A return to the Beyond Universe that will send a shock to your system, in a long-awaited team-up from Evan Narcisse (Rise of the Black Panther), Nikolas Draper-Ivey (Static: Shadows of Dakota), and Miguel Mendonça (Batman and Robin)!

In the not-so-distant future, young hero Terry McGinnis patrols the neon-lit streets of Neo-Gotham as Batman Beyond. Meanwhile, Virgil Hawkins—better known as Static—forges a new technological revolution in Dakota City with his groundbreaking invention, the Q-Wave Energy Grid, promising clean power for all.

Together, and alongside the Justice League Beyond, the heroes are united in anticipation of Earth’s long-awaited induction into the interplanetary alliance known as the Cooperative. Everything seems to be going smoothly…until the menacing new villain Shutdown arrives on the scene, creating chaos and putting the planet’s future at risk.

At the center of all this mayhem is the unlikely but dynamic duo of Static and Batman Beyond, who must set aside their differences and work together to save the world before it’s too late!
