What. The. Fuck. If you thought the debut issue was weird, Plush #2 ups that multiple levels. I’ve never had a comic leave me in utter bizarre shock but at the same time smiling and trying not to burst out in laughter. Weird is an understatement. This issue, and the series as a whole, is bonkers. And I love it.
Still in his overly ripe fursuit, Devin can only watch from his jail cell as two very disparate groups fight over him-the jealous deputy and his friends, intent on staging his death, and a group of psychotic, cannibalistic furries that wish to invite him over for dinner.
Yup, they’re not there to eat Devin, they’re there because they want to make friends.
Doug Wagner has delivered one of the weirdest “come with me if you want to live moments” as the cannibalistic furries are kind of friendly. They’re also really twisted. The talk of eating vegans as well as references to Basic Instinct deliver punch line after punch line that will get readers laughing in a shocked sort of way. And it’s all great. Wagner’s delivery is so out there, so over the top, it’s hard not to laugh at it all and just appreciate the bizarre nature of what’s in front of you. It also left me wanting to know more about the cannibalistic furries.
Part of the fun is Daniel Hillyard‘s art. With Rico Renzi‘s colors and lettering by Ed Dukeshire, the visuals are as insane as the story. Blood flows and flies, as well as body parts, as the cannibal furries go to town on the crooked cops. The design of their costumes add to the hilarity of it all, everything is enhanced for humor and insanity. It’s an orgy of destruction and death delivered with glee in the most fucked up ways.
Plush #2 is insanity and it’s fantastic. It’s hard to not laugh at its over the top nature and appreciate where it goes. Exactly where that is, I have no idea, but I’m here for the ride.

Cannibal furries. Corrupt cops. A beaten down man. It all comes together in Plush #1, a debut issue that’s as twisted as it is funny.
Devin Fulcher is a broken man. His girlfriend is pregnant with another man’s child. He’s contemplating staying with her being pressured by his mother and her Sheriff father (did we mention his deputy is the father of the child?). So, what does Devin do? Head to a furry convention with his friend. There the insanity begins as he comes across a group of furries devouring a human. Or is he tripping and seeing things?
Writer Doug Wagner delivers this insanity and more in a debut that’s twistedly fun. What did Devin witness? Will they help him or hurt him while Devin also deals with corrupt cops? We’ll have to wait and find out but the premise is out there, wacky fun.
Wagner through the insanity though nails Devin. You feel for him as a person and you can see the level of low he’s reached in his life. That’s in part due to the art of Daniel Hillyard.
Along with color by Rico Renzi and lettering by Ed Dukeshire, the art for Plush #1 brings him the desperation of Devin and the insanity of the situation. With the bright colors, the designs feel like drug induced takes on Sid and Marty Krofft’s creations. Everything is exaggerated and it works to such a degree to make you laugh but even through all of that, Devin’s hurt comes through with his body language and facial expressions.
Plush #1 is a twisted start with an over-the-top premise that’ll deliver laughs. There’s so much to take in, it’s hard to say what will deliver more entertainment in the future. If you like series like Chew and I Hate Fairyland, this is a debut you’ll want to check out.
