This story could have gone bad in so many ways, but instead it's a poignant and powerful tale that actually makes sense as both a start of darkness for Poison Ivy and a humanizing touch for Pamela Isley. Read Full Review
This is a fascinating telling of a possible origin of Poison Ivy. It creates some pathos for this character, a character I have always found to be very intriguing. I loved it, but I did have a slight question about the lack of consequences. Read Full Review

Sara Kipin is a treasure. her work on Poison Ivy: Thorns made the project for me, and tied it all together seamlessly. If you know and love the character, I would say this is a good read and a good intro for people who don't know much about her. Read Full Review
Poison Ivy: Thorns doesn't hold back. It's a gorgeous graphic novel that doesn't sweet-talk any of its topics. The gothic-horror fits Ivy incredibly well.
A powerful and an amazing tale of Poison ivy's origin story.
This was the worst book ive ever read in my life. If I wanted some gay ass comic about some idiots I would have gotten one but no you just had to fuck it up and make her get with some ugly ass looking girl that is very irrelevant and I hope you never publish a book again. I wish I could take back the time that it took me to read this and I hope you know that this book has ruined my life in the 30 minutes that I spent reading this garbage, hoping that somehow, it would get better but it absolutely did not. I hope you never make it as a publisher and I think you should quit while you're ahead!
