Origin of Species (Poison Ivy, Volume 4)

The GLAAD Media Award-winning team of G. Willow Wilson and Marcio Takara tell a story decades in the making—the origin of Pamela Isley!

Long has her tale been told by others, but witness for the first time, in intimate detail, the one true secret origin of Poison Ivy as revealed by the viridescent villainess herself—from her formative days in higher learning with Dr. Jason Woodrue and the Gardener to her first encounter with Batman! 

The acclaimed team of writer G. Willow Wilson and artist Marcio Takara reunite to tell this heartbreaking and historic origin story as only they can.

As the story returns to the present day, the end times may be near for Pamela Isley. The rotten seeds she has sown across America have come home to roost, and her greatest enemy has torn himself from her flesh. With Ivy on death’s door, is there any hope for the rest of the world… or has the reign of the Floronic Man begun?
