Detective Comics #23.1

Poison Ivy takes center stage on Jason Fabok's cover, rendered with wild auburn hair and a black-and-green costume as thorned vines and gaping carnivorous blooms surround her on all sides — a lush, menacing garden entirely under her command. Part of DC's 2013 "Villains Month" event in the New 52, this issue hands the spotlight to one of Gotham's most compelling antagonists in a story aptly titled "The Green Kingdom." With Derek Fridolfs writing and Javier Pina on art, it's a confident showcase for a villain whose power over the natural world makes her genuinely formidable.
