In a story set before the events of Static: Shadows of Dakota, the Static Shock animated series fan-favorite African superhero Anansi pays a visit to Dakota City, investigating a supernatural disturbance...but he's going to need Static's help to explore the occult side of the Milestone Universe!
With this only being a standard-sized one-shot, there isn't too much time for the creative team to really develop Anansi, but mystery has always been part of his character. Would love to see more of him. Read Full Review
Those enjoyed the Static Shock animated series, and in particular the episodes, Static in Africa and Out of Africa will definitely enjoy Static Team-Up: Anansi #1. The characters are depicted true to form, as they are in the show. While this comic isnt canon with the show, it is easy for readers to tell that a lot of inspiration has been taken from it. It is an exciting story that blends superheroes and fantasy with some history and folklore, to not only be an entertaining read, but an educational one as well. Read Full Review
The hero of Dakota is out of his element, but the story and his guest star are delightful, and the resolution satisfying. Read Full Review
Static Team-Up: Anansi #1 offers a breezy, one-off tale that manages to continue the mix of animated and comic book influence on the new Milestone universe. If this continues to be a thing, then I'm all for it once again, we're getting the best of both worlds. Read Full Review
A solid superhero comic that hopefully helps lead to an expansion of the Milestone universe. I'd like to see Anansi make more appearances in the future. Read Full Review
