Plastic

I closed this book having to really figure out where I stand on it. I had to really contemplate what I just read for a few minutes and wrap my head around whether I got anything out of it.

I really didn't. I like dark, weird stories. I'm not easily offended or anything like that and while I breezed through this I found it to be ... wholy unneccessary? Edwyn is really the only character with any sort of development and I can't say I found him super interesting. The plot sounded crazy enough to intruige me but I can't say anything incredible unique or original was accomplished in these five issues.

2.5 Not bad, not great. Sufficient art. I enjoyed parts of this. The overall plot is nothing to write home about. Gwen is an odd one, because she pretends everything that happens is normal and goes along with everything. She seems...questionable. But maybe we'll never know.

The villains were trite.

There hero is nuts. He's basically Lars and the Real Girl. But it's also charming, because he genuinely loves his blow-up doll and talks to her–and dead guys, and his mother's head (and he apparently killed his mother?)–and would do anything to save her when she's in trouble.

But there are so many unanswered questions here that seem like their answers would all be more interesting than what we got.
