    A Story With A Shocking Ending

    Another new series Static Shock tells the story of Virgil Hawkins becoming Static Shock. Readers everyone are probably curious about this new series, and so was I. 
     
    THE GOOD:
    I really think that this is one realistic series. When he crashes things people want him to pay for it. It starts off in action and I think that is good for a lot of readers that want to see what this hero can do. Static thinks really highly of himself and I think that makes for an interesting story. I liked this story not because of Static but because of Virgil. he is so human and I think that he is awesome. The end is super shocking and I think that it will draw in everyone who reads the 1st issue.
     
    THE BAD:
    The art is going to take some time to get use to and I was a bit confused and the beginning where he was talking about the plasma and stuff. I think that it would be cooler if I knew what that was about.
     
    THE VERDICT: 3.5/5 (Good)
    I walked into this series not know what to expect and I got what Static was but it's not something I'm really excited for. Static Shock is super book and I think a lot of people are going to like it but not me. I think this should've gave more of an origin and it dives right in and that's okay. If you like good comics this is probably going to be one in a few issues. If you like Static Shock i would guess you're going to get this.

      The new Static Shock does some things wrongs but does more things right, making it overall a welcome new title in DC's line of books. By finding a unique voice for the lead character, John Rozum and Scott McDaniel narrowly avoid having Static fall into the trap of coming off as a generic teen superhero. But their reliance on Milestone continuity does more harm than good when it comes to their chances with new readers.  Rather than restarting Static from scratch, this relaunch features his reloca...

      This comic "Disarmed" me. 0

      The greatest gift Dwayne McDuffie gave comics was a voice for minority. Minority in not just the black culture, but in the spirit of the word. McDuffie knew that:" If you do a black character or a female character or an Asian character, then they aren't just that character. They represent that race or that sex, and they can't be interesting because everything they do has to represent an entire block of people. You know, Superman isn't all white people and neither is Lex Luthor. We knew we had to...
