Courtesy of DC Comics, AIPT can exclusively reveal an inside look at the excellent Poison Ivy Vol. 1: The Virtuous Cycle. Never before seen pages include concept art and design pages from the volume!
Dubbed here as “a successful, character-driven story,” the series follows Ivy moving across the country, starting with the state of Wyoming, leaving a trail of fungal infection in her wake. With series artist Marcio Takara, the book renders death in a gruesome fashion. It’s deeply moving, human, and well worth a read.
Check out the preview below.
Humanity had its chance. Now it’s time for Poison Ivy. The fan-favorite Batman Super-Villain steps into the solo spotlight, in a thrilling and tragic adventure written by Ms. Marvel co-creator G. Willow Wilson!
Pamela Isley has been a lot of things in her life. A living god, a Super-Villain, an activist, a scientist, and dead. In a new body that she didn’t ask for and with a renewed sense of purpose, Ivy leaves Gotham and sets out to complete her greatest work—a gift to the world that will heal the damage dealt to it…by ending humanity. On her journey to doom humankind, a heartbroken and betrayed Poison Ivy encounters obstacles (plant assassins!) and dodges the law along the way, in a body horror-infused character-defining epic from the visionary creative team of writer G. Willow Wilson and artist Marcio Takara.
This volume collects Poison Ivy #1-6. Poison Ivy is the winner of the 2023 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Comic Book.
