WARNING: Potential Spoilers for DC’s How to Lose a Guy Gardner in 10 Days #1!As Valentine’s Day approaches, rather than love prevailing, it appears that infidelity takes center stage, with DC hinting at a surprising romance between Wonder Woman and Poison Ivy (RIP Harlivy). This revelation leaves numerous questions lingering, the most pressing being, where the heck is Harley Quinn while Ivy is trying to rizz up Wonder Woman?
How to Lose a Guy Gardner in 10 Days #1, DC’s Valentine’s special for this year comprises eight 10-page rom-com stories starring beloved heroes and villains from the DC universe. The Wonder Woman-centric tale, Say Yes to the Mess by Brendan Hay and Maria Laura Sanapo, unveils a startling development as Poison Ivy boldly asks Wonder Woman, “Will you be my Valentine?”
This unexpected turn hints at a potential groundbreaking romance. Despite DC’s holiday specials usually being one-shots, fans demand a follow-up with Harley Quinn’s reaction and explanation to this unexpected twist in the storyline.
Poison Ivy Asks Wonder Woman to Be Her Valentine (Seriously)
While this revelation marks a groundbreaking moment and potentially shakes the foundation of the Harlivy relationship, there remains a glaring absence of context and explanation regarding Ivy’s sudden declaration of interest. What fans gather from the story is that Ivy resorted to causing chaos with her plants in a bid to catch Wonder Woman’s attention and ask her to be her Valentine. However, beyond Wonder Woman’s gentle rejection of Ivy’s proposal, there is no further elaboration or follow-up provided. This leaves fans in suspense, pondering the fate of Harlivy and craving more insight into this unexpected turn of events.
While this story doesn’t explicitly address the relationship status between Harley and Ivy, fans can deduce that there might be trouble brewing between the two Gotham Sirens. As DC’s most renowned queer couple, it came as a surprise that the Valentine’s special not only omitted a story about them but also showcased Ivy making advances toward another woman. Even if Wonder Woman doesn’t reciprocate Ivy’s affections, lingering questions remain: Where did Ivy’s interest in Diana stem from? What transpired between Harley and Ivy to prompt this development? And perhaps most intriguingly, will Poison Ivy persist in her pursuit of Diana?

In a new retelling of Poison Ivy’s origin story, her ex-girlfriend the Gardener is making a return to play a major role in Pam’s turn to villainy.
How Would Harley Quinn React to This Valentine’s Day Betrayal?
DC’s holiday specials typically consist of one-shots and seldom lead to follow-up stories. However, given the bombshell revelation in Say Yes to the Mess and the evident turmoil brewing in the Harley and Poison Ivy relationship, DC should consider deviating from this norm and delving deeper into the matter, offering much-needed clarifications. At the very least, DC owes fans a glimpse into Harley Quinn’s reaction upon discovering that Poison Ivy opted to ask Wonder Woman to be her Valentine instead.
