    That really depends on the writer, and on DC allowing the other characters to shine. For all that I disliked the direction that Jody Houser had to take Harley and Ivy in the recent mini, she certainly managed to get the characters to work well together as peers without diluting their personalities.

    And that's great, but it seems to be the exception rather than the norm with modern Harley from what I've read.

    Although I feel like the dynamic with the trio now would in general be fairly different from how it was depicted Post-Crisis because all three are very different characters now.

    Ivy finally gets her own young adult graphic novel! I think Gothic is a good fit for her .

    Makes sense as she was partly inspired by Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story Rappaccini's Daughter, itself an early 19th century gothic tragedy.

    The color of her skin is dependent on the artists and the books she is in. Since the new 52, mainline Batman books make Ivy look like a more humane character so that she fits into the grounded world while in other books her skin color is whatever the artists want it to be. There is a story that plays with the idea that green skin Ivy is her enraged plant side while human skin Ivy is her peaceful human side.

    The "human skin tone" Ivy was killed in Heroes in Crisis and then was reborn as green skinned.

    Ivy looks very peppy and casual in this .
    Should be fun. I'm eager to see how Ram V writes Ivy.

    Finally!

    I was hoping they would explore her connection to the Green more and get her away from the Bat books for a while! I wouldn't mind her being exclusive on Swamp Thing for an entire year to help revitalize her character!

    There's going to be a Harley & Ivy story (a full issue?) in upcoming anthology series Batman: Urban Legends this March

    And speaking of history, the friendship/romance of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy will be tackled head-on in a story by upcoming Harley Quinn writer Stephanie Phillips and Future State: The Next Batman artist Laura Braga. Set before the launch of Phillips' new Harley Quinn ongoing with artist Riley Rossmo, this Batman: Urban Legends story will "help Harley sort out her complicated history with Poison Ivy – but first she'll have to find her!"

    I'm guessing this will explain Ivy's role (or possible lack there of) in Harley's new book.
