Static’s ‘New Titans’ #38 and ‘The Dakota Incident’ return to print
Static’s return to the DC Universe is proving popular, as DC has announced new printings for two recent comics spotlighting Virgil Hawkins.
New Titans #38 and New History of the DC Universe: The Dakota Incident have both sold out and will return to comic shops with new logo treatments, cover designs, and open-to-order variant covers.
The Dakota Incident helped set the stage for Static’s latest chapter in the DC Universe, while New Titans #38 brought Virgil into the newest Titans lineup. The latter saw Jon Kent invite Static to Mount Titans and marked a significant return to superhero action for the character. As we noted in our review, the issue also revealed new details about Static’s electromagnetic powers while establishing his place within the team’s increasingly complicated dynamic.
Static’s resurgence won’t stop there. DC has also announced an upcoming Static ongoing series from Cody Ziglar and Diego Olortegui, further expanding Virgil’s presence in the DC Universe.
Both New Titans #38 and New History of the DC Universe: The Dakota Incident return to comic shops on October 14, 2026.
