Which is where the mysterious present from Lex Luthor comes in to play. Anyway, Ivy is having a hard time keeping her new body together with her weakened state and Harley isn’t sure how to help either. Now in Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, Ivy is suffering the consequences of dying and being rebirthed…err…re-growthed? She grew back from a flower. This mini-series takes places immediately after the events of Heroes in Crisis (which ended in May) but is also taking place during DC’s Year of the Villain event. Also, watching Harley throw a temper tantrum over not getting a mysterious present from Lex Luthor was pretty great. I feel like Jody Houser is on the right track though, especially when it comes to capturing her relationship with Poison Ivy. I know Harley has been the subject of a lot of controversy in recent years, I won’t go on my tangent about what the real Harley Quinn is to me, but I do want to say that I love Harley Quinn and it’s been quite a while since I felt like I actually saw a representation of her that I thought felt the same as Paul Dini’s. It is written by Jody Houser with art by Adriana Melo and colors by Hi-Fi. Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy #1 is published by DC Comics.
