Throughout all of September, DC is launching Villains Month. Each comic released this month will feature one of the most famous villains in the DC universe. We'll see what happens when the villains have free reign after the heroes have fallen after the events of the Trinity War.
I'll be starting off my reviews with Poison Ivy, since she's one of my favorite DC villains. This issue is basically a full back story of Pamela Isley. Growing up, her father abused and eventually killed her mother. When she went to college, she started developing pheromone pills and testing them on students. When she got caught, she used her pheromones on the dean who was going to expel her and press charges, but instead she was allowed to graduate with high honors.
Her career as a villain truly began after being fired from an internship by Bruce Wayne, who thought her ideas on controlling consumer choices through chemicals, were unethical. As she's packing up her belongings, she gets doused by the chemical compounds she had been developing and becomes Poison Ivy. She uses her powers to murder her father while he is in prison. After that, with Gotham's heroes gone, petty criminals have set ablaze the Gotham Botanical Gardens. For revenge, Poison Ivy decides to turn all of Gotham into a jungle as well as to take control of the city away from Batman.
I still have Joker 23.1 to read, as well as Superman's bad guys. I especially can't wait for the Harley Quinn and Bane issues to come out.
