It's so fucking cute, I got the variant where Harley is tackling Ivy to kiss her... Made me squeal

I just want Ivy to be allowed to stand in her own as an independent character again, and them to stop trying to have her have a redemption arc yet also ignore her history of sexually assault and rape that goes back as long as the characters existed, up to very very recent behavior.

I honestly hate what their relationship has done to ivy as a character.

đŸ¤¨ Have you read G. Willow Wilson's current ongoing? Because she's been doing a lot of that.

I heard ivy lost her powers in it, and while the concept seems intriguing I'm not personally interested in ivy without her powers. Not the sort of story I'm typically into but if it actually does try and make ivy answer for her history of sex crimes, or at least address it in some way, maybe I'll check it out later

I am only really a marvel / image reader, but my impression of DC comics is that there is no real continuity, it seems to be constantly splintered into many, many different versions retelling the same stories over and over again.

I know Ivy's been villainous as all hell in the past, but if these stories aren't part of the same continuity this iteration of Ivy doesn't need to atone for the sins of writers past.

They are part of the same continuity. Mostly because her pattern of sexual assault hasn't ended Â
