Static Shock #8

Part of DC's New 52 initiative, Static Shock #8 arrives in June 2012 with the tantalizing promise of "Secrets of the Past Revealed!" The cover by Khary Randolph and LeBeau Underwood delivers a striking image: a cloaked, shadowy figure crackles with blue-white electricity, their energy casting a dramatic silhouette across a rain-soaked backdrop. Writer Marc Bernardin joins artists Scott McDaniel and Andy Owens for "Harsh Truths," and this moody, charged cover suggests the issue is building toward something genuinely significant for Virgil Hawkins and his world.
