Static Shock 1 (November 2011)

The first issue of Static Shock ends with the titular hero about to be killed by some superhumans on floating mopeds. Unfortunately, I don’t think he’s going to die. Because if he did die, I’d never have to read a third issue of this series.

I’m not even going to talk about the Scott McDaniel art. It’s an easy target—it’s impossible to tell what’s going on and I can’t figure out why the book needs two inkers. They do about the work of a third of a bad inker.

Anyway, skipping McDaniel… the writing is awful. It hurts me to say it, because I like John Rozum’s work usually, but Static Shock is the most incompetently written book in the DC relaunch so far. And there are some really bad titles it’s worse than.

McDaniel and Rozum write a voiceover, not a narration.

It’s indescribably bad; just utter garbage.
