Recently re-read the entire POISON IVY run, by writer (and pal!) @gwillow.me + artists @marciotakara.bsky.social and co., and it's just wonderful. Character-driven, beautifully-rendered, and loaded with surprises and fun lore. It's one of those books I love going back to. - ThreadSky

Agreed, it's so well crafted and made me fall in love with all the characters.

I’m just getting into this series myself! I’ve only read the first trade, but the politics in the book are my favorite parts.

zomg thank you so much! We are all very proud of this book.

shanembailey.com•28 days ago

You very much should be.

alexsegura.bsky.social•28 days ago

lmfao of course!!

It's my number one read each week it comes out. I especially love Janet from HR. I borrowed a punchline from @damnyouwillis.bsky.social 's brilliant Dumbing of Age webcomic to make a point about Janet.

I actually just started reading this too, but I accidentally started with vol 3 but I don’t think my local store had the older ones

It's available digitally at the library, and probably physically too.

playerpresky.bsky.social•28 days ago

True, although I try to support my LGS/LCSs when I can

shanembailey.com•28 days ago

Oh, for sure. I try to read at the library and then buy what I really enjoyed and want to keep.

No Big 2 ongoing series in recent years has been as consistently a delight to me as this Ivy run. 💚

And, there’s some good shit on shelves right now! But Willow, Takara, Prianto, Otsmane-Elhaou, etc., are just doing something so special, imo.

There are no individual story titles or story arcs, just chapter numbers. That's because the entire run has been one big seamless story.

alexsegura.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yes.

G. Willow Wilson is always fantastic.

kevidently.bsky.social•28 days ago

Is it available in a trade yet? I had no idea and now I need to read it immediately.

shanembailey.com•28 days ago

The first three volumes are on Hoopla if your library has that.

kevidently.bsky.social•28 days ago

Thank you!!

alexsegura.bsky.social•28 days ago

These iconic panels are just from the first few pages. The whole run is this good.

I’m pretty sure Poison Ivy and Swamp Thing should be teaming up to fight 🍊🐖 and his plans to destroy 100 years of environmental protection. I’d be telling Len Wein that if he was hear to listen, but he is not.

hey thanks, Alex! 🙂

alexsegura.bsky.social•26 days ago
