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.
