Bleeding Cool has long been fascinated by DC Comics' split-personality approach to the character of Poison Ivy, including at one point literally splitting her personality into two. So while the Harley Quinn Animated Series commits to keeping Harley and Pam together as a couple, and Ivy as a positive force, the Harley Quinn comic has Harley moving in with Kevin…

…and Poison Ivy… well, the new Poison Ivy series has Pamela Ivy is dying from a fungal infection but is intending to wipe out all of humanity, and a bunch of cattle as well, in the process.

And doesn't feel particularly bad about it. But you know, all work and no play makes Ivy a dull girl.

And so she takes time off from the slaughter to do a little gardening with a new friend.

You know, a new friend who is one of those humans she is going to murder.

Though maybe not just yet.

But hey, temporary guilt about causing genocide aside, this is a very beautiful book, drawn and coloured by Marcio Takara and Arif Prianto.

Faith in killing of the world… time to call the experts.

Hey, it's a six-issue series, we still have time. Maybe Poison Ivy can regrow all the people she's killed until no one is the wiser…
