  You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff

  There has been real and profound character development that has gone on with Pamela Eisley in the past three years over the course of the series. It's really fun to see what Wilson is doing with respect to that. And how she really is a very complicated person. This is an often a case in comic books. The desire to maintain a status quo is always really important. So they doesn't tend to be as much character development as there could be. Which is why it's really cool to see Pamela learning from, what she's been through and learning a little bit more about herself every issue. It makes this particular series one the most reliably good mainstream comics in recent memory. Read Full Review

  This series has successfully taken Ivy from a Batman villain to essentially the bridge between Gotham's human and monstrous world, and it all comes down to giving her a tense but intriguing relationship with the Green. Read Full Review

  Level’s artwork for this is alright, but you know it’s a step down from what we usually get and it feels a little more mainstream comic book standard in a way. It’s solid and does what it needs to, but the book has certainly been treated well with its artwork over its run. The main story feels like it’s just rushed here, with Cooper dealt with fairly quickly considering its looming presence and backstory, while the meeting in the Green doesn’t feel like it gives us a place to move forward from. Janet being Janet is no surprise and she takes a real legit hit because of it, but through the narration we know it’s all going to come out and be a part of a larger problem sooner or later, so it just feels like we’re spinning our wheels there a bit more.

  Batman-News - Aaron Ray Jr.

  With all respects, G.Willow Wilson's Poison Ivy reads like a pretty good CW drama like Supernatural. If CW is a curse word for you, so be it, but it has built a decent but melodramatic supporting cast of friends and foes around Ivy. While the dynamics of the interpersonal relationships and the insistence of Ivy's redemption are tedious elements, at least the book retains consistency. The monster of the week is more than just a detour, but long payoff to Wilson's foreshadowing. Still, it isn't very satisfying overall. Ivy is a frustratingly selfish protagonist and her journey is more than hard to empathize with. Nonetheless, this issue builds upon it's current lore and forges ahead toward whatever resolution is coming for this psycho. Read Full Review

  The Batman Universe - Gareth Turner

  G. Willow Wilson is stretching some of these plotlines out so thin, they can barely support the weight. But the action is slick and the art is fun, in other words: it's another issue of Poison Ivy. Read Full Review
