough of DC comic books coming out in this day and age. It's taken a character whose personality was lost and given her definition and complexity again. I don't know if issue #6 will stick the landing as a conclusion to Ivy's first arc, but for now, I'm incredibly happy with this series.Score: 9/10 Read Full Review

Pamela was running out of road at the beginning of the issue, but Wilson is also running out of road, narratively speaking. The central heart of what shes exploring is spilling out all over the place, and there hasnt been a lot of work done to keep it all carefully composed. The emotions of the story feel very real and very compelling, but any larger vision of anything beyond Pam doesnt really seem to be in clear focus as the series approaches its sixth issue.

Pure excellence.

Hallucination Batman is officially my favorite character in this comic

Probably the best thing about this book is the art. The images perfectly understand what needs to be done so to make the most impact out of the plot.

This was the best issue yet for me. I'm not sure if anyone else felt this way or if this was the intent of this issue, but, in my eyes, this felt somewhat representative of a victim of sexual assault and/or grooming. Either way, this was still really good. The hallucination of Batman was cool, but I felt like he was there for a little too long. The Green Man's design is really cool and I think Takara does another amazing job drawing him. Plus, Level does a great job with the first eight pages of the book. While I'm not usually a fan of the artist changing in the middle of the issue, it wasn't that strong of a change here and I thought both artists were great.

Interesante que las primeras 8 páginas las haya hecho Brian Level, capturó muy bien las alucinaciones de Pam. Se complementa con lo que narra Wilson.
Ya sólo queda una issue para cerrar este arco y siento que Wilson tiene mucho más por contar, espero que lo logre cerrar en 22 páginas!
El giro de la historia fue bueno, aunque se veía venir desde el primer issue, esto impactará en la vida de Pam que tendrá que hacerse cargo (?) de lo que hizo.
Destaco también la aparición de Batman actuando como alucinación. Yo habría esperado que fuese Harley, pero que haya sido Batman fue demasiado bien pensando, muy inteligente y muy adecuado.

The first pages of the comic were raw. The batman bits were fun but a little too much. Tho, I like the way the story is going, and how finally Ivy is really dying while her plan is far from being completed. I'm really looking forward to the conclusion of this arc in next issue (Kinda nervous tbh).

Great overall.

This was another good issue. I like that she is hallucinating Batman. That is a very nice dynamic and plot device. The conflict with Woodrue has some high stakes. Overall, I'm enjoying it.

Artwork is off the charts. Ivy faces her nightmares.
