  You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff

  The Shakespearian hollow crown quote clearly flags the Mayor of Gotham development as being a temporary thing. This is kind of bittersweet as it DOES mean the Pam is going to have a chance to explore other things in a long and winding series that shows no signs of slowing down towards the end of its fourth year. Still...it would be really cool to have Ivy as the mayor of Gotham City for a really, really long time and it’s just too bad that isn’t going to have a chance to happen. There’s so much potential in the premise that Wilson has been so clever at bringing to the page. Read Full Review

  The weight of the Gotham political landscape closes in on Mayor Isley in her latest chapter. Wilson dials up the emotional drain with fantastic writing. Infante & Prianto craft impressive panels to navigate through the drama. This political term is one fans will want to keep an eye on at the shops! Read Full Review

  A trip to the sewers, and Catwoman slinking back into Ivy’s life after a considerable absence, but Poison Ivy #43 perhaps will be most well known for ending the beloved “Harlivy” pairing, as Ivy chooses to prioritize her Mayoral duties over her relationship with Harley. Read Full Review

  I’ve been confused by this story so far, as it seems to be at war with itself at times. Read Full Review

  Poison Ivy taking over as mayor is a major change to the status quo and will likely work or not based mainly on Wilson’s development of the character in this role. That said, the entire creative team is delivering high quality work making Poison Ivy #43 a solid issue in the new run and status quo. Read Full Review

  Poison Ivy #43 is another confident, quietly compelling chapter in one of DC’s most consistently excellent ongoing runs. G. Willow Wilson continues to find new, interesting corners of this character to explore, and the Ivy as mayor arc is delivering in ways that feel genuinely earned. Sharp writing, beautiful art from Jaime Infante, and a Catwoman cameo that leaves you wanting more. This run shows no signs of slowing down. Read Full Review
