Birds of Prey #12

Poison Ivy looms large over this New 52 entry, her green-eyed gaze and flowing red hair dominating the lush, vine-drenched cover by Artgerm as her botanical tendrils reach out to ensnare the team below. Black Canary crackles with sonic energy at the center, while Batgirl, Starling, and Katana struggle against an unseen force — the tagline "Puppets of Poison Ivy!" making it clear who's pulling the strings. Duane Swierczynski and Cliff Richards deliver "Heartbreak and Vine," a chapter that promises the Birds facing a villain whose power is every bit as beautiful as it is dangerous.
