Plastic Man (2018-) #1 by Adriana Melo, Gail Simone, Aaron Lopresti, Kelly Fitzpatrick
3.0
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.
