#1 up.
I felt it was long enough to show several angles of the story, though I may not have gotten enough character points. Thoughts?

That was one wild ride for a first issue. I found myself wondering what was up with Swamp Thing for bit, then realized it was one of the Parasites, once the purple female version was mentioned. This is definitely nothing that I would've envisioned for a Plastic Man story, but I do think I'm going to enjoy it. Good job man!

Fascinating and very original take on PLastic Man. Very interesting stuff, and I can't wait to read more. Good job.

The Grey, Ha, awesome. As said above, original and interesting. Look forward to seeing what you do with this character and story.

Really did not see that origin coming. I'm impressed.

I really enjoyed it. Was not even close to what I expected from a Plastic Man title. Hope you deliver with this awesome premise.

I was surprised as well at the female Parasite being used here. I did like the origin and how you tied in Plastic Man and Elongated Man together here. Good 1st issue.

#2 up.
Sorry for the long absence- was busy with real-life stuff and other writing. Either way, I originally planned this to be the issue that concludes the origin arc. But it doesn't seem like I'll be having clear-cut arcs at all, so this became what it was- a conclusion to one story, and a middle part to another. Thoughts?
I had hoped to get some of Dibny's point of view in here, but that didn't work out. It'll probably make it into issue #3, along with some establishment of a new status quo for O'Brian.

Dude, I really like this take on Plastic man. I hope in the future you can link in this story to whoever is writing animal man and swamp thing. I love the concept of the Grey. Can't wait to see a little Ralph. Got a little confused with the dream scene, but keep it coming.

Your take on this character is very unique, and fascinating. I really like the feel of this series, and am fascinated to see where this tale is taking us. Issue #2 was very enjoyable. Kudos.

I read it kind of late and on my phone so might be my fault, but I got confused with he two alexes. Just spent a lot of the time going which one is being talked about.

buck: Well, they won't show up in the next few issues, so that should fix the problem! Other than that, yes, I recognize that could be an issue. Will try to limit same-name characters in the future.
Everyone: Deep apologies for being late with #3. This was my fault, caused by a combination of writer's block and procrastination. It's up now- thoughts?

Good stuff man, loving the ambiguous 'grey.' Ralph's scenes were good- feeling like I'm getting to know him more. Not really sure what his relationship is with Patrick yet- but I think it'll just come down to more interaction. Anyway, good work.

I really like the characters in this. Plastic Man is a good fit and love the aspect there is a greater force pushing them now. Good work man with the Gray.

Okay, #4 up.
This is largely an "opening up" issue. That is, if you feel you dislike the last part (or that it feels too abrupt), don't worry- there's much more to the story, as will be elaborated on in #5. Less humor, but I guess I had to cut something out.
Thoughts?

To me I always liked humor in Plastic Man as a character. I always the character moments more than non stop action pieces. Now I did like the whole investigation into the factory that Patrick did and finding Doctor Dome was there and battling him again , and realizing his former friend and room mate was driven insane.
I just hope we get more comedy though.

Wow, you really are doing strange things with this series: Plastic fighting ex room-mates, Dibny agreeing to take on Humanity city-by-city. Can't wait to see where this goes. I really like how the grey is portrayed- I hope the 'grey' inside of Plastic gets a bit of personality. I agree with superecw, a bit more humour would be great, even if it's just in the absurdity of what's happening. I hope it's not the last we see of Dr Dome, he has so much potential as an off-beat nemesis. Good stuff.
