Titania is She Hulk’s archrival, they’ve butted heads many times.
But I think the Rainbow Rowell version is my favorite. Got the series off to a great start 👏
What’s your favorite story with these two? 👀

This was a solid episode, and wow did it stick the landing 🙌
“For what it’s worth I believed her, when she told me for the first time in her life that was she was happy”
Playing Deity, Huge Map, Marathon. And wow, did they pack the Civs in this corner of the map!
I've got Inca, Indonesia and Australia right in my back yard.
Came out of the ancient era with a dark age, but I also got a religion, which is a solid accomplishment on deity. This has been a fun game so far!
Harley and Ivy Life and Crimes?
New Batman Adventures?
Or All Star Batman?
Which would you read first? 👀
Happy Poison Ivy Day to those who celebrate!

I discuss on the Choice Media Podcast with minimal spoilers.
Thoughts on this collection?
Any that should have made the list?
The Poison Control arc was peak Rogues Gallery Ivy. This was from the brief era where Artemis was Wonder Woman and Diana was committing high crimes against fashion with that biker outfit.
They don’t meet up very often but it’s always memorable 👏
The artwork by Mike Deodato Jr is pretty fantastic. Story by William-Messner-Loebs.
Wonder Woman V2 #94 (1995)n

I wonder if there’s people who think that song was Ivy’s theme music 😅
Just finished the Everybody Loves Ivy arc in Batman 41-43 🌹
In this story Ivy uses her special relationship with the Earth to generate spores that boost her mind control powers worldwide. The only exceptions are Batman (who created an antidote) and Catwoman.
This was from the New 52 era, and as such Ivy is a more complicated antagonist. In this story she’s taking over the world to save humanity from itself.
I often say that Ivy is kinda a comic book Aphrodite. This story took that concept and ran with it. There’s also some fun moments with what Ivy’s world would be like (Babbling Stream in the Forest is the most popular song of the week 😆)
SPOILERS: I’ve heard people say this is their favorite version of Ivy and I get it. She’s very much the mastermind and on top of her game in this one.
I also loved that she’s not a traditional villain. Batman thwarts her attempt at controlling Bruce and Selina, but she’s not out to get them for much of the story. There’s much more talking than fighting in this story by Tom King.
Ivy often speaks the language of love; it’s one of the coolest aspects of her character and she does it for a bit in the first book 🔥
I like how it gets the Ivy/Catwoman rivalry involved a bit. The fact Bats and Catwoman are getting married and Ivy is the only person in the world who could really attend was a nice touch.
Theres a great scene that really summarizes the special relationship between Batman and Ivy.
Basically Batman confronts her, with how what she’s doing is pretty monstrous, and she gets angry and has Superman bash Bats. And she immediately regrets it and brings him back to life with plants.
I really like the stories where she has a special relationship with Bats and Catwoman, in addition to Harley.
Harley is central to the resolution of this story, in a way she often is when Ivy Has Gone Too Far 😅
The ending really stuck the landing; it was resolved through love instead of violence 💖
I think it’s true btw. Everyone does love Ivy ❤️
Recently picked up a collection that included the Arkham/ Blackgate baseball game.
Properly titled Madmen Across the Water, it was written by Alan Grant and pencilled by Tim Sale.
I had this issue. It has Ivy at the plate on the cover and Ivy on the cover = sold for me.
The art in this comic is lovely. One of the more striking Ivy portraits when it was made.
Pretty sure that was in the post-Crisis reboot in Secret Origins 🤔
Harley and Ivy meet Betty and Veronica is about what I’ve expected this far, but this was a nice touch 👏
For me that’s basically Eleanor, the Spartans, Bull Moose Teddy and Japan.
Love the quote but not sure on the source of it.
This is awesome and a funny contrast to how Ivy was portrayed in the Long Halloween.
In the story she’s very much a wicked witch— a persona she occasionally adopts; Knightfall and Contagion come to mind. 🧙♀️
The original femme fatale of western lit, Circe, is also sometimes portrayed as a witch BTW.
I sometimes talk about love goddess Ivy. One place you definitely see still her? The covers 😅
I love Sun Shang Xiang in the dynasty warriors series and enjoying her in RTK too.
One of the coolest features of Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake is that there’s a map where Sun Shang Xiang is a starting ruler 🎉
(If I just want to kick some ass, I love playing as Sun Jian, preferably with lifespans off 😅)
Best game in the series amirite?
A+ for the DC social team 🫡
