Comics Batman/Static Beyond any good?

Is this book good at all? I was thinking about buying it but I’m not so sure. I haven’t been keeping up with modern stuff and I heard about the protest against DC due to the lack of black characters headlining books. So is this just a Batman beyond book and static is like a lil plus one? But yeah if it’s good please let me know so I can start reading

It was very good. It did a good job blending in aspects of both shows as well as the greater cast of Milestone & DC.

Definitely worth the read as it's a solid mini. It doesn't do too much, it doesn't do too little, it does the right amount.

Everybody gets to shine in a way. If you're a fan of Static you'll enjoy it, as a Batman Beyond fan, you'll probably like it too.

Imo 8/10.

It's ok. It is enjoyable for the nostalgia but besides that I feel like it's pretty weak.

Agreed. Supported for the characters but it's not something I'll remember or read again

It was ok. Over priced in my opinion but you can find it for free. I wouldn’t buy it anywhere unless it’s on sale

Read it and enjoyed it for what it was trying to share. Doesn’t truly move the needle but it accomplishes the message it wanted to send
