‚Batman/Static Beyond‘ will see io9 alum Evan Narcisse build on Terry and Virgil’s relationship together, alongside artist Nikolas Draper-Ivey.
Terry McGinnis and Virgil Hawkins have a long history together, ever since the classic Batman Beyond/Static Shock crossover episode “Future Shock,” all the way up to their team-up in the Milestone Comics 30th anniversary one-shot a few years ago. Now, the dynamic duo are back with an all-new comic series, with the help of a familiar face to longtime io9 readers.
Today DC Comics officially lifted the lid on Batman/Static Beyond, a new six-issue miniseries coming to its Elseworlds comics imprint. Featuring art from Nikolas Draper-Ivey, who wrote and illustrated Terry and Virgil’s team-up in “Static Beyond” for the aforementioned Milestone 30th Anniversary Special in 2023, the new series will be penned by Evan Narcisse—writer behind Rise of the Black Panther, Waller vs. Wildstorm (alongside Spencer Ackerman), and more, and of course, a comics journalist who previously worked at both Kotaku and io9!
“I loved the dynamic Nik set up between Static and Batman in the Milestone 30th Anniversary Special where these characters first teamed up with each other,” Narcisse said in a press release.
