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.
