G. Willow Wilson\u2019s Poison Ivy run has been consistently great, and this one-shot is no exception. With artist Mike Perkins, Wilson takes Poison Ivy and Swamp Thing on a trail of death that leads into the heart of the woods. Something is wrong with the trees, and those connected to the Green can hear them screaming out in pain. The Parliament of Trees has come together within these feral trees, and while some are willing to wait out the winter, Ivy knows more will die if she doesn\u2019t find out who is at the center of the carnage. But with her being \u201chalf in, half out\u201d of the Green, will her ties to the human world help or hinder on their journey? Can she and Swamp Thing survive the anger of the trees, or will they be consumed by the darkness deep inside?<\/p>\n\n\n

But it kicks off with a brand-new story written by Jeremy Adams, with art by Howard Porter, which leads into the Penguin\u2019s next moves as DC goes All In!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
