Joker's Asylum - Poison Ivy

One-sentence summary: This quality series of one-shots continues with another pretty good installment.

I normally don't like these sorts of series -- I'm a very story-addicted man -- but this has been good. I thought it'd be just a sort of intro/origins type series, but, while it does deal somewhat with origins, each story is much more than that. It helps that it's being done by good writers, so the stories are actually pretty good.

The Penguin issue has been my favorite so far, with this last one as my least favorite, but it's still been cool. The art's steady, the writings pretty nice, and they're each pretty good one-shots, for the lover of the character or the new reader, which is DC's intention I imagine.
