There is no doubt that ‘Poison Ivy' is one of the best comic books being published right now, and this latest issue takes it to even greater levels of amazing. A character exploration and development story through and through, this creative team is pulling out every single stop to create something that will surely be a definitive story for the title character and surely will be seen as a classic story one day.

The first nine issues of the series have been a movement west. Wilson seems to be teasing a similarly extended road trip east in the chapters to come. The restless road trip format has worked quite well. All of the many little episodes that fit into a cross-country drive make for a remarkably fun format that has likely never been attempted in an extended mainstream series before. The darkness of the anti-heros journey out should be mirrored by the relative levity of a potential heros journey back over the course of the NEXT nine issues if all goes well. Read Full Review

Poison Ivy deserves a break and I'm glad Wilson's given her a mini vacation. I loved seeing my girls back together and really hope the nice wholesome, heart warming plot keeps going. Just let my girls be happy and together! I can't wait to keep going on this journey with Ivy, and you definitely won't want to miss out! Read Full Review

Poison Ivy #9 is a nice break for Poison Ivy as Harley Quinn enters the story for a little rest and relaxation. It's a good issue in particular, as it makes a statement about their relationship, how they work, and how they truly are perfect for each other. For fans of this relationship, you couldn't ask for a better example of why they work so damn well. Read Full Review

This is the first issue that gave fans any real hope that it would end with Ivy going back to being an antihero, and that in and of itself makes it a win in my eyes. But the passion the creative team clearly has for the Harley/Ivy relationship is what's really going to make it a hit. Read Full Review

Poison Ivy #9 is a meditative interlude that begs readers to embrace every gay and hopeful moment for however long it lasts. Read Full Review

Poison Ivy #9 banks on one of the DC Universe's premiere couples spending a day together being enough to keep readers engaged, and it's a bet I think they win. Read Full Review

I believe what we have here is another Harley and Ivy "hallmark issue. However, I'm seeing the same problems with the relationship that I always have seen. DC writers do their best to make it as ideal as possible, but an idealized relationship isn't actually a believable or relatable one. Read Full Review

I have been expecting this issue since it was announced in the solicitations, had very high expectations, and it did NOT disappoint! G Willow Wilson clearly knows these characters very well, and has a lot of love for them and their relationship. Marcia Tamara’s art is breathtaking, and does a fantastic work in visualizing the clear love these two characters share. This is probably the issue I’ll find myself keep going back to. Best Harley & Ivy issue by far!

What an amazing issue. I absolutely love the dynamic between Harley and Ivy. The characterization in particular is great, particularly with Ivy. I really liked how her use of the laima spores almost represented someone pushing people away due to multiple possible problems, such as depression (That's how I saw it at least; symbolism is subjective and everyone is welcome to their own interpretations!). I am glad Ivy isn't gonna just pop back up in Gotham right away, but I'm still excited to see her make her way back eventually. This is, in my personal opinion, one of the best issues of this run, if not THE best.

This was really well done.

It felt like a dream, which is kinda great because that's probably how it felt for Ivy.
Amazing issue.

A very pleasant surprise. I never understood why Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy are together, as it didnt make sense to me. But this issue really showed me why. It's just a filler issue, but it fleshes out and develops the two characters. The story was nice and touching, and I like how Harley Quinn tells Poison Ivy why she shouldn't be afraid of herself, and to stop punishing herself.

Ivy and Harley are so great together.

Not gay enough

This kind of loved up issue drives me nuts as it serves no purpose in the overall story of Pam. The way Pam got Harley to trip was it's saving grace as it shows the power of the mind needed to actually understand the Green. I have said this countless times and I will say it once more " please stop fleecing people out of hard earned money with sweet filler stories that would have worked wonderfully well in an 80 page issue with 4 or 5 of these great stories

This was my least favorite issue so far of what has been a stellar poison ivy run. However that's not to say it wasn't still good. I find Harley and ivy's relationship to be so heartwarming and really got a kick out of Harley enjoying some spores out on the town

This issue could be easily contained in two pages. Nice slice of life moment stretched too thin that feels like parody.

Probably a good issue if you're a fan of the Ivy/Harley ship, but I'm not.

I'm not sure what the point of this issue was. Harley shows up, they have sex, go around town on a date and then Harley leaves. She tells her to come how when she's done. I'm not sure I buy this as Harley. Harley would have definitely stayed with her for a while and caused some mayhem and then declared she was bored, but it never got to that point. Kind of a waste of a good character.
