Can anyone recommend any good Poison Ivy stories?

I can't remember any solo Poison Ivy stories that were anything special . All that comes to mind is an issue of Paul Dini's Detective run but besides that mostly guest star stuff.

That variant's pretty cool but it's a bit too much. I'd kind of like to see Joker sitting toddler style (knees up) or the skinned cowl but not both.

I'm rather disappointed that James Jr. is being used again so quickly, even if it is in a book that I don't read.

DC COMICS & 2000 AD ANNOUNCE "THE BATMAN JUDGE DREDD COLLECTION" HC

Two of the biggest characters in comic books duke it out in their own iconic cities - more than 20 years since it was first published, the epic Batman vs. Judge Dredd stories are still the most brutal crossovers in comics!

2000 AD is very proud to be working with DC Comics to co-publish the highly anticipated THE BATMAN JUDGE DREDD COLLECTION, which brings together the four team-ups between the Lawman of the Future and the Dark Knight for the first time in a brand new hardback edition, with a fantastic roster of superstar talent, including Simon Bisley and Glenn Fabry.

Originally released between 1991 and 1998, these epic crossovers - Judgment on Gotham, Vendetta in Gotham, The Ultimate Riddle, and Die Laughing - brought the dynamic duo together to fight their ultimate foes. From alien super-fiend Judge Death escaping to Gotham to the Joker teaming up with the Dark Judges to cause mass slaughter in Mega-City One, THE BATMAN JUDGE DREDD COLLECTION brilliantly captures the lunacy and non-stop action of these two all-too-similar worlds from either side of the Atlantic.

Judge Dredd co-creator John Wagner leads a pack of top names, including Alan Grant (Batman, Lobo), Simon Bisley (Hellblazer), Glenn Fabry (Preacher, Hellblazer), Val Semeiks (The Demon, Lobo), and Cam Kennedy (Batman, The Light and Darkness War) - all contained in a cover from Hellboy creator Mike Mignola.

Published by 2000 AD in the UK and Ireland, and by DC in North America, this ultimate new edition also includes the hard-to-find meeting between Dredd and psychotic biker Lobo, and deserves a place in the collection of any self-respecting Dredd or Batman fan.

Not a fan of Batman #14 are ya?


I thought it was okay. Not a fan of how Snyder has been handling Bruce and Dick together. Or his Gordon. But the art continued to be creepy and while the story doesn't feel original/fresh yet, something has to warrant this being such a big deal so I'm holding out for hope.

That Jock backup was boring though. Waste of talent and time. Write a damn novel Snyder! lol

Read Batman #14.

Wasn't bad, better than the last issue, but still isn't exciting me much. Maybe it's because I just don't really care for Joker.
