Poison Ivy, the hit six-issue DC mini-series, which had previously been given a second six-issue run in December of 2022, is now officially upgrading to an ongoing comic book series this June with Poison Ivy#13!
From the mind of G. Willow Wilson with art by Marcio Takara and Jessica Fong on covers, take a trip with Poison Ivy on her continuing quest to rectify man’s mistakes against nature and Make Earth Green Again at any cost. The comic book series, as noted by the DC press release, “shines best when we see Ivy being forced to confront humanity, both her own and that of others, and in the process forces the reader to truly see the world”.
Launched in June 2022 during DC’s annual Pride celebration, Poison Ivy was initially a limited series focused on the dark, rich, character-driven exploration of “an Ivy who is both a giver of mercy and merciless, who is beautiful and deadly, broken and fierce” with trippy art, all new characters, and ethical questions, each issue drove Ivy to near horror.
Look for Poison Ivy Vol.1: The Virtuous Cycle, a beautiful hardcover collection of Poison Ivy #1-6, out May 16th, 2023.
Atagun Ilhan, an alumnus of DC’s Milestone Initiative, evoked “a haunting, evocative vision to Ivy’s newest adventure, with impressive shadow work and explosive action scenes” (AiPT) in the first two issues of Poison Ivy’s second story arc, bringing “emotional eco-horror energy while building off what came before to enter a new phase for the green-loving villain”. Marcio Takara, the series’ regular artist, returned for February’s Poison Ivy #9, for sale now.
Poison Ivy #13, coming in June of 2023, will mark the hit DC title’s entrance into an ongoing comic book series that sees the return of Gotham City’s prodigal plant girl! Poison Ivy #13 will have a DC Pride variant cover by Claire Roe along with main cover by Fong and variants by Kai Carpenter, Frank Cho and Mindy Lee.
POISON IVY #12
When Pamela Isley’s accidental collateral damage comes a calling, her and Janet’s high-profile self-care jaunt screeches to a shockingly tormenting halt. Can Harley expect Ivy home safe and sound or is GLØP’s body count going up by one more?
