I love your smile but hate this picture. Don’t know why this gauzy filter kicked in, but these are the only pictures of a historic meeting. That’s Halle Berry (Storm) and Djimon Honsou (The Black Panther), together at last!
You might be wondering why I was with Halle, Djimon and the Russo Brothers (makers of the amazing Captain America: The Winter Soldier) but I’m not talking.

It seems Warner Bros. will not rest until every DC superhero has his or her own live-action adaptation. Not that we’re complaining. The latest comic book project announced by the studio is Static Shock, a live-action series to be produced by Warner Bros.’ new digital division Blue Ribbon Content.
At the center of the story is Virgil Ovid Hawkins a.k.a. Static, a young black geek with electromagnetic superpowers. Django Unchained producer Reginald Hudlin will executive produce. Hit the jump for details on the new Static Shock series.
THR has the full writeup of Blue Ribbon Content’s upcoming programming slate. Here’s the rundown of the Static Shock series:
Writer/producer/director Reginald Hudlin (Best Picture Oscar nominee for producing Django Unchained) leads the creative team behind a live-action adaptation of Static Shock, featuring the African-American super hero Static, aka Virgil Ovid Hawkins. Static Shock is based on the Static comic co-created by the late Dwayne McDuffie with co-writer Robert L. Washington III and artist John Paul Leon, which was originally published by the DC Comics imprint Milestone Comics and, later, by DC Comics. Milestone Media co-founder/comic book artist/TV producer Denys Cowan (the original Static Shock animated series) is collaborating with Hudlin on the new Static Shock.
Way back in the Analog Age my first professional pencilling assignment was a pinup of (incredibly inked by Jimmy Palmiotti! Boy did I hit the lotto) With the news in that Static is getting a show, I couldn’t help but draw Static as I’d imagine him reacting to the news, for old times celebration sake. Congrats Everyone.
