365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #269 (for Tuesday): Batman Arkham: Poison Ivy

I like Poison Ivy, I don't how I always wind up being a fan of underutilized characters and she is definitely one of them. I can't believe I have not bought this yet, Batman Arkham: Poison Ivy is a collection of various stories featuring Ivy.

This book is to celebrate Poison Ivy's 50th anniversary and like Lady Sif, she is yet another character who has not had their own ongoing series.



Book: Batman Arkham: Poison Ivy by various writers and artists

Description:

GOTHAM’S DEADLIEST BEAUTY

Poison Ivy was once Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley, a young woman with a unique fascination with botany and toxicology. But then she was seduced and later experimented on by her mentor, Professor Jason Woodrue, also known as the super-villain Floronic Man.

Now a constant thorn in Batman’s side, Poison Ivy uses the toxins in her bloodstream to make her touch fatal to whomever she chooses, giving her the ability to create pheromones that make men her slaves while she stops at nothing to ensure plant life will retake Earth.

BATMAN ARKHAM: POISON IVY collects some of the villain's greatest stories by some of the industry's greatest creators, including Robert Kanigher, Gerry Conway, Neil Gaiman, Guillem March, P. Craig Russell, Mark Buckingham and many more!
