Static: Season One #3

Static Season One is hitting all the right marks. This is a reimagining of a 90s character done right and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite titles from DC. Read Full Review

Static: Season One #3 hits the series' halfway point by cementing the unique bonds Virgil Hawkins has with his friends and family. The next issue promises a rematch with Hotstreak, and now that Virgil has a costume and better control of his powers, I'm eager to see how that turns out. Read Full Review

We may be two issues into this book, but it's really not until this issue where Static is truly born. Read Full Review

The second life of Milestone is off to a strong start, and the series centered around one of its most notable characters continues to be a truly wonderful mix of old and new. Strong character work, modernization of characters that are still relevant, amazing artwork, and a clear focus on the ultimate goal help make this book fly high. Read Full Review

Draper-Ivey and Chriscross have brilliant visual styles and those styles come through on every page. Each page and panel is filled with great detail as well as awesome characters and action focus. Read Full Review

Vita Ayala, Nikolas Draper-Ivey, ChrisCross, Will Quintana and AndWorld Design continue to build on to the world of Dakota through Static. The series is gripping, entertaining and absolutely fantastic in every avenue so far and I can't wait to see how far they can go from here! Read Full Review

While the comic meanders a bit with subplots at times, I think this comic feels both authentic and new, and it's been a fun superhero series so far. Read Full Review

There are a few minor nitpicks I might have, but otherwise this comic is coming along nicely, with solid growth for both our hero and the threat around him. Read Full Review

This is a fantastic look at a different universe of heroes and villains that shows great respect for what came before and offers wholly new experiences for people just joining the party. Read Full Review

Season One #3 was the best issue of this young series thus far. Vita Ayala does a great job balancing out Virgil Hawkins superhero journey and how he interacts with his entire supporting cast. All the moments in this issue are further enhanced by the artwork done by Nikolas Draper-Ivey and Chriscross. It all comes together for yet another example of how Static: Season One has quickly become one of DC Comics best titles. Read Full Review

Static: Season One #3 is a good comic. It takes some of my concerns and attempts to use them to shake a familiar formula up. We'll see how well it does that in future issues, but for now it's clear the series is doing things a bit different and keeping things fresh and interesting. Read Full Review

It might mainly be a character and plot development issue but 99% doesn't switch off readers due to the scripting by Ayala and the artwork Chriscross puts in. The next few issues look like they are about to explode so it's worth keeping this title in your subscription. Other DC titles, like Fear State, should look to Static to see how to slowly set up without turning off the audience. Read Full Review

Ayala's "Static" series is certainly picking up steam in the third issue of the Milestone reboot. If she keeps this up and decides to work with a different penciller, I can smell a "Hot Streak" coming ! Read Full Review

This feels good and thrilling in all of the right ways. There's how Virgil can evade the cops who think he works for Hardware and how his relationship with his family leads into his further development like how he makes his costume and talks things out with his dad and friends after all of the concerns. It feels like a big win that gets spoiled when a (understandably) panicking law enforcement flies by the seat of their pants to contain Bang Babies as Hotstreak manages to convince them to allow him to target suspected Bang Babies. This feels like when people reported on others during the Covid panic just for annoying them. I guess this is what they some people mean when applicability is the best kind of social commentary.

This feels like I'm watching Sam Raimi's 2002 Spiderman unfold. This is continues the classic coming of age story for Virgil. I love it. We finally get the suit, which is badass. And we get some needed character growth from Virgil. The conversation with his father felt real & authentic. It was helpful, truthful, realistic & more. Can't wait for issue 4. My only problem is the switch in artist. Chriss Cross has an interesting style but Draper-Ivy's style just felt perfect for this entire run. I hope they go back to that art style in issue 4.

This isn't bad but I really do think it's gone downhill from the first issue.
