2021-06-06 Static, Fire Power, Iron Fist: Heart of the Dragon, and more

The Comics Syllabus continues its return with…

A new segment called “The Infinite Unlimited,” exploring comics available on subscription apps like DC Universe Infinite and Marvel Unlimited, beginning with the 1993 “Static” series that was part of the original Milestone Comics line. Co-written initially by Milestone founders Dwayne McDuffie and Robert L. Washington III, Static is probably Milestone’s most well known character… and a new series starring Static leads off Milestone’s revival later this month.

But the original 90s Milestone series have become available for the first time digitally on DC Universe Infinite, and @TwoPlai digs into the early issues of “Static,” which feature pencils by none other than John Paul Leon, legendary artist who we recently lost to cancer.

Then, at (15:48) in “PolyBagged,” our segment covering new comics in shops this past week, we discuss:

“Fire Power” #12 (Image)

“Iron Fist: Heart of the Dragon” #6 (Marvel)

“Dead Dog’s Bite” #4 (Dark Horse)

“Nocterra” #4 (Image)

…along with a list of honorable mentions for this week.
