As an easterner, I’m not familiar with Static at all. But I’m glad to see Nikolas Draper Ivey winning, amazing artist. Personally feel like the traditional art he did for his old manga like Xogenasys looks slightly better than his digital work but it doesn’t matter, it’s still great. I’m an aspiring mangaka myself and nikolas’ vision to bridge the east and the west with making it look like a Manga is amazing to see. I’ve always wanted to make that happen myself, the future is bright.
I preordered both statics and icons and rockets comics and can’t wait to get into them. I love that they did that with static. On one hand it does change static a bit as he originally was at the sight of a gang war to kill his bully and he decided he wasn’t a killer but then the gas went. Now he’s at a protest which I feel modernized it and fit more than a gang battle in the 90’s.He loses that decision of revenge but it draws upon what’s happening now fits the story still. It’s a great example of how to modernize a story and bring real events and topics into a story without taking away from the story or superhero . Nothings shoehorned in like safe space and snowflake but nothings ignored either because race and just life in Dakota is key to Static as a character .
@@comicbreakdown static is the shit hopefully you can definitely finish the whole series do you ever do you like Gothic horror comics and stuff I seen those before
I got to keep up with this line this is the first issue this is my new go to comic book because growing up watching static on TV and also collecting the old milestone comic books of static I like this new refresher
MAN-DUDE. THIS COMIC BOOK IS EXTREMELY AWESOME. THE STORYLINE IS TOP-NOTCH LIKE THAT. THE ACTION IS A DREAM COME TRUE. I AM DEFINITELY BUYING THIS COMIC BOOK. A MILLION THANKS, GUY. TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE.
@@darrenwashington9842 just got all of them expect #1 . But I did get 2 #5s one with blue cover he’s in a box and the other is red cover did I get different stories ?
@@darrenwashington9842 well I just checked them out they are the same but ones more of a hard cover and doesn’t say miles return and is 4.99$ the other says miles return soft cover and is 3.99$ can you explain why they are different covers ?
Even though this is a reboot it’s still paying respects to the original story and I feel like a lot of people should stop criticizing. Is reboot just because they don’t like how it’s being too real. Or being political original static shock was political and that’s what made it a interesting and inspiring story and comic.
It’s all a facade. They think they’re paying respects to source material unless you deep-dive into the original lore and see all the things the new writers left out and changed. You’re seeing things at base level.
@Will N i know they can have counterparts there was a static comic in the current universe for dc during new 52 but he asked about these and for there separate for now
The art style definitely has manga elements, I think it was smart decision to take what works what doesn’t! And can also attract fans who love that style and introduce them to the hero world.
@@electromagneticpsychopath4973 Being a hardcore Static fan, I feel like I was more critical than most. To give you a short answer? I like it. Not _in love with it,_ but I like it. I think it's a very *good* start. Long answer is...I'm...very happy it maintained a lot of things that kept the essence of not only Virgil but static comics as a whole. I think that's what made me the most happy. That it managed to capture that same spirit - while introducing it's new twist. It doesn't do this offensively. It doesn't do it in a way that's a hard pill to swallow; it's very natural and you find yourself nodding your head and going 'It's different but it's the same.' The only thing that my critical ass is not satisfied with is that there is a certain...playfulness missing from the book. Specifically from Virgil. I was waiting to see a glimpse of the snarky, wisecracking V that always has the occasional smartass thing to say - even if it got him in hot water. And that's largely not there. This Virgil is much more subdued as far as charisma. He's more angry, more emotional, more broody. And it's not that I don't _understand this._ Based on how the story is being told, it's _very understandable._ This is a much more realistic take on Virgil and how he's dealing with the aftermath of his powers and the big bang. And I'm...sort of waiting? Because once he's come to terms with that the more charismatic, playful Virgil might rise more to the fore. Naturally. But I won't say I wasn't disappointed to not see him right away. The series still has a lot more to show, so I'm pretty much just keeping this as a reservation if it *sticks.* But yeah. So far. I like it. Impressed me, even because I wasn't expecting things to go this well at the start; especially after we got that Hudlin preview.
@@onceuponagamemaster1588 yeah I'm sure they'll give him his snarky attitude in future issues. Especially once he officially takes his namesake of static in this. I'm just glad they kept his intelligence and didn't dumb him down into an electro.
@@electromagneticpsychopath4973 I have a sneaking suspicion after seeing some things Nik has said and reading the first issue that this will be the most powerful + intelligent version of Static we've ever seen _yet._ Nikolas has been talking about all the abilities Static has for a bit - things most people overlook. And then even while I feel kind of funny about it - I believe Virgil learning under Curtis Metcalf as his student is REALLY gonna boost his tactical prowess. I think even before this season is over...we're likely gonna see Static do some things we have NEVER witnessed from Static before.
I went to the comic store to start my comic collection and I got Batman the long hallowen hardcover and I picked this up because I saw static and said it’s prolly static shock but also cause it said season one. Didn’t realize I got issue 5 tho so I’m gonna need these vids to recap
Id check out south side comics. They are great for having things in stock and online sales. Or local comic store might have it. You’ll have to look around.
@Heartattack 77 Way to dismiss someone saying a slur. More importantly if you actually read issue 1 you'd realize that Virgil regrets almost killing the racist. When he sees Hotstreak again the first thing he does is try to apologize. Bye racist.
I mean she got a couple of cringe lines of dialogue like s-tier sister and hotstreak literally being the big bad wolf like cringe…I’m a huge fan of the artist tho been following Nik for years now but Ima see where this story go…I haven’t been reading comics since the whole sjw takeover but static one of my favorites tho especially from the show
@@RaymondGOAT Hot Streak wasn't literally the big bad wolf. He quoted the big bad wolf. And cliche? Sure. Cringy not so much. Also maybe actually talk to kids these days. I hear stuff like "S-tier" All the time.
@@prideguy3233 I know he Quoted yes it’s cringe worthy in the situation she used it in and nun of my little cousins are saying S-tier none I’ve never heard kids say S-tier anything bro not in a real conversation so it’s cringe sorry… my little cousins was staying with up until may never did I hear s-tier anything come out there mouth compared to manga that was cringe…the problem with comic writer is tell a good story…and I don’t mind cliche see cliche are good but that big bad wolf line wasn’t it bro…
Man just finished reading this man it's so good to have him back.
"if you don't know who Static Shock is", then definitely watch the cartoon! it'll get you caught up on what you should probably know
He actually goes by static
Or the original comics
The original comic book run is the best reference for Static

@@comicbreakdown static is the shit hopefully you can definitely finish the whole series do you ever do you like Gothic horror comics and stuff I seen those before
ChrisCross only did the layouts, Nikolas Draper-Ivey did the pencils too along with inks and colours
It was...ok, they kinda made virgil a little bit of an asshole but it's just issue 1
I get what they're trying to do. Virgil's sense of normalcy is pretty much over and is depressed about it.

Virgil hairline better than Steve Harvey
Anyone else get a little webtoon vines from the art?

Wait! There's a Static movie on the way? 😧😧😧
I loved static"s cartoon series
I freaking love static

Hot streak is dead😂😂
Static is gonna shock this man's ass
I hope we see Ebon in the comic
How shocking!
Nice
Awesome
Yes
Drapeivey did a great job
Woa
Is this still part of the DC Universe?
For right now there keeping milestone and dc separate there tryna get milestone to be a household name on its own
@Will N i know they can have counterparts there was a static comic in the current universe for dc during new 52 but he asked about these and for there separate for now
Nope
Yeah kinda. yes and no
👍
the comic really tries to come out as a manga, hopefully it works for them.
How?

Yeah I actually didn't like the art and style
@@Elricsedric I respect that could you say why maybe highlight some flaws I didn’t notice
Static needs a push man.
Your that guy pal. For posting this. Your not that guy if you don’t post more of it.
More will come!
