Poison Ivy Vol. 2: Unethical Consumption by Atagun Ilhan, G. Willow Wilson
3.0

After the first volume blew me away I was excited to read volume 2 but now that I did, I'm let down.

It's not to say this is bad. I still like the way Ivy is written. Her relationship with Harley is mega cute. I like how they don't make her a good person, she cheats on Harley, she's still willing to kill people, she still has a nasty temper. I love that about her.

But these couple of arcs are basically are going somewhere and shutting things down because they're abusing plants/nature. It's okay...but the stuff with Harley remains the highlight for sure. Less dark, more comedy this time around, makes it enjoyable but not a slam dunk like volume 1.
