Poison Ivy #18

I know that we always leave off on a cliffhanger, but ARE YOU KIDDING ME? That was so good, and so unnecessary. G. Willow Wilson will insist on taking us all for a ride and Poison Ivy #18 has the maddest ending of the series so far. I have no idea how they are supposed to top this one. Read Full Review

Poison Ivy #18 offers readers a gripping and unsettling exploration of pregnancy and bodily autonomy in the post-Roe era. Read Full Review

There are a lot of layers here and watching Ivy try to reconcile all of them is a great bit of character development. It's beautifully done and lands on a wild cliffhanger that leaves the reader wanting more. It's fantastic. Read Full Review

This is very much a bridge issue as the main threatplant zombies converging on Ivy's locationis established and she has her team. Read Full Review

I found the exploration of pregnancy and regeneration interesting, however, the overall story is beginning to feel a bit tiresome. I hope the recent introduction of a popular hero is just what the narrative needs to wrap things up and move the tale forward. Read Full Review

I love, love the cover. But, the actual story of this issue is pretty pointless. Poison Ivy is still making an antidote to atone for catastrophic blunders. This storyline could stretch years at this rate. Read Full Review

This run is pretty uneven, but #18 was strong. Good art, the internal monologues were coherent and not especially pretentious, and the story moved forward. This isn't the Poison Ivy solo book that we deserve, but it's pretty consistently entertaining and fresh by virtue of having a genuinely distinct feel from most cape books.
