Comicbook.com (10/10)
- ”This is a great return to the Milestone Universe and I hope that every Milestone comic receives the same care and fantastic storytelling as Static: Season One.”
Comics Beat (“BUY”)
- “[Writer Vita] Ayala continues to make me a believer in teen superheroes, as they craft a story with flavorful dialog and upbeat pacing with the plot. Complementing that is the Manga-like style that Cross is known for, blended with [Nikolas] Draper-Ivey’s animation/anime aesthetic, using bold coloring, and gritty texturing the artwork is a kinetic force that works for this book.”
- “This is a great start for the heroes of Dakota and their new 21st century status quo.”
Graphic Policy (8.8/10)
- “Dynamic and crackling with energy.”
- “The comic is fantastic.”
- “Ayala delivers a balance of action of the grounded issues of growing up. It delivers a start in a classic style of superhero stories with a look that’s full of energy.”
- “Static: Season One #1 is a hell of a start that’s well worth checking out and the start of something exciting.”
AiPT Comics (8/10)
- “Static Season One #1 shocks Milestone back to life”
