This issue is almost entirely about Poison Ivy. It seems that there's someone running around Robinson Park killing people in her name . . known eco-terrorists. But . . it's even more specific than that. They're being killed with an unknown plant-based toxin, and . . it's been created around Ivy's specific DNA. The police believe that she's the culprit, but . . Gordon has his doubts. Each of the victims have a puncture mark around their carotid artery. That's how the poison is being injected. To him, this doesn't hold up with Ivy's usual MO. He shares information with her, because he thinks she'll want to find the killer as much as she does. However, when leaving the police station, she's knocked out by another police officer, Stuart Rawlings, who throws her in a hole for weeks . . to rot. While she's down there withering away, Selina is trying to put the pieces of this puzzle together. Long story short . . it ends up being someone who worked at Arkham and had access to Ivy's blood/sap. From there . . it's a pretty short list to figure out who it is. Luckily, about this same time is when they come up with Officer Rawlings name and they also find Ivy. Selina let's her take care of the pretender as she knows she'll want to. I thought this was an interesting story, by Guillem March and Marc Andreyko, showing us a bit of Ivy's character and where her mind is at nowadays. I don't think she's turning to the side of angels, but . . she does seem kind of detached from the world of men. Except for her attachment to Selina and Harley that is. Guillem also does the art. I enjoy this title. I like seeing a different side of Gotham. Plus . . nothing looks hotter than a bad-girl.
