Let's Talk About the Return of Static Shock's Ebon in Static: Shadows of Dakota #1

[@fauxmintdissident]

I like how Ebon and Rubberband Man had the ‘rows drawn in their costumes

[@lamarledennis3220]

the OG OF black airforce energy

[@naturalice79]

I thought E-Bon was for Ebony because of his shadow power.

[@marktheshark7588]

I thought the same as well.

[@G11366]

Same

[@TheRealArrendondo]

i was rushing to the comment section to say the same thing

[@raymondfisheriii791]

Agreed

[@travisasselta9140]

Same.

[@BlackRob1955]

I thought Ebon was short for Ebony like mean black like the magazine.

[@NerdAffiliated]

We need a new Static series, ASAP! Great video, as always!

[@marktheshark7588]

Agreed.Also an Icon and Rocket series.

[@StackbabyAres]

So I recently started rewatching static to see how well it held up against time and honestly it’s still pretty good and a reminder of what the world was like when I was growin up. You should really watch it there’s a lot of substance in the side plots as well as the main plot

[@onyx081]

I don''t know if you actually read comments or not, but this is the second time I've heard you say that "Ebon" is short for "ebonics" and I need you to stop. Ebon is NOT short for Ebonics. That doesn't even make any sense in terms of his powers. Ebon literally means 'dark brown or black; ebony.'

[@ampocalypsew3883]

Blerd thank you for keeping static updated for us, keep up the good work

[@craigford33]

I cannot wait to grab this tomorrow

[@devaughnjohnson]

To be fair how should Ebon treat the killers hunting bang babies like himself he doesn’t know what happened to his brother and given his background what he’s doing makes sense

[@marktheshark7588]

I haven't read the new Static Shock comic reboot.But after watching your video Blerd.I'll definitely check it out.

[@AvengCalifornication]

Hell yeah we gotta promo this book, it was a blast and I need more Milestone

[@NerdettesNewsStand]

Read this last night, really impressed. I just hope they can land it.

[@vincentfranklin17]

Got my copy today! Good stuff!

[@rickycruse56]

I like the merger of the original Static costume when Miles was before DC and the merger form similar to the TV series & DC reboot.

[@damianstarks3338]

I like static one of my favorite black superheroes from my childhood. Perfect comparison at 4:07 cloak is a cool black superhero in marvel comics I love his relationship with dagger.

[@soulemful]

Ebon is short for ebony... because of his powers....

[@bmoretone]

I just bought a variant of this issue. It looks just like the original Static #1 and is bagged. Looks so dope.

[@natecody3305]

I am absolutely speeding to the comic shop this weekend.

[@garytucker3563]

E Bon is here!!!! YYYEESSS!!! #Blkvillains With both E Bon AND Holocaust around, Dakota is gonna get that respect as far as being on the critical hero watch from even the bigs of DCU!!

[@PureMoss]

Ain't Holocaust dead? They killed him at the end of Blood Syndicate

[@garytucker3563]

@@PureMoss Yeah, I believe you are referring to the original story arc, but since then he has been brought back thru origin revisions.

[@hordakprime6172]

Really love Ebon hope he makes an impact in the DC universe guy like him could be up there with Lex and Joker.

[@lilbill15]

I still hear the actors voice when I see ebon

[@metaloverload7374]

Ebon the name comes from the word Ebony which means black. Stemming from his shadow power.

[@whipedge]

Yeah blerd a bit off on that take....I thought the name was a give away...if it was ebonics his powers would have been sound based

[@ginofrancejr555]

I like this issue overall I like ebon's milestone comics debut I'm excited how this series continues. I hope we see rubber band man and a ebon hot streak alliance

[@thetru-drushow8412]

I remember his he's the antagonist from Daddys little Girls by Tyler Perry.

[@craigford33]

You missed out. Show is top tier

[@evanskeith96]

I think his first full appearance will be in issue 2 or 3 ,, I'll be ordering 4 copies

[@jackieanderson9408]

I loved the animated series.💪

[@johnwright9049]

I really like how Milestone gave Ebon the Harley Quinn intro into the comics from the animated series. I hope he gets better character growth.

[@loareenmarlow7411]

When I finished static #6 I was so angry knowing who was coming to volume 2

[@wa-bu3ke]

y

[@Geronimo904]

Hearing Blerd call him E-Bon hit like hearing your name on those early cave roll calls😅😂🖤...

[@wagnercolbert737]

I'm here. I'm ready...

[@dramonmaster222]

Yes! Bring on the Darkness.

[@kbyooybk2319]

He makes a great villain. I'd rather read about super villains than the superheroes.

[@DaellusKnights]

"ebon" - pronounced eh-bun is an really old word that literally just means "black"... That's why they wanted to call that other thing ebonics. A play on ebon and phonics, meaning "black speak"

[@Bob78550]

I don't mean to bother you. But will you be reviewing Icon/Hardware? I understand if your not miuch of an Icon guy. But he's one of my favorite characters and would like to get your opinion on that book when it comes out.

[@sleeperdart]

I was deadass scared of ebon as a kid until I realized static can just easily blast him away

[@wa-bu3ke]

Yeah a bad power matchup. It would have me rooting for Ebon

[@Don_O.]

Love E-bon..his powers have endless possibilities

[@nigeltrotter2886]

2:46- He's a teenager!!!! Wow!!!

[@nigeltrotter2886]

Wow, I couldn't help but read the title in Gary Anthony Sturgis' voice. Dakota is about to get wrecked.

[@michaelnally2841]

I honestly didn’t know Ebon was made specifically made for the tv show given he was basically his arch enemy

[@JohnDoe-xf9ly]

I loved ebon in the cartoon Him and hotstreak still to this day are my favourite villians of all time in superhero tv shows I was very sad to hear he was not a priginale from the comics but also even more angry then sad to hear that he was going to be in the comics but the bs BLM woke leftiat comics The characther deserves so much better

[@robmoore6802]

I know static shock first from the animated series and then when he joined Tim Drake teen Titans

[@RavenCoyote]

he does love his brother

[@MikeTheRadBike]

Is Gear in the comics as well?

[@matthewschwartz6607]

Is Static Shock the old Milestone Dwayne Mcduffie series ?

[@jmb72390]

I can't wait till they introduce his brother Alan Evans AKA rubber Band man

[@FrederickAmadi]

F-F-Fifty issues?!! 50?! You want FIFTY issues of static?! Ohhhhhhh momma!

[@NigelByrd]

Gotta THE COMIC ASAP ROCKY

[@dissonanceparadiddle]

I'm so happy!!!

[@maxcastro8487]

Remix and continue static shock cartoon. Dude, so many people would learn something in society.

[@jackieanderson9408]

Dope AF 😎

[@dwightnorton3398]

Super Enemy

[@primatesimia720]

Lets be honest, if anyone can give a villain a convincing redemptive story arc, its Vida Ayala.

[@lunchize]

👏👏

[@LJ-SYLKI]

Start the hashtags #50issuesofstatic

[@craigadams3639]

Just make a movie already lol

[@touremenace10420]

Ebon embodied the image of the average black bully

[@markstriker925]

He is that one meta human human dude from the hood lol. I bet every hood in DC or Marvel have a meta human or mutant. 🤣🤣

[@killkweezy]

The drawing is too ugly for me, but glad static is back

[@notfromchicago]

Your voice does not match - still enjoyed the video.
