Plastic Man. Nine separate trademark registrations for the following were made on the 1st of September this year There are no Plastic Man projects in any media on any official schedule, but at the beginning of the year, James Gunn told Comic Book, "Who would've thought 11 years ago the two most popular rides in the[...]

The lineup includes the Heckler, Plastic Man (who's barely seen), G.I Robot, Minute Man, and more … basically, this is a group that Justice League Detroit or the Great Lake Avengers would call "losers." It's not that they don't have power on deck — Don Hall is back from the dead as Hawk & Dove[...]

It's One-Star Squadron time! Mark Russell is possibly the funniest modern day comic book writer around, And Steve Lieber is pretty decent in this field as

The word on Friday was that Plastic Man was being written as a female-lead movie from Warners, written by Cat Vasko. Of course, Plastic Man has never been a female character in the comic Or has she? Earth 11 is a reality in the DC Multiverse – or Omniverse – in which the traditional genders of the[...]

Plastic Man is indeed still coming to the big screen But, maybe not how originally intended Cat Vasko has been tapped to pen a new script for the project, which will see Plastic Man become female Vasko has written a bunch of acclaimed indie films, and also did some work on Lumberjanes when it used[...]

From the Supergirl digital comic book published yesterday – a new social distancing ad with the Flash and Plastic Man to accompany all the print ones that DC Comics has been running of late Has this one been better thought through than the others?

Next week sees the release of The Terrifics #11 from the creative team of Jeff Lemire and Viktor Bogdanovic, and after the dissolution of the team, Plastic Man heads to visit Angel McDunnagh, his estranged wife and mother of his child Needless to say, she's not too pleased to see him. Yeah, we're pretty sure you gotta pay[...]

Tom Strong, Mister Terrific, and Plastic Man each get good presentations ranging from imposing and intimidating to visually creative Michael Atiyeh contributes a good color treatment that is consistently bright and dazzling throughout. Terrifics #7 more-or-less continues the slump of last issue, and I am a little disappointed While this issue is decidedly better and at[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Plastic Man tries to reason with Man-Bat to keep him from attacking When this doesn't work, Eel bluffs by saying he wants to join the Cabal A mysterious voice says that the Cabal doesn't want the likes of Eel, and soldiers with stun batons capable of hurting Plastic Man arrive Eel has no choice[...]

Hawkman is back, the book is awesome, and I'm so frigging happy about it. Plastic Man #2 cover by Bilquis Evely and Mat Lopes Plastic Man #2 Plastic Man is still investigating his past, but a secret organization is blackmailing him into helping them Worse yet, his secret identity has gotten out to a few people who weren't[...]

Metamorpho has a serious talk with Sapphire, Plastic Man calls Angel, and Phantom Girl tries to get to know Mister Terrific This leaves all four feeling low, and it only worsens when the citizens of a town in Michigan begin turning into Metamorpho-like creatures The Terrifics rally to respond. Terrifics #5 cover by Dale Eaglesham and[...]

It also felt like a classic Fantastic Four story, which Zdarsky has proven himself very adept at crafting in this series. Plastic Man #1 cover by Aaron Lopresti 5 Plastic Man #1 Gail Simone does it again with Plastic Man, a charming, well-paced, and funny book about Eel O'Brian This comedy superhero book has some heart to it, and that's what sets[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Plastic Man has returned to Cole City to investigate the crime that gave him his powers This leads Eel O'Brian to being beaten to a bloody pulp by his old running mates, Suitcase Mizzola, Brutal Benny Turlin, and Dizzy Darren Fitzroy This was just a ploy, of course, and Plastic Man chases after his[...]

Metamorpho and Plastic Man continue their Ben-and-Johnny routine, but it gets points for genuinely being funny. The comic continues to feel like the Fantastic Four, but it still maintains its own unique twists This issue gave me some great nostalgia for Matt Fraction's stint on Fantastic Four from the beginning of Marvel NOW! That was a[...]

Joe Bennett's artwork puts the four into great-looking action panels, including a ghastly Plastic Man and Metamorpho-made slingshot which is both cool and oddly haunting Bennett's work looks great throughout, and Marcelo Maiolo compliments it with a well-balanced and popping color palette which brings the visuals together very well. Terrifics continues to rise to be among[...]

Mister Terrific himself comes off as detached and goal-focused, and the interactions between Metamorpho and Plastic Man have a "Thing and Human Torch" vibe to them Phantom Girl isn't as comparable to Invisible Woman as one might expect, as the former seems far less a leader than the latter The threat which arrives towards the[...]

A long time ago, it was believed that Gail Simone and Ethan Van Sciver were to create a Plastic Man series Possible alongside a Composite Superman storyline It didn't happen. Now, courtesy of DC Comics PR department and media partner Syfy, we have the news that Simone is creating a new Plastic Man series spinning out of The[...]

Plastic Man's presence is further contextualized, and we get an idea of what the new Eel O'Brian will be like. GL and Mister Terrific make for an especially good team-up Who knew? They play off of each other quite well, and there are plenty of laughs between the two (especially in regard to how many asses[...]

Mister Terrific, Metamorpho, Plastic Man, and Phantom Girl is an interesting lineup Plus, it shows that DC is willing to publish a Fantastic Four comic even if Marvel won't. It does feel like something of a prologue comic, and a lot of time is spent explaining what exactly Stagg is doing That explanation could have been[...]
