Comic & Manga Reviews
Poison Ivy Vol 5 takes a unique turn in Poison Ivy’s story, and once again has found new ways to surprise the readers. That’s one thing I’m quickly coming to love about this series: you never know what’s going to happen next.
I hate how far behind I am in reading the Krakoan era, but hey! At least I’m finally getting through it, and I’m likewise enjoying many of the twists and turns that have taken place thus far. I know it won’t last, but nothing good ever does in the comic book world.
I knew that at some point, Poison Ivy was going to do a deep dive into Ivy’s backstory. They’ve basically been teasing this for the last three volumes, and that time has finally arrived. It is so much more than I expected, but it perfectly fits the character.
Full disclosure: This isn’t my first time reading Black Widow Vol. 1. However, I loved the story and realized I never reviewed it, so here I am! I was happy to give this a second readthrough, and will hopefully do it for the rest of the series as well.

Yes! Poison Ivy is back in Gotham, and back with Harley! You love to see it. I know that Poison Ivy will probably continue to leave Gotham here and there, but it’s good to see her coming back home, even for a bit. I’m also ticked that Killer Croc has been thrown into the mix, as he balances this unique group quite well.
Wow. Okay. I was not expecting such a twist in Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider. One moment, we’re in New York of Earth-616, dealing with a new set of antagonists (complete with a potential romantic interest), the next we’re off in space, dealing with Cosmic Cubes and Loki.
I binge-read a ton of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, and yet I still have so much more to go. I’m not complaining about that! Though it is a bit intimidating. Side note: I’ve swapped to reading Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint through Webtoons, so I’m doing my best to keep the chapters in line with the volumes.
Poison Ivy may not be on a quest to destroy all of humanity (for the moment), but that doesn’t mean she’s found her place in the world. She knows there’s more she needs to be doing, but finding the balance is the trick.
Finally getting caught up on Jed MacKay’s run on The Avengers, starting with The Avengers Vol. 1 (duh). I love that Captain Marvel is back in charge. Though truthfully, I just love it when they swap leaders regardless. Change is good, right?
