Review
We’re back in the swampy wilds with Ivy and her uneasy allies, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. In this latest issue, tension runs thick through the marsh air—time’s running out for Ivy, Janet, and Peter, and the clock is ticking fast for both the planet and their own survival. What follows is a packed, high-stakes rollercoaster of drama, chaos, and emotional gut-punches.
We open mid-battle with Ivy in full force—one moment she’s flooring a goon, the next she’s yanking a helicopter out of the sky. It’s action on overdrive, but the emotional engine is Janet and Peter, who take the reins to move the plot forward. This isn’t just a slugfest; it’s a story with serious character work.
Janet and Peter get some overdue spotlight, and it pays off. Janet’s guilt over Ivy’s current situation is palpable, while Peter is laser-focused on the Green Knight—remember them? The ego cult from a few issues back. They’re headed in opposite directions, figuratively and literally, splitting up to chase different hopes. Janet, somehow still standing despite coughing up blood, seeks out Croc in his Gotham sewer lair, and their odd-couple chemistry makes for a surprisingly sweet interlude.
But even Ivy has her limits. Amid the chaos, she reflects on what the body does when trauma hits, and it’s a subtle but moving nod to mental health. Eco-themes are always part of Ivy’s DNA, but this added emotional layer gives her rare depth. She’s not just a force of nature—she’s human, too. The writing handles this with care and nuance, refusing to flatten her into a one-note villain.
And let’s talk about the art—because wow. The standout sequence is Janet and Peter walking through a darkened, deadly part of the forest. It’s beautifully rendered, rich in symbolism, and flat-out breathtaking. The visuals do as much storytelling as the script, and it’s genuinely impressive.
Poison Ivy #34 doesn’t just move the story forward—it digs its roots in deep and refuses to let go. With fierce action, emotional honesty, and stunning visuals, this issue proves once again that Ivy’s tale is far more than eco-terrorism and green vengeance. It’s about survival, redemption, and the messiness in between. As we inch closer to whatever end—or new beginning—awaits her, one thing’s clear: Ivy’s journey is one of the most compelling in comics right now. Don’t miss it.
Verdict
A fast-paced, emotionally rich issue with knockout visuals and real character weight. Ivy’s thorns cut deeper than ever. As we inch closer to whatever end—or new beginning—awaits her, one thing’s clear: Ivy’s journey is one of the most compelling in comics right now. Don’t miss it. Check out the latest issue of Poison Ivy.
