Comic book writer Stephanie Phillips was recently announced as the new writer of the Harley Quinn ongoing comics series. But with a recent tweet she might be hinting at something more... perhaps a redhead scientist?
Thank you all so much for the Harley love... and we're not even done with March announcements yet 🤔 pic.twitter.com/YCrueLkd0A

By reverse image searching the accompanying twitter we are being lead into the Wikipedia entry for Urishiol: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urushiol
Urushiol is an oily mixture of organic compounds with allergenic properties found in plants of the family Anacardiaceae, especially Toxicodendron spp. A famous example is ... Poison Ivy!
It definitely seems like it's not a coincidence but a fun way to announce something Poison Ivy related for March?
Perhaps she is teasing Poison Ivy coming back in the Harley Quinn ongoing. Or a new comic featuring Ivy. Or is it a new Gotham City Sirens book as teased in the Future State event?
Huge Congrats to Stephanie for Harley Quinn and ... we can't wait for the March solicits!
