Diary Of A Gimpy Kid? Image Comics Announces ‘Plastic’ Sequel ‘Plastic: Death & Dolls’ From Wagner And Hillyard
by Olly MacNamee
Creators Doug Wagner and Daniel Hillyard (Plastic, Plush, Vinyl) return to the serial-killer-filled, black-humoured Plastic universe with a new macabre miniseries in the upcoming, Plastic: Death & Dolls. This five-issue miniseries is set to launch in June from Image Comics.
“In Plastic: Death & Dolls, readers learn what drove Edwyn to commit his first kill at 10-years-old and how that set him on a blood-soaked path of decapitations, sporks, and dolls on his way to finding the one true love of his life…a sex doll named Virginia.”
Speaking of their return to where it all began with the secret origin of Edwyn, Wagner said:
“I can’t wait for everyone to read this one. I think it’s Daniel and my best work to date. Not only do we get to play with Edwyn again (this time with him in full serial killer mode), but we get to show off our vision of the quirky and odd 10-year-old Edwyn, his relationship with his mother, and how this little guy ended up decapitating his first victim.”
Hillyard added:
“Getting to spend some quality time with Edwyn again after… well, what seems like only yesterday, really, was just so much fun. Who would have thought that a story about a serial killer in love with a blow-up sex doll would turn out to be so loved, and get a sequel to-boot. It’s a wild crazy ride, and I’m not just saying this, but you won’t want to miss the ending.”
Plastic: Death & Dolls #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, June 12th with the following covers, and I can’t wait! It’s one of the very first series I reviewed for Comicon.com way, way back. and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into this one:
- Cover A by Hillyard & Michelle Madsen
- Cover B by Daniel Hillyard & Michelle Madsen Spork variant
- Cover C by Melissa Pagluica
