Static Shock #4

ryonslaught's Static Shock #4 - False Impressions review

A spark in the right direction!

Summary and Scans can be viewed here

The Good

Characterization- Still solid writing for Static, Mcduffie would be proud.

Action- The introductory fight was great! I could easily see Gilotina becoming a mainstay of this series.

New Rogues- A whole bunch of people just got mutated, bang babies in New York, and this has potential!

Continuity-Frieda’s inclusion was a nice ode to the original series as well as Static mentioning his lame villains from the original series, sorry long time fans Rubber band man? LAME!

Story- Rozum and Mcdaniel continue to impress me despite a few hiccups. I’m enjoying this story far more than I enjoyed the first four issues of the original Static.

Cover- There’s something sexy about this cover I just can’t put my “Tongue” on it

The Bad

Clones- Sorry but I could care less what happens to Static’s sister, she was always just a useless one line filler background character…..why is having two of her important in any way? Yawn

Double cross- So Pale man is a cop? Thought he was infinitely more interesting when he was just a younger crazier version of Joker. That had potential! This revelation falls flat and leaves me underwhelmed.

The Ugly

Still one of the better Black Books on the shelves 3/5

Not to mention, there's a possible conflict with the doctor Davidson who's supposedly helping the Hawkins.Back to Static, the jokes are still there despite how corny some are, but I like the chang...

The Good: Definitely a nice cover, it still makes me wish we could have Khary Randolph on interiors, but the perspective of this cover works far better than the last one. It's compelling and right in your face.  Static is absolutely on fire in this issue, his quips are on a serious roll. Does it make him like Spider-Man? Yeah, you could easily say that. But has Static always been like that? Absolutely. If nothing else, Rozum and McDaniel understand Static's character very well. The reintroductio...
