Summary:
The last few months and years have forced Poison Ivy to take a good, hard look at herself. She needs to find a balance between protecting the planet and the people she loves. She’s coming to terms with what that may mean for her future.
However, there are many other complications still on the horizon, including a cult that believes Ivy is the Green Knight, something they’ve all been waiting for.
Review:
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.
This volume adds new tension on the human front, thanks to a cult that mistakenly believes that Poison Ivy would ever want to lead them (Ivy and people don’t mix). This spirals into a bigger problem–Batman. I seriously love how Poison Ivy portrays Batman; it adds perspective outside of his story.
What makes this volume interesting is that it basically forces Poison Ivy to fight against her previous methods. It’s a sign of growth. It’s good to be reminded of how far we’ve come, right? The other part that makes this tale even more interesting (for me) is the addition of the Grey. You don’t get to see that too often.
Finally, can we all agree that Janet from HR is both amazing and hilarious? She came out of left field and is so different from every other character, and that makes for a refreshing change.
