Static: Season One #2

Static stands his ground in front of a blazing, flame-engulfed building, both hands crackling with blue bioelectric energy as swirling golden lightning spirals behind him — while two figures crouch in the background, clearly in need of protection. Part of DC's Milestone Returns initiative, Static: Season One #2 brings writer Vita Ayala and artist ChrisCross together for "Episode Two: Family Meeting," a title that takes on a charged new meaning given the danger surrounding those background figures on Khary Randolph's vivid cover. It's a striking second issue that makes clear Virgil Hawkins isn't just mastering his powers — he's putting them on the line for the people who matter most.
