The Rundown: Poison Ivy and Janet must work together to escape the clutches of Insomnia.
The story begins with a supposedly perfect meal between Ivy and Harley. Soon the dream turns into a nightmare as the couple argue over a difference of opinion. The conflict turns deadly as Ivy realizes she is entrapped by an unknown enemy. Elsewhere, Janet faces her own challenges. Once she finds her friend, the two confront Ivy’s nightmares.
The Story: As always, Wilson gives the audience an introspective look into Poison Ivy’s thoughts. I like the idea that Ivy uses this horrific attack as an emotional growth opportunity. As she deals with Insomnia’s nightmare, she learns something important about herself and her current actions.
The Art: This chapter uses an eerie drawing style that uses detailed illustrations, including distorted character features, to present a fantastical world with strong elements of realism.
