A decent collection of stories showing the origins of Poison Ivy. If I'm being honest a good amount of these storylines were duds for me in terms of plot or conflict. It soon became clear the majority of the writers made Ivy's goals mainly seducing Batman. Did it still lead to a fun time? Yes and no; some moments were so ridiculous that they were funny while others I just felt bored. I don't ask for a lot of depth from old comics but still a smidge more would be nice. I did enjoy the more recent issues within the volume as there was a shift in Ivy's stories to be less about her obsession with Batman and more to do with herself and her violent plant-y ways.
