Starting with a bang.This is a beautiful and dark story, both narratively and visually. I had my expectations high for this one and it delivered. Ivy is so compelling in this story and she finally feels as a complete character after her appearances in Batman, Catwoman and Harley Quinn from the Fear State storyline. She's oddly relatable in her "villainous" ways, and the story as GWW mentions, is about love. But this love is not only romantic, but it is love to life, to death and to the cycles of nature.

I think in comparison to Issue #1 this one feels a little slower and without much plot. It still good enough and shows her humanity and introduces the symbol of what might stop Ivy from going this way.

I really love how Ivy is visibly conflicted and contradictory in this issue. It's painful watching her not only shaving her skin, but pinning for Harley, and not wanting to hurt a gardener that in theory she's planning on killing.

I honestly can't believe this book is real. its so unafraid of exploring Ivy and her contradictory nature, which some other Ivy books touch upon but don't fully commit to it. I'd say this issue is missing a couple of pages as everything happens too fast, but still i can roll with it and what its saying.

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).

I have no words for this. This issue was incredible. It made me laugh, it made me feel uncomfortable af, and it literally made me cry.
