Poison Ivy Takes Over Gotham in Batman: Bad Seeds Sunset

Batman: Bad Seeds Sunset Issue 1 marks the start of a massive event that changes everything for the dark knight and his allies. Written by Matt Fraction and G. Willow Wilson, the story focuses on Poison Ivy as she seals off Gotham City with thick plants. No one can get in or out, turning the entire city into a dangerous garden where survival is the only goal.

The comic blends different character arcs together into one high stakes plot. Ivy is more ruthless than she has been in a long time, and her conflict with Vandal Savage drives much of the tension. While the Bat Family does their best to respond to the crisis, Batman finds himself dealing with a situation that stretches from the sewers to the tallest skyscrapers.

Fans will appreciate the art, which captures the sheer scale of the botanical invasion perfectly. The transition from Gotham's usual dark colors to the overwhelming green of Ivy's growth is striking. With an intense atmosphere and a sense of constant dread, this opening chapter sets the stage for a long and difficult battle for the city.

This event is designed to pull in every character connected to Gotham. If you enjoy stories that force heroes and villains into uneasy alliances to stop a greater threat, this is a must read. The first issue is now available at comic shops everywhere.
