Plastic Man

by Gail Simone and Adriana Melo

Adriana Melo (Illustrator)

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. Comics veteran Gail Simone takes the helm of an all-new series featuring one of the Justice League's funniest characters, Plastic Man. Collects issues #1-6.

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?
