Plastic Man (2018)

by Gail Simone, Tamra Bonvillain (Cover Art), Tess Fowler (Cover Art)

Eel O’Brian takes a flexible view of morality: you walk on your side of the line, he’ll keep his feet on his (no promises about his hands, eyes, ears or midsection). That all stopped when his alter ego Plastic Man got suckered into the high-stakes world of super-heroic traitors and super-villainous cabals. Now he’s gonna stiffen his spine, screw up his courage and take the law into his own hands. Or he’s going to swat Queen Bee into next Tuesday with his fly-swatter hand. One or the other.

[Robert Hultman · Rating 2 out of 5]

I liked it for about two and a third of the first three issues, then it kept developing the elements I like least about it: The-Big-Daddy-style-I’m-useless-with-kids thing, underdeveloped peripherals, and a dozen supervillains and side characters I haven’t been given any reasons to care about.

This story was at its best when it had a relatively small scope. This whole supervillain gang thing just didn't fit the character and made me glaze my eyes over.
