For sake of honestly I should probably say that I don’t know much about Plastic Man. The only time I’ve really come across him before now was that one unfortunate time he crossed paths with the Suicide Squad, and that didn’t exactly go well for him.
Having read the first issue he sort of reminds me of Mr. Fantastic (abilities only that is) but with a slight variation in how he handles things. Personality wise he reminds me of Jim Carry in the Mask. He’s silly and full of confidence and looking to make his life better somewhat. Granted, our guy here seems to be a bit more altruistic than Carry’s character, so I have to give him full credit for that.
I liked the art style for this issue; it’s a cross between a more traditional comic style and the more modern styles we’ve been seeing. So it’s borderline retro but not quite. Considering the character it fits perfectly.

I never found my reason to care for this story. Plastic Man had moments of likability, but longer stretches where I didn't like him. It mostly fell flat for me. Some of that may be just that I don't like the setup that a #1 requires, but… I'm not sure I'll pick up #2.

I wasn't going to delve into this (my pull list is long enough) but I was Forbidden Planet London, and there it was, so I caved.
Funny, intriguing, and downright bloody good fun, this is Gail at her best. Art style has a great retro feel to it, but at times, it was a struggle to place its intended timeframe.
And yeah...it's been added!

This is pretty great!
Gail can get me to read just about anything and while I have had limited exposure to Plastic Man (I think he was in Indentity Crisis? He was definitely in Avengers v JLA) I really like the character here. He’s funny and kooky and his background if very interesting. The plot intrigued me and the art is gorgeous!
Definitely recommend checking it out!
