Static: Season One reimagines Virgil Hawkins and his city of Dakota thanks to writer Vita Ayala with artists ChrisCross and Nikolas Draper-Ivey.
“Bullied nerd Virgil Hawkins wasn’t the kind of kid you’d normally find on the streets at a protest – but like everyone else in the city of Dakota, he was fed up,” reads DC’s description of Static: Season One #1.
RELATED: WHO IS VIRGIL HAWKINS/STATIC?
“Unfortunately, the first time he stood up to raise his voice, the world turned upside down. The experimental tear gas released that day left some of his classmates maimed or dead… but it left Virgil, and others, with stunning new abilities. Virgil has power inside him now – real power, the ability to channel and manipulate electromagnetic fields.
“But there’s anger burning inside him, too,” the description continues. “What is he supposed to do about all of this? And first and foremost – what is he supposed to do about his bullies, now that they’ve got superpowers too?”
Static: Season One #1 (of 6) goes on sale on June 15. A hardcover collection of Static: Season One is already scheduled for February 15, 2022.
