Oh wow...

Got The Comics Journal (the oldskool print magazine version) #286 today for the gorgeous Otto Soglow reprints, but I got stuck on this cover image that's included in the Gail Simone interview instead: Static (later Static Shock, as I would know him on the crappy '90s TV show) #1, by John Paul Leon and Steve Mitchell. If there's ever been a cooler or more savagely modern superhero-costume design I haven't seen it. Look at that!



Making comics with that character out of that costume (as they're going to be doing again this month) is simply a fool's game.

I guess it's a symptom of the continually disproven -and yet still persistent- theory that if you change your character into a version closer to the one presented in a different medium, fans from said medium will try the comic.

Damn, mainstream comics are an industry virtually grounded on inferiority complexes.
