Static will officially join the team in New Titans #38, scheduled for release on August 19, 2026. This addition comes at a pivotal time as the team embarks on its inaugural mission to the Amazon rainforest. The current roster includes notable characters such as Nightwing, Terra, Batgirl (Stephanie Brown), and Wonder Girl (Yara Flor).
Previously, Static has made appearances in various DC projects including a crossover in Batman Beyond and the Dakota Incident one-shot. His recent resurgence has been described by Dakota co-writer Joseph P. Illidge as “Act Two” of his comeback, indicating a longer-term plan for the character. Fans of Static have experienced similar reboots in the past, making the future uncertain.
To set the stage for Static's role, a four-page prelude will be included in New Titans #37, which will be released in July. With this latest initiative, DC aims to ensure that Virgil Hawkins has a lasting presence in the comics.
