I can't help but think conspiracy. Why would you hire the dude that worked closely with the creator but couple him with two others that not only don't know that character but have more authority? Rozum said most of his ideas were shot down and he felt the project became substandard. Almost as if it was meant to be a kamikaze. Reboot DC, put a couple of nonwhite books so no one says they're racist and then cancel them shortly later on as if to say, "See? We tried but nonwhite books don't sell".

@DaRunningMan I hear you.

This kinda shit was my reason for pointing out the racism in comics aimed at the brown skinned characters.

This dude isn't real, and they served him up a nice batch of "ROADBLOCK" just like he was a real black man before the civil rights movement.

It's a shame.

And people need to take notice. This is a constantly occuring pattern. So many folks think it's just aimless talk...but here's a perfect example.

We gotta stop this shit.

Static was and still is a corny ass hero, i see enough of his "twins" anyway all over america, a bunch of fucking dread heads lol.

[STRYDENT]

@JayTekken1 LOL!!!

REALLY?

The dreads don't define the character brother!

He"s actually one of the only black characters that doesn't really fall into any stereotype except "everyman".

You should read the older milestone issues.

one of the big reason that static shock was canned was 1. the creative team didn't agree with each other at all one wanted fast(McDaniel) and the other wanted a build up(Rozum). 2nd it wasn't promoted properly. and 3rd and the most important the story wasn't solid in my reviews i complain about "sister clones" i read the Static comics and seen the show. strangely i enjoyed the new comic till the 3rd issue but overall static shock had way too much action with less story and character development.

@STRYDENT what about blade and green lantern, actually more so what about blade? They say he didn't get his respect but i think he did, he was on another level compared to this guy, plus he was more of a vigilante like batman just in a vampire universe.

[STRYDENT]

@heartbirthbysleep OH YEAH! Definitely! I mostly read Swamp thing. I loved how deep his stories were. The fact that he was like an Earth-spirit shaman hybrid of sorts was awesome!

I only read a few books that guest starred Animal man. But I've heard his book was cool.

@heartbirthbysleep I hear you. I had hopes of seeing Icon and Rocket in this series, but we'll never know what could've been.
