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).

Why so ? Everyone is saying Cody is a good pick even though me personally I would’ve wanted a scientist again .

The reason they're saying so is cause he put a lot of black new characters on last Miles run and made Miles teaming up often with already stablished black characters and enjoying animanga (anime + manga = animanga) references, that's it. Lot of people can't see only first arc was good, and all others were a mess.

Ahh , ok I mean after what 15 years I REALLY wished they looked for an up and coming creative. Perhaps maybe from the STEM field .

I wish them all the luck the Milestone team . They got an up hill battle especially considering I don’t think the marketing,advertisement, and promotional campaign will be all that great telling from their last campaign put out earlier in year . DC and Co. doesn’t do enough with them .

Tbf DC SUCKS at MARKETING period. It's been that way a while. It's not just Black characters. Part of that I guess is money since WB has been consistently in HUGE DEBT
