Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death
edit... that Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death is Poison Ivy's first solo comic book series?Source: "... marks the first series to solely star villainous botanist Dr. Pamela Isley" (Comic Book Resources)- ALT1:

Had to take this. Article is new (moved to the mainspace here [2]) and long enough. It's neutral, sourced using inline citations and I cannot see any copyright violations. The hook is good and sourced in the Production section. QPQ exempt. - JuneGloom07 Talk 23:05, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but if you're not a Poison Ivy fan, the hook is not attention-grabbing. Perhaps you could add another factoid to this hook, or suggest another. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 20:58, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: How about ALT1? I think specifying the character's 50-year publishing history before getting her own series would make it more interesting to a general audience. Bennv3771 (talk) 23:51, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Bennv3771: I think if you identify her as Batman's nemesis, it would work for a wider audience:
- ALT2:
... that in 2016, fifty years after Batman villain Poison Ivy was introduced, she starred in her own comic book miniseries?Yoninah (talk) 00:19, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
- ALT2 sounds good to me. Thank you for coming up with it. Hope you don't mind but I changed the link in ALT2 to point to the correct Poison Ivy. Bennv3771 (talk) 00:46, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, thanks for that. I'm going to propose one other tweak:
- ALT2a: ... that in 2016, fifty years after Poison Ivy was introduced, the Batman villain starred in her own comic book miniseries?
Since I added a detail to the hook, another reviewer will have to sign off on ALT2/2a. Pinging original reviewer @JuneGloom07:. Yoninah (talk) 01:06, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
- More than happy to go with ALT2a. - JuneGloom07 Talk 16:15, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
