DC Comics Upgrades Poison Ivy to Ongoing Series

To celebrate the rare feat of making it to double digit issues, DC Comics has upgraded Poison Ivy to an ongoing starting in June with Poison Ivy #13.

Hey folks, your pal Jude Terror here, taking a break from writing wrestling clickbait and AI-generated previews articles to fill in for Rich, who has been summoned before Parliament today to address accusations his TV license is "bang out of order." While Rich sorts that out, I'm here to tell you about the lastest press release from DC Comics, revealing that Poison Ivy has been upgraded from a 12-issue limited series to a full-blown ongoing. Yay!

From the press release:

Pamela Isley's comic book journey has grown beyond her original plan as today the publisher announced the hit six-issue DC mini-series Poison Ivy, which was expanded into a second six-issue arc in December 2022, will continue as an ongoing comic book series beginning in June 2023 with Poison Ivy #13!

Written by G. Willow Wilson, with art by Marcio Takara and covers by Jessica Fong, fan-favorite Poison Ivy's quest to undo the wrongs of man and return the Earth to the Green persists…at whatever the cost. The comic book series "shines best when we see Ivy being forced to confront humanity, both her own and that of others, and in the process forces the reader to truly see the world" (COMICBOOK).

Here I'd normally make a joke about ComicBook.com taking a break from reporting on the latest developments in fast food sandwiches to provide a pull quote for a comic book, but to be honest, there have been a lot of Mountain Dew articles around here lately, and you know what they say about people in glass houses throwing stones.

The new era of Poison Ivy kicks off in June with Poison Ivy #13.

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 main cover by Fong and variants by Kai Carpenter, Frank Cho and Mindy Lee.
