Plastic Man (2018)

by Gail Simone, Bilquis Evely (Cover Art), Mat Lopes (Cover Art)

Eel didn’t like it when a spy blackmailed him over his secret identity, and then a kid found out, and now the dancers at his club know and the concept of a secret identity has gotten stretched way the heck out of whack. But the dancers are helping him find the kid, who was nabbed by some bad guys who don’t know his secret identity, just his costumed persona, which is still a terrible day, even in his pretty rotten life.

I read this on and off for a few days. Surprising because it's one of the only books I've been dying to read! Gail has done it again! I really care about "Eel". I love seeing anti-hero types: those characters that began on the wrong side but become a hero for one reason or another. This is such a wacky book, the humor really works for it and I'm super excited for the next issue!

Plastic Man is a fun escape fun reality. Sure, he’s dealing with a lot of shit in his life, but somehow he makes it all seem…well not quite comical, but…less intimidating? I like the vibe his character gives off.
This issue focused a lot on trying to further Plastic Man’s character growth. I personally love plots like this, so obviously I’m biased when I say I’m happy they did so. The banter among a few of the side characters was the cherry on top though.
I’m curious about the world that Plastic Man lives in. Clearly he’s in one of the alternate DC Universes…because the Batman in his world is not the one we know and love. Could this be another consequence of the Dark Nights plot that happened several months ago?

Gail must be having a blast writing these. I hope she is, they’re hilarious.

Another 3.5 star read. I might just stop reading this series. The biggest problem with this series is how forgettable it is. As in i’ve forgot everything that happened in this. I remember something about man bat but that’s it. I do remember liking it more than issue 1.

I didn’t enjoy issue 2 as much as 1, but it was still enough to make me want to keep going. No one seems freaked out by or even bats an eye at a man who can shapeshift like he’s made of flubber…

Better than the last issue. Just as comedic in the best way.
