SO GOOD, SO ICONIC!
Give me more Alice being a mall goth, more of ivys descent into hot lesbian madness… Jesus there better be a sequel in the works or I might start my own villain arc.

PAMELA MY BELOVED MAN-HATING LESBIAN! This was fucking sad oh my god! This girl needs so much fucking therapy? But this depiction of her backstory and past before she becomes Poison Ivy was really beautiful. And her falling in love with a girl, handling manipulation by her dad plus her mommy issues, and murdering boys? Icon tbh

dark mysterious

3.0

The at is okay and very readable.
The story is okay, a bit rushed and over explaining but the heart at the right place. 
I kind of wish it was more gothic horror, that is a cool choice for the character.
