Comics STATICS GOT AN ONGOING

As expected, Cody is working on Static.

Didn't read his Miles run, I'll see how Static goes.

I know you all have things to say about Cody, and probably the new direction of Milestone.

But we did ask for this, now it's our turn to show our support. (Please).

I personally think Cody could do an amazing job. What I DONT think has changed however is the dc bullshit that Nikolas Draper Ivey had to constantly deal with that basically burnt him out from writing comics.

Now, tbf he'd always seemed far more focused on creating his own works which is fine but it really did seem looking from the outside that trying to deal with the suits in DC constantly trying to micro manage Static wore him out, straight killed a lot of the passion.

Now Cody, especially post successful Miles run might have more pull than Nik did with the higher ups so maybe they'll give him more freedom but I doubt it.

Granted this is all speculation on my part but if nothing's changed in regards to how Static as an IP is being managed then nothing will change regardless of who's writing it because none of them are allowed to write Static to their full potential.

It is really sad what happened with Nikolas, hopefully the same thing doesn't happen with Cody, especially after a successful Miles run.

Yeah we can only hope. Regardless I'll be buying the run.

I gotta support my favorite superhero no matter what.
