I'd hope they do this like "Earth 2" - just one book, with the various characters appearing, at least until sales indicate a spinoff is merited.

DC Won CC! I'm literally crying! I'm full of tears. Welcome back Static! Dwayne, YOUR LEGACY LIVES ON.

I've always liked the idea of Static as a DC hero. I hope that short time that they lost him helps them appreciate the character more and utilize him.

YYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Earth-M!!! Yes! Yes! Yes! This is amazing! I was hoping for them to have their own universe again. Dakota is back! Can't wait to see some artwork now.

Loving everything about the Earth M idea, but can we still have a static in the dcu?

[Immortal Weapon]

I don't like the idea of Johns and Hudlin working on the Milestone characters.

i'm taking a "wait and see" attitude. 100% of DC's involvement with MILESTONE, post Dwayne's death, has been shitty and, indeed, DC editorial and "Creative" directors have pretty much shat on every iteration of Milestone that wasn't under Dwayne's DIRECT control.

Wait and see.

Johns being involved doesn't make me happy.

Forgive my ignorance on Milestone, but when they keep mentioning diversity, do they mean diversity or just black diversity? The reason I ask is that most (if not all) of the Milestone characters are black, as well as the creators behind those characters. Am I wrong about that, please correct me.

If that is true, I think it is disingenuous to say Milestone has been about diversity for diversity sake, but rather the introduction of black characters and black creators into comics. That's fine if that is the goal of Milestone, but just say that. If the goal of Milestone was truly diversity, I would see major Asian characters with Asian creators, gay characters and gay creators, female characters with female creators. I don't see that, so I think Milestone claiming their goal is diversity is not really true.

Lol Milestone wasnt just Black Character sry that is absurd. Static being their most well known character and being Black doesnt mean they had no Asian or Women or Gay Characters. Shows u dont know jack s*** about what ur talking about.

In the 90's, they introduced black, Hispanic, Asian, middle eastern and gay characters. As well as good old Caucasians.

I am talking about major characters. I see that Xombi is Korean, but their 3 major characters - Icon, Hardware, and Static Shock are all black males. Women don't seem to be represented all that well.

Still have lots of racial discrimination in america as seen in the police killings and lack of indictments so I hope milestone comics will sell well.
