Need more Ivy comics
The plot of this graphic novel was pretty intriguing. I wanted to know what was going on, it had a lot of unpredictable mystery. The dialogue was well written, it wasn't corny or unnatural. The panels could be crowded and clustered. Note to the team, Poison Ivy can be a badass without obscenely large breasts and without being practically naked with her nipples out. The ending was meh, but overall it was decent.
'Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death' has its flaws, but damn did it make me feel warm and good after reading. I've read so many disappointing books recently that I've been in kind of a slump - not the best way to end the year, for sure - but maybe something fun was what I needed. And Poison Ivy's first solo comic miniseries is anything but poisonous. It's a light refreshment, or like a break to have a girls' night out, complete with a makeover and dancing. No alcohol required.I had never really...
I want more of Ivy + Harley immediately, merci and the sisters omg where they went
rumours are true pamela isley is the love of my life <3
(B+) 76% | GoodNotes: It starts alright, all rosy, tight, a budding concept built, but doomed, it zooms, no room to bloom: the final issues wilt.
Ivy is one of my faves, and we rarely get to see her doing anything these days, she has just somehow become a sidekick to a sidekick, so finally she gets her own mini series. I did really like this one, even though at times it felt rushed especially the ending, and sticking in loads of characters that really didn't need to be there, just let Ivy have her five minutes in the spotlight. The artwork is amazing, the story definitely has its moments it's basically like one of Ivy's cabbage patch babi...
Very cool story. Loved the overall idea, and the writing was great. Wasn't a great fan of the art, but that's not to say it wasn't good quality art; just not to my taste.
Catwoman (when she made her cameo): Long time no hear, girlfriend. What’s up? Cat got your tongue? (Oh nooooes, being in costume and having cool powers doesn’t actually exempt you from lameness?! 😛)Harley Quinn showed up too, and of course, there can be no Harley Quinn without some mention of her famous lover (‘…..wasting my life over some psychotic ex-boyfriend’).🍃Okay, jokes aside, this was actually a fun and quick read for me. I know a lot of people didn’t really love this miniseries due to i...
Cycle of Life and Death is so shitty it’s only fit for compost – no wonder Poison Ivy’s never had a solo title before! Because she has to for this book, Ivy’s suddenly gone straight and gotten a job as a plant researcher at the Gotham Botanical Gardens – but then her colleagues start dying! Oh noooo, could it be her or could it be some crap Scooby-Doo-esque villain? The answer will make you fill your pants with boredooooommmmm… This is a bad whodunit largely because there’s barely any time spent...
Very good! So Poison Ivy has her own series, well mini-series anyways! So the story is that Ivy works at a research lab, her boss is killed(who was the only one willing to give Ivy a chance, due to her being a supervillain), and she needs to find out who did it! The story was funny in some parts, and was overall very good! We also see 3 guest appearances, 2 of them you kinda expect, the last one though at the end, was completely unexpected, I did not see that one coming! I guess my only gripe, i...
Art: 10Story: 1A great book of wallpapers, I mean the art of this story is 10/10, rarely seen comics as good, but the story sucks, it is so bad I had to give it a 3 despite the breathtaking art.(view spoiler)[It is stated throughout this story itself that Ivy has no background records, and yet she begins the story as an employee at a goddam research institute.Halfway throughout the story she kills one of her colleagues after inviting him to her house (the man was a prick but there was absolutely...
It took 50 years for Poison Ivy to get her own solo comic...only for Swamp Thing to come out of nowhere to save the day. Down with the plantriarchy!
Poison Ivy has landed her dream job at Gotham Botanical Gardens, but when not one but three of her co-workers turn up dead, it's up to her to solve their murder before the police turn their attention her way and ruin everything she's built for herself.I'm honestly surprised Ivy hasn't had a solo series before, but I think this series does kind of show why - she doesn't really work on her own. Sure, her motivations are there, but it's all fairly one-note and repetitive. Ivy wants to do her work a...
The last 2 issues really tugged at my heart.
(originally reviewed at thelibraryladies.com )I will admit that my love for Poison Ivy was late blooming (HAHAHA) in all my years of Batman worship. I don’t know if it was because “Batman and Robin” (though Uma Thurman is a goddess and I now appreciate her characterization in spite of everything), or my disinterest in plants in general, but it took far too long for me to love Dr. Pamela Isley. It didn’t happen until I was looking for a cosplay outfit that wouldn’t require a wig, and I dove he...
Pretty average, but also fun. Harley Queen and Selina are both there and I really liked seeing the way they interacted, all the banter and drama that one would expect. I feel like we moved from one thing to the other too fast, there were too many sub-plots to explore and because of that none felt engaging enough. I relly enjoyed the concept of Ivy really wanting kids in order to not be alone, then not knowing how to deal with them, and I really liked their character designs. I wish the story all...
This was interesting. I feel like Ivy's interpreted differently in every single comic I've read with her in it. My favorite take being the New 52's birds of prey, surprisingly. This book did a great job maintaining Ivy's ferocity in every aspect of her life from protectiveness over her work, protectiveness over life and protectiveness over her sporelings. I liked Luisa and Darshan as characters. Harley and Selina popped up for a bit. The sporelings were interesting. I quite enjoyed the art and i...
I need to make a hurried review because I've been slack about all my adult responsibilities surrounding the holiday season, and that big fat roc has come home to roost today.(Which I shouldn't, a hurried review, that is, because I've known Amy Chu for a while and count her among my friends, and this book deserves good marks!)Writing-wise, there are some advanced themes presented smoothly and with wisdom - parenthood, sociopathy, 'misunderstood villain', to name a few. There are a few plot holes
Though the story was super basic, I’m still glad I picked this up. Loved seeing Ivy in her own series kicking some major ass. It’s was great to delve a little more into her motives for being who she is and her general demeanour towards others as well. I feel like she usually gets a bad wrap; seen as just a sexy villain or a crazy plant lady with no substance. As said before, story was a little basic but it was wrapped up generically and was fun to see some old faves (Harley, Selina, Alec) make s...
