PLASTIC TP (MR)

Plastic TP collects the first five issues of Doug Wagner's audacious crime series, illustrated by Daniel Hillyard with color by Laura Martin and cover art by Andrew Robinson. Retired serial killer Edwyn Stoffgruppen has fallen into an unsettling romance with Virginia, a woman he met online whose companionship quiets his vile urges. They roam the back roads of America in a LTD Crown Vic, sharing doughnuts and a dangerous devotion as the past seems to fade. Their volatile balance shatters when a Louisiana billionaire abducts Virginia, forcing Edwyn to kill again in exchange for her freedom. The real twist comes with Virginia’s identity: a sex doll, reframing love, power, and violence in a way that unsettles even seasoned readers. Wagner's chilling storytelling pairs with stark, expressive art to deliver a provocative, genre-blending crime saga that critics praised for its audacity. A standout entry in a bold, contemporary crime property.
