Batman/Static: Beyond #6 Preview

 


Static is on the run from Cadmus agents who blame him for the global blackout. But even as he races to find Melvin, he disagrees with Batman. Melvin didn't ask for his new superpowers.

But can Static convince Melvin to forgive the society that turned him into something he hates, when even his parents were complicit in his transformation? And with the way intergalactic events are shaping up, does Static's determination to protect a frightened and angry teenager from himself even matter?
