Okay, well, it seems that spoiler warnings are no longer needed for such. Here’s Mark Brooks’ exclusive foil cover for Megacon to Absolute Batman #17 featuring the first appearance of the Absolute Poison Ivy.
Oh, look, and she has been signed by Scott Snyder and Mark Brooks, so that’s as official as it gets. Previously, we saw Björn Barends’ exclusive variant cover for East Coast Comics, and noted that her body seems tattooed by chloryphyll, leaves seem to be growing out of her, and she appears to be generating plant fronds or strands to hold up the Batskull. However, from the Brooks version, she appears to have more feathers than leaves.
This is what we previously saw of her, in action, on a different cover. Or, at least, what she does to the Absolute Batman…
Scott Snyder previously said, “ABSOLUTE BATMAN 17 & 18, February and March, is a special 2-part story by me & the amazing @EricCanete that has Bruce face off against our version of Poison Ivy! But expect a couple surprises in 17 big enough DC is redacting the covers for 18…” Here’s that redacted cover…
That’s a lot more redacted mass…
