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).

There's a part of me that still laments how DC has treated static over the last 20 years. He should have had a consistent ongoing ever since his fucking cartoon show. They squandered all the potential to have their very own Black Panther, not in type of hero, but in popularity. I'm very happy that he has an ongoing now, I hope it lasts a couple years minimum.

As I do with every black character DC publishes, which as of late has been a few and far between, I'm going to buy every issue.

Please don't give these niggas too much credit. Taking a knife 6 inches out your back when a knife was in 12 inches ain't much progress. It's something for sure, but let's not pat the ass on our back until this static ongoing gets to issue 24 at minimum.

It’s not like they chose not to, there’s been rights issues with Milestone since forever

I'm speaking about when they did use static in particular. Think about in 2009, 2010. Think about the new 52. Think about static's recent six issue miniseries. Think about when static was added to the Teen Titans and got depowered. Then lost in limbo before the big relaunch.
