Static #16

Static #16 kicks off the five-part "What Are Little Boys Made Of?" arc with a kinetic cover by penciler John Paul Leon and inker John Stanisci, showcasing a striker in an orange-striped outfit and blue top hat wielding crossed weapons amid a chaos of crashing vehicles — and the logo proudly announces the introduction of Joyrider. The parking-garage mayhem and the energy burst crackling at the center of the action make this 1994 Milestone/DC issue feel genuinely charged with momentum. With Robert L. Washington III writing and Wilfred Santiago on interior art, this is a great jumping-on point for one of the most distinctive superhero series of its era.
