>>27992 Sorry shitlord but Plastic WOMYN is a strong independent black woman now who's way funnier than any man!
>>27997 So basically they saw that Plastic Man was originally a criminal, and thus decided he must be black?
>>28002 Just like Marvel saw Namor being atlantean so they made him a wetback.
What are some good plastic man stories?

>>27997 Why did you curse this thread with the first post being about CURRENT YEAR CANCER THAT HASN'T EVEN RELEASED?! YOU FUCKING SHIT EATING NIGGER! There is also a dyke feminigger friendly 3DPD movie project, but fortunately it is in development hell. I hope both this movie and the shite cartoon will share the same fate as the canned Nu Gods movie. >>28002 >>28003 Take your culture war crap to pain thread, you faggot niggers.
>>28017 You're not allowed to forget.

>>28016 Pretty much the entire vol 1/the original Jack Cole run. I would start with Police comic issue 1 reading until issue 27 (it's around the same time the first Plastic Man solo comic came out) and then you can read either Plastic Man comic itself or continue with Police Comics or just read them both at the same time, it doesn't really matter chronologically wise (superior Golden Age). I made the mistake and read the Plastic Man comics first and then the Police Comics, but it didn't hamper my reading experience at all.
>>28017 >your culture war We didn't start the fire.
>>28017 There is no need to be upset.

Watching the episode "Plastic Man Saves the World" in (sadly, underrated and short-lived) JLA, made me fall in love with his character so of course the next logical thing to do was to read his original comic, and oh boy, was I in for a treat! Both Plastic Man and Kamandi are my two most favorite comics of all times. They both have adventures with Sci-Fi and Fantasy elements starring a strong MC, not necessarily in terms of physical power (though Plastic Man is very strong), but rather in terms of presence and personality. In other words, having both terrific plot(s) and protagonist which makes them highly engaging and entertaining. What was your first introduction to Plastic Man? What are favorite and least favorite Plastic Man stories?
>>27997 Well that shit is probably getting cancelled now. Literally thank Jesus.
>>28119 If you like Kamandi, check out all the Great Disaster stories DC put out over the years. I got a collection of them, Showcase Presents: The Great Disaster: Featuring The Atomic Knights. It's cool how it puts all the stories in chronological order, but originally they were just published all over the place. But basically it's a bunch of stories after doomsday in the Kamandi timeline, but not about Kamandi. So there are a bunch of shorts called "The Day After Doomsday!" (some of which were not originally titled, many of which are just one or two pages), and they're about the survivors picking up in the immediate aftermath of World War 3. Then there is The Atomic Knights, survivors who find suits of armor which happen to have been irradiated in just the right way to make them invulnerable to the radiation which now plagues large parts of the world, as well as some ray guns that have become popular, so they use them to become heroes. Then there's Hercules Unbound, where Hercules, who has been chained up for a long time, is freed by World War 3, and goes out to do hero stuff in the post-apocalyptic world, dealing with other gods and stuff (this series actually deals with the origin of the humanoid animals from Kamandi). Also there are a few other scattered stories, like some about animal people from Kamandi stories (but Kamandi himself isn't in them), and a couple with Superman crossing over and dealing with stuff from this timeline, including meeting Hercules and The Atomic Knights. It was all really cool and I had no idea about it until I happened upon this book, despite knowing Kamandi. It probably wasn't planned to all fit together first, but once they did that Hercules Unbound series, which was after Kamandi, they realized they should put them together, and they started drawing connections. Unfortunately I have not read that many Plastic Man solo stories, so I can't contribute that much to the actual thread topic. But I've always maintained that he's a sorely underrated member of the Justice League, and deserves to be up there with at least the second-stringers like Hawkman and Green Arrow. Also, Plastic Man of Earth-X deserved better than just being written out due to Earth-One already having a Plastic Man. Later stories on Earth 10 have done a little more with him, but it's not really the same, since Earth-X was clearly intended to be the original Plastic Man and it would have been cool to see his continuing adventures. Yes, they did specify that Earth-X is technically not the Quality Comics universe, but it was clearly intended as that when it was created, and it's cooler just to act like it is.
>>28189 >Showcase Presents: The Great Disaster: Featuring The Atomic Knights Thanks anon, I'll check them though seeing how everything post Kirby writing Kamandi have been godawful, I'm more than a bit afraid. Also, I prefer and like how the Great Disaster in Kamandi was surrounded by mystery and wasn't fully revealed. Such a shame that Kirby didn't went back and gave it an ending like New Gods, though it wasn't his passion project like the former but rather corporate shit enforced upon him like The Demon in which he turned both into gold...I do wonder if Kirby planned at some point to tell the full story behind the Great Disaster or leave it as a mystery. >Unfortunately I have not read that many Plastic Man solo stories You should, they're fun and varied! The Jack Cole run is amazing and nearly sheer perfection. >underrated member of the Justice League Plastic Man is in a weird situation in which he is the most obscure among popular superheros or the most popular among obscure superheros. The fact he never got a good cartoon is beyond criminal, he totally deserved high quality Fleischer shorts, whether it's in his original art style or even fully classic rubber hose in which him and Woozy would still look great. >Earth-X I'm no expert by any means and I don't like the multiverse autism of the hackish big two (Golden Age anthologies were superior). Looking it up, it's apparently a universe in which the Nazis won...I don't see what fun adventures Plastic Man can have in this dreadful universe. >Earth 10 >"The PlaSStic Men are servants of the Nazi Party in the universe of Earth 10." >shitty pun That's fucking gay and sucks, imagine if they've dared to do this shit to batfaggot. >Earth-One This one is really weird, initially when the hacks at DC got their grabby hands on Plas, they changed his prefect costume and made him cover his legs as well change his curly hairstyle, ugh. So Vol 2 Plastic Man until issue 10 looks like this, same with some of his crossovers like in Brave and the Bold and they also turned him into a Gary Stu that can have his body cut and still alive, as if he is Inque or something. Later on, they reboot him to be more like his original superior Golden Age version and they even brought Woozy back. It honestly seems to be the closest to OG Plas, so I'll might give it a proper shot, I just don't like how uncute Woozy is (he is even worse than his third stage design in OG PM) and I noticed that there a lot of thought bubbles. I guess I sound rigid and uptight, but Plas doesn't need so much monologue like say Spiderman, it's just doesn't fit his character and I admittedly do have very high standards when it comes to Woozy looking cute! Checking later Plas comics by DC, he seems to be usually drawn realistic, aka stiff and/or lumpy, ugh, like most later le serious business capeshit for "adults". There was one comic in which was drawn like Spumco, which is also ugly (despite the cartooniness) and I found it to be on the other extreme. Overall, unfortunately DC dumped his original Eel O'Brian character and poor Woozy, changed his name to Patrick O'Brian (should've given him full name as Ewan "Eel" O'Brian, or something else that is Irish and start with E) and turned him into a retard (because no one besides Batfaggot allowed to be smart and most writers today are stupid). I do exceptionally love the JLA cartoon version a lot though. >Quality Comics Once upon a time there were Quality Comics but then DC swallowed them and there were no longer Quality Comics...
