Poison Ivy: The Virtuous Cycle (Vol.1)

Humanity had its chance. Now it’s time for Poison Ivy.

StoryGraph

Poison Ivy’s solo run in The Virtuous Cycle is just a great run at least for this first volume (I did not read the rest). We got some body horror, we have some prime villain/vigilante run up and amazing artwork and coloring. Poison Ivy’s always been a fave of mine so I was stoked to read this to begin with and may have been biased. Oh well. We did this for our Graphic Novel Club at my local comic book store. The discussion surrounding this was great. People are way more analytical and critical than me, and I ‘m pretty sure I’m a potato as far as brain function goes after I listen to the peeps in there. There was a consensus though among us that the change of Poison Ivy’s ‘end game’ might have made it weaker but this also allowed the series to continue so I mean depends on how you view that on if you’ll enjoy the change up of her feelings or not. Also. Poison Ivy road tripping? Chef’s kiss.

I’ll definitely be reading the other volumes of this. Also, just for the initial mindset of Poison Ivy and the art alone it’s 4.5/5 for me. (4.75 with Storygraph’s awesome rating system allowing .25 adjustments in ratings)
