Static Shock #1
This collection kicks off the New 52 take on Virgil Hawkins, the teen hero known as Static, as he navigates high school and a new wave of superhuman threats in Dakota. Written by Scott McDaniel and John Rozum, the volume reprints issues #1–8 of the 2012 series, featuring appearances by Hardware and a crossover with Bart Allen as Kid Flash. It also includes backup stories spotlighting other Milestone characters like Tim Drake as Red Robin and Curtis Metcalf's Hardware, setting the stage for a revitalized corner of the DC Universe.
In "Recharged," Static—newly relocated to New York City—finds his quiet adjustment upended when he stumbles into a dangerous criminal conspiracy, drawing the attention of the Slate Gang and the enigmatic Virule. Written by Scott McDaniel and John Rozum, with art by McDaniel and inks by Jonathan Glapion and Le Beau Underwood, this issue blends urban tension with the hero’s signature energy, all wrapped in a cover by McDaniel that captures the electric mood of the moment.
