DC’s ‘Poison Ivy’ Limited Comic Book Series Thrives; Grows into Ongoing Series in June 2023
DC Comics’ hit limited series ‘Poison Ivy’ is set to become an ongoing series starting this June, DC has announced. ‘Poison Ivy’ which is written by G. Willow Wilson with artwork by Marcio Takara was originally solicited as a six-issue limited series and launched during DC’s Pride Month in June 2022. Due to the series’ massive success DC Comics greenlit a second six-issue arc back in December 2022 resulting in a twelve-issue limited series. Since this announcement a couple of months ago, Poison Ivy’s success has only grown and had led to DC Comics’ ongoing series announcement from today.
In addition, DC Comics has revealed the main covers and variants covers for Poison Ivy #12 and Poison Ivy #13. A collected trade of the first six issues of the series will also hit shelves on May 16, 2023; you can check out the stunning cover for this collected edition hardcover by Jessica Fong can be seen below.
Poison Ivy Vol. 1: The Virtuous Cycle, collecting Poison Ivy #1-6 in a gorgeous hardcover book, arrives on May 16, 2023, wherever books are sold. Poison Ivy’s second story arc kicked off with two issues of interior art by Atagun Ilhan, a graduate of DC’s Milestone Initiative. Series regular artist Marcio Takara then returned to interior art in February’s Poison Ivy #9, available now wherever comics are sold.
When Poison Ivy #13 publishes in June 2023, the hit DC title becomes an ongoing comic book series and brings Pamela Isley back to Gotham City! Poison Ivy #13 will have a DC Pride variant cover by Claire Roe along with a main cover by Jessica Fong and variants by Kai Carpenter, Frank Cho, and Mindy Lee.
Ivy and Janet’s celebrity wellness excursion comes to a horrifically tantalizing close as Pamela Isley faces the unintended fruits of her murderous road trip. Will she make it back home to Harley in one piece or is Ivy going to be added to GLØP’s body count?
