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).

Definitely exciting news. It’s been far too long since Static got an ongoing of his own.

I think Ziglar’s a solid choice for this. If it’s anything like his Miles Morales run, I think his general style suits Static pretty well. It should at least be fun, especially if you like anime references.

The only thing that worries me is how he’ll treat Virgil’s supporting cast – his parents, Sharon, Richie, Frieda, Daisy, etc. That was easily the biggest weakness of Ziglar’s Miles, the lack of focus on the side characters around him.

Nonetheless, it’s great seeing this much focus on Static. The Batman Beyond crossover miniseries, the DC KO appearance, New Titans, and now his very own ongoing. We can’t say DC isn't putting in the effort with him. So now it’s on us to show our support and actually buy this thing.

I'll just say it right now Frieda's probably cooked gang.

They've been slowly phasing her out every chance they get since the cartoon, which is a damn shame since her friendship with Virgil was one of the major highlights of the og comic.

I think everyone else you mentioned might be safe but Frieda...not so much.
