    Harsh Truths last edited by lordhater1 on 09/30/22 08:50AM View full history

    Static has faced some of the most merciless and deadly villains that both New York City and Dakota City have to offer, but now he finds himself face-to-face with a woman who holds his future in her hands and has the power to destroy it: the school psychologist! In one conversation that covers his new life in NYC and the life he left behind, we'll get new insights into what makes Virgil Hawkins tick. And maybe Virgil hasn't been as careful at hiding his secret identity as he thought.
     
    Note: Apart from Static, all characters tagged appear in flashback only.

For those of you who didn’t care “why no love guys? Why no love?” But with my temporary return (the “nyan” beckons me still) I’ve decided to look at the final issue of the 2011-2012 “new 52” series of “Static Shock”.In my usual review style...
