Poison Ivy #40

Poison Ivy strides through a busy city street in a tan trench coat, dark sunglasses, and a gold chain belt — looking every bit the undercover operative, if not for the blood spattered across her coat and pants. Jessica Fong's cover art plays the contrast beautifully: Ivy moves with cool, unbothered confidence past a hot-dog vendor and a mother and child who have no idea what's walking among them. G. Willow Wilson, Davide Gianfelice, and Arif Prianto bring us issue #40 of this DC series, and that tagline — "Killing It!" — suggests the story inside is every bit as sharp as the image on the cover.
