To be honest I kinda got interested in Static from the Cartoon series but, knowing he was an old character from the 1990's,thought there wouldn't be any comic books around for me read up on. How wrong was I? What a fantastic find this is for the die-hard fans too the casual fans of the TV show. The graphics feel so retro, but that gives it awesome appeal. I was so 'shocked' when I read what the real storylines were but thats what makes this a must have for any comic fan. It really does touch some deep issues and I haven't seen such as strong and influential black character in the comic genre for a very long time (If at all). They should re-release the original series so we can all benefit from this ground breaking yet fun and action-packed hero!

This book recounts the origin and first adventures of Static. The artwork by John Paul Leon is beautifully done, and the painted coloring adds a real sense of quality. The story really captures the feel of Static's everyday life. It is different from the TV show in the details, but the characters, feel, and attitude are the same. I highly recommend it.

Ok what can i say i'm exstatic, lol. What a shocking development..he put a shock to my system. Its static the man virgil hawkins. I ran into this comic a while back when it was hot but wasn't really into it at the time. But now that i've matured and seen the comic it got me interested so ya know what i got static all the static i could find. I love this comic its like a comic for the ages, it deals with all the issues that need to be dealt with in our society. I love how it works the fluency, the art and of course teh writing. I don't know why i didn't find this sooner now i've made quest for myself trying to get my hands on all the static i can i belive issues 1-45. I recommend this to any comic fan of any gender and age. Its the kind of thing that any person can enjoy even those who aren't into comics. The teen angst, super heroes using their brains not their brawn. And that's all i can say..or can think of right now at least

So cool. and just like the electricity that is in Statics' body it came at the speed of light!
