4.0

This was a really strong start to a series for a character who I think the march of world events has turned from an out-and-out villain into a more complex anti-heroine. G Willow Wilson brings a lot of nuance and out-and-out queer energy to Ivy here, and while I think the final confrontation is just... fine... the rest of the book is genuinely excellent. Phenomenal art team here as well, leaning into some beautifully grotesque body horror -- think Alex Gardland's take on ANNIHILATION -- while maintaining genuinely strong physicality for our characters.
