The Lab Leak Theory & Janet Replacing Harley? Poison Ivy #10 Spoilers

In last month’s Poison Ivy #9 from DC Comics, Ivy and Harley Quinn reunited, to the vague annoyance of Ivy’s roommate “Janet From HR” who Ivy rescued from the chemical plant way back when.

I say “rescued” but it was the chemical plant that Ivy destroyed, killing everyone else in it. Janet only survived because she looked a bit like Harley Quinn. It all happened back in the Gotham City Villains Anniversary Special #1 that started this iteration of Poison Ivy, written by G Willow Wilson, off.

Killing off everyone on the planet, who don’t look like Harley Quinn, at least. And aren’t called Janet. Thankfully, Ivy has mellowed a little since.

And in tomorrow’s Poison Ivy #10, as the series heads into ongoing series, and Harley Quinn leaves Poison Ivy’s bed and heads back to Gotham, someone else pops in.

Not only is Poison Ivy now sleeping with Janet From HR – which one might have thought could have been an HR issue in and of itself – but she probably outs herself as a supporter of the Lab Leak theory. Poison Ivy, the FBI and John Stewart.

Poison Ivy #10 by G. Willow Wilson and Marcio Takara is published by DC Comics tomorrow.

All this because poor Janet from HR wanted to have some R&R before the car ride back east! Aw jeez!
