Sorry , Secret Wars . In the inarguably salutary comic news of the calendar week , original co - newspaper publisher Derek Dingle , along with writer / producer Reggie Hudlin and artist Denys Cowyn , is uprise the late Dwayne McDuffie ’s Milestone Media , well known as the household of beloved character Static Shock .
Most amusing fan know McDuffie ’s name , and how he cash in one’s chips in 2011 at only historic period 49 . Before his dying , he was a prolific author of comics and animation ( he write many a great DCAU episode ) but also form Milestone with Dingle in an attack to bring multifariousness to superhero comics . He create or helped create fighter like Static , Hardware and more , and Milestone was absolutely the preeminent black comics company before it close down in 1997 .
fit in to the Washington Post , Dingle , Hudlin and Cowyn have bring back Milestone Media as a way to honour McDuffie , as well as continue his work . But they want to do far more than just jog out the publisher ’s classic characters .
Yet Cowan says that putting a theatrical role of color in a well - screw , previously white mantle does n’t hold the same impact as creating a new wave of hero for an ever - diverse readership and newfangled coevals of fans .
“ There are all variety of challenge that are facing mass of color — that part has n’t changed , ” Cowan differentiate The Post ’s Comic Riffs . “ What has modify is , there are a lot more characters of people of colour in comics . What we find is now , Milestone is necessary because of the types of characters that we do , and the vantage point that we come from . ”
There ’s no set date for Milestone ’s formally return to risible stores , but Dingle and the others hope to have some news for this yr ’s Comic - Con . If you have the time , I highly recommend you read the Post articleabout the new Milestone and Dwayne McDuffie ’s legacy — and why the publishing house ’s return is such good news indeed .
