Oh yikes! The Green sounds like Jennifer Lawrence's character from mother! It will be interesting to see a confrontation between Ivy and a personification of The Green.

Well, Ivy is the warlike personification of the Green . or more accurately, green-skinned Ivy is the "evil" Ivy wanting to kill humans to save the plants, being influenced by the Green, while white-skinned Ivy is the "heroic" one, who wants to protect nature but also find a way to not wipe out mankind. At least, it's how it's depicted in Damage.

This art is gorgeous!

This is very cute. I don't collect statues normally but I may get Ivy and Harley.

Ah, I see that the people at Aspen haven't finished extracting the marrow out of Michael Turner's long-decomposed corpse yet! What next? Selling the doodles he left on Dairy Queen napkins as "new, original, never-seen-before artwork"?

Lol, shades of DCAU's "Flower Girl" twist with green skinned Ivy being a more evil version while regular skinned Ivy being more redeemable. So how did they depict the change from the green skin to white in Damage?

[Korath]

Basically, as Ivy was breaking the Green's influence (or Grodd's, it wasn't really clear) her skin turned white, and green when the Green/Grodd was ascendant.

Okay, thanks Maybe I should check it out but it seems too much of a rethread of other stories like Francis Manapul's Trinity opener, Everyone Loves Ivy and the aforementioned Flower Girl tale from the DCAU based comics.

I'm a little nervous for Ivy going forward as the synopsis for Heroes in Crisis hints that everyone in Sanctuary is murdered when the story starts. I hope I'm wrong though as I think it would be pointless for King to have such a character driven arc for Ivy in Everyone Loves Ivy, only to kill her off a few months later.

I agree it would be a massive disservice to the character to kill her off given Ivy’s recent development. However she is seen on the cover unlike the other robed anonymous heroes so I’m taking that as a positive.

Actually I'm kind of worried about the possibility that she'll be the killer.

Actually I'm kind of worried about the possibility that she'll be the killer.

Maybe it will be an M. Night Shyamalan-esque twist where Ivy emits plant pheromones that drive people to kill themselves.

On a serious note, I don't think she's the killer as it says Harley is one of the prime suspects for the murders, so it's unlikely Ivy will in any way frame or implicate Harley for her own crimes. Unless Ivy somehow commits the murders by accident?

Synopsis for DC Universe's Harley Quinn animated show:

Harley Quinn follows Harley’s adventures after she breaks up with the Joker and strikes out on her own in this new adult animated comedy. With the help of Poison Ivy and a ragtag crew of DC castoffs, Harley tries to earn a seat at the biggest table in villainy: the Legion of the Doom.

I wonder if Ivy already has her seat at the Legion table.
