As you may have heard, Warner Bros has announced an upcoming live action “Static Shock” series. As longtime fans of the late Dwayne McDuffie’s writing and characters, this is overwhelmingly exciting news. The first thought on my mind is who will be our new Virgil Hawkins.
I’m rooting for Tony Ray. I hope he can at least get an audition. Tony is an actor and costumer, and an avid Static fan for many years. Playing Static in this series is his dream. He would bring a love of the work and a dedication to the role that few could match. If you’d like to see him get a shot, feel free to share these images with the tag #TonyRayIsStatic on any social media site you like. It’s early days and anything is possible, so we’re gonna dream big.

We should see all the things that make people and the world different and not pretend that we are colorblind or that one story is enough to represent a whole group of people.
This show was super important.
Sharing this unused Static Shock cover again because not enough people have seen it. It was my favorite work-for-hire cover we did in 2011. Khary Randolph did a great job finishing up the covers before the series got cancelled. I especially love the series finale cover.
GORGEOUS!
