Some thoughts about Plastic Man #2

Can Plastic Man face his fears?

Eel's own cowardice is getting the best of him but once that a little kid is in peril, he will have to act like the hero he should be.

Well, this is still pretty enjoyable as a whole.

Gail Simone delivers another chapter and continues to be the perfect way to tell a story about Plastic Man. It opens in a pretty comedic way as you would expect with the protagonist acting in his classic goofy self and starring in many different funny moments related to the story. This is also extended to the conversations with his employees and even during the action scenes.

That's not to say that is all jokes since there are a few serious moments to break-up the lighthearted tone where Eel has to overcome his previous traumas to save the child who seems strangely connected to the overall plot. It kinda reminds me of the way how the Deadpool movies injects serious moments into the plot to break-up the overly-silly tone (and the fact that the last one has a child as part of the cast as well makes things a little too similar).

Adriana Melo's artwork continues to be a joy to see thanks to her detailed and beautiful characters and flexible style which is once again, ideal for this series.

Good read, hope it continues this way.
