Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death #5

The penultimate issue of this 2016 miniseries brings "The Spawn of Ivy" front and center, and the cover by Clay Mann makes that theme impossible to miss — a pale, white-haired plant-hybrid figure emerges from a giant pink blossom alongside a green-skinned companion, while two more of Ivy's plant-born offspring appear in the background, all of them loomed over by a massive, snarling wooden creature with thorny, branch-like limbs. It's a striking composition that captures both the nurturing and dangerous sides of Ivy's botanical world in a single image. With Amy Chu's script and art from Clay Mann and Stephen Segovia, this chapter five entry in Cycle of Life and Death looks every bit as wild and organically dangerous as its title promises.
