Static now a hero of New York instead of Dakota
Cover
I liked the cover for this issue. The art was pretty cool and I really liked how they drew Statics powers. It was very cool. So, I was kind of excited to read this issue.
Story
Static has moved to New York from Dakota. Now he has to get use to being a hero in New York and working for STAR Labs.
Best Part
I liked that in this issue they did not change Virgil’s personality. From the tv show and the other comics this is Virgil’s personality and I am glad they stayed true to that. Also glad to see a little of Virgil’s family in this issue. I was not sure if they were going to include them that much in this series but I am glad to see that they may be a big part of the series.
Worst Part
I have read Static Shock before in comic books but I mostly really liked Static’s character from the tv show. But I do know there were going to be differences from the tv shows when I picked this up but I wish there were not so many differences. The first thing I loved about the tv show was the bang babies. I thought the bang babies were cool villain and interesting. Just because Static could have been just like them. But in this issue we do not even get bang baby mentioned. Another disappointment was that Static was in New York instead of Dakota. I am glad that they mentioned that his hometown was Dakota but for a reboot you would think that Static would be starting again in his hometown. The last disappointment with the story was when Virgil is talking to himself all he does is talk about the science of what is happening. I look forward to the inner thoughts of a person in comics because that is what makes comics unique. But it has to be a little interesting.
Art
As I read the issue I was a little iffy on the art. Because in my personal opinion I did not like the art but I know this is the kind of style most Static Shock comics have. I think it is a little bulgy and a little sketchy. That is a reason I am not a big fan of it but I still respect why they used this style of art. So, the art in the issue was not a big problem.
Pick it up or not
Do not pick it up!!
