61st read of 2026:

Poison Ivy, Vol. 3: Mourning Sickness (Poison Ivy (2022) #13-18) by G. Willow Wilson, Marcio Takara, Arif Prianto, Guillem March, Kelley Jones, A.L. Kaplan, José Villarrubia, Luana Vecchio, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou

Full of body horror and transformation, as zombies are coming to Gotham City to find Ivy.

Killer Croc is deftly deployed by Wilson as the straight man. I loved the scene where he talked about being afraid of needles. Even if regular needles cannot puncture his crocodile hide.

This ends on a cliffhanger. The combination of the cliffhanger and Batman’s lecture to Ivy gives this book a little bit of a hopeless tone. Like, there is nothing you can do to make the world better. (Even with the conceit that this is a villain’s book.)

4/5 stars

Here's a version with colors I thought about more!

A medium sized Box Elder tree trunk with a trifecta of vines growing on it. Virginia Creeper, Poison Ivy and wild Grapevine are keeping it company.

#Skin #Rash . . .

Despite being a very active #hiker & #backpacker in the past, I've never been affected by #PoisonOak or #PoisonIvy, despite NOT being entirely clear what they looked like in the field, because I simply avoided touching any plant with 3 leaves on it.

If like me, you really didn't know the difference, this article should help you avoid any skin rashes caused by them in the future:
