hi! im new to dc but i love poison ivy, can you recommend me some comics about her? (sorry for my bad english!)
Sure thing, I’ll give you a couple of my favorite Ivy stories. Some of them are villain Ivy, some are more heroic, and some are in-between
Canon One Shots: 
Secret Origins (1986) 36: Pavane Ivy’s post-Crisis origin story, written by the one and only Neil Gaiman. 
Batman: Poison Ivy (1997): Ivy has left Gotham for an Island paradise, only for it to be destroyed by weapons manufacturers testing a new weapon. 
Batgirl (2011): Annual #2: Ivy works with Batgirl to go after a mysterious pharmaceutical corporation
Canon Arcs
Greg Rucka’s Ivy Trilogy: My personal favorite Ivy stories. Takes place during and after No Man’s Land, but the only relevant information you need to know is Gotham has been abandoned by the Government and Ivy has claimed the park during it. Part 1: Shadow of the Bat 88, Batman 568, Detective Comics 735. Part 2: Detective Comics 750-751. Part 3: Gotham Central 32
Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death: Her only solo series
Trinity (2016): 1-6: Less of an Ivy story and more a story featuring Ivy, but I enjoyed it so I’m putting it down
Other Stories:
Injustice Year Zero 8: This is the only issue I’ve read of Injustice, but it features both Ivy intimidating Joker AND a Harley/Ivy wedding, so if either of those things interest you, highly recommend
Love is a Battlefield (2021): Features Harley and Ivy reminiscing on their lives together
DC Pride 1 (2021): A cute little Harley/Ivy story
Batgirl Adventures: Ivy is in trouble, and Harley works with Batgirl to help her
Poison Ivy: Thorns: A YA Graphic Novel retelling of her origin. I enjoyed it immensely
She also plays a role in almost every Harley Quinn series. My header is from the Harley Quinn Road Trip Special, which is a fun story. Also, her stories in The Batman Adventures are good. There are others, so I might add to this as I remember specific issues, but that’s a solid starting point of my Ivy recs.
