Plastic Man uses his abilities to help his buddy Woozy Winks land a date with a hot-looking chick. Aside from a comedic encounter with a shark, there isn't much more of a plot than that. Even the unnamed girl who Woozy falls for is never given much of a personality aside from her wonderment at Plastic Man's abilities and a childlike glee at meeting Woozy and Plas. But then this story isn't suppose to be a complex thriller. Basically, it is a chance for both Plastic Man and artist Scott Morse to show off their abilities with the vulcanized vigilante making some incredible and hilarious transformations. Morse's art is unlike anything in a mainstream title. It is colorful, zany and light-hearted but does not resort to weirdness-for-weirdness sake or gross-out tricks to look cool. This entire comic could be expanded, given a hardcover and turned into a gorgeous children's book. Plastic Man's comic book may not be setting sales records but between Morse and regular artist Kyle Baker, it may be one of the best-looking titles on the market. And yes, that includes the ones that Jim Lee does.
