A teen superhero originally from the Milestone Universe tries to get over a breakup and finds himself having an all-night adventure.Virgil Hawkins, aka Static, discovers his heroics do not endear him to his ladylove, Daisy. He's just about to invite her to a big music festival when she breaks up with him, leaving him feeling distraught. It's not as if it was his choice to become a Bang Baby but rather a side effect of being caught in an overly aggressive response to a demonstration. Virgil's circle of friends includes others with unusual gifts as well. His best friend, Rich, encourages him to come with him to the festival and forget his problems for one night, but when Virgil gets there and spots Daisy with a new guy, Static's powers accidentally disrupt the performance. His attempt to salvage the night results in more disaster and mayhem as Static and friends clash with determined villains, while Static's obsession with his breakup leads him to make bad decisions. The action in this page-turning graphic novel is nonstop. Giles brings his trademark strong storytelling skills and humor to this version of the character, and African American Virgil displays an engaging personality as he embraces his superhero tasks. Each member of his diverse set of friends brings unique qualities to the tale as well. The lively, expressive illustrations skillfully match the exciting storyline.A winning combination of characters, plot, and images. (Graphic adventure. 13-17)

VIRGIL (aka STATIC) can do amazing things with his vast array of electrical abilities, but instantly mending a broken heart isn’t in his skill set.

Virgil Hawkins has just gone through a bad break up. He can’t get over his ex, so his best friend Richie has an idea for how to distract him: attend a music festival in their city of Dakota. But wouldn’t you know it—his ex is in attendance. And that’s just the beginning of his troubles.
 
A series of encounters and events leads to an all-night adventure involving super villains, a diner, a reluctant rapper, and a size-changing kleptomaniac, as well as Virgil’s frequent bad decision making. But in the end, with the help of his friends, Virgil will find he can move on from a broken heart.
