This story is brimming with righteous rage at the fact that some people are born with no chance and are simply left behind by the world, and the ending is one of the best tear-jerkers I can recall in a comic in a long time. It's also a perfect summary of what Swamp Thing was saying despite Ivy's rage at what humanity has done to the environment, she's never been able to let go of her humanity. This is more like a classic Annual than anything, but it's a must-read for fans of Ivy's series. Read Full Review

I'm sure I'll pick up this one-shot in future Halloween seasons. It's one of those stories that packs a punch in a short page-count and leaves you with a genuine emotional response. G. Willow Wilson continues to be my favorite active writer at DC, and I hope she gets more opportunities to write Swamp Thing in the future. Read Full Review

Poison Ivy/ Swamp Thing: Feral Trees #1 is a great comic. The art is beautiful and the story is though provoking and touching as Wilson gets some exceptional deep character moments. While this issue may not be part of a larger story, it is a great read. Read Full Review

Overall, Poison Ivy / Swamp Thing: Feral Trees #1 is a satisfying oneshot, pair the characters who are connected to The Green, and having a philosophical discussion about it. Wilson and the rest of the creative team work well together to bring elements of horror and humor together as Ivy questions not only herself, but also grows as a character. It will be interesting to see if this story is tbe beginning of Poison Ivy's "All In era " status quo. Read Full Review

This is horror on a scale that puts the reader in the awkward predicament of seeing both sides of the same coin simultaneously. A very special mention to the art that actually made me feel cold inside and had me walking the forest in my mind. Sometimes we say sensational all to quickly but on this occasion I believe it so. If ever this was made into a Vertigo series or mini series then I for one would be front and centre. Outstanding work...........Jonn

Very well written, the story was a bit slow and the art didn't really work for me, but it was a good book. I'd love to see a longer story with Ivy and Swampy, something involving the Parliament of Trees would be cool. But the plot for this story worked as a one-shot. It did leave me wanting more information about the girl in the woods, I forget her name. I suppose she wasn't the point of the story, she was just a mystery person with mystery abilities. Good book that left me wanting more.

this was a really solid issue that talked about mature themes that involved a plant being and a woman having plant powers. It took me by surprise, and I think this may win the Eisner award for best single one-shot of 2024. I hope it does, because it had solid art, writing, and a message that is a bit profound.
