I've always been a big fan of scoundrels. Han Solo from Star Wars. Cao Cao from Romance of the Three Kingdoms-- and Poison Ivy from DC comics.

I recently dove into the Poison Ivy backlog, with the goal of reading all of her appearances. That is still a work in progress, but I have read and reflected enough to share five things I've learned from this project.

And if you like the podcast, by all means, please check out the Medium piece I wrote about Ivy, which takes a deeper dive into her evolution as a character over the past 60 years.
