The Story Of Milestone Comics (Part 2) | Behind The Panel | SYFY WIRE - Розваги
McDuffie IS an ICON. So many of my favorite things were written by his hand. Thanks SYFY WIRE for putting this together. The impact of Milestone Comics is still being felt to day by this black creative.
BTW, y'all should add the link to the McDuffie Fund in the description... Just sayin.

Milestone may of had a short run.But the people that they have touched is endless.
*R.I.P Dwayne McDuffie! He was one of my heroes and very important part of my childhood.*
I know im asking randomly but does anyone know a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the login password. I would love any help you can offer me
@Enrique Benson instablaster :)
I only got to meet Dwayne McDuffie a couple times when I did some freelance for Milestone in the 90's. Ironically I was at Warner Bros Animation at the same time as him, but sadly I never got to work on the same project with him again. It's too bad because even in the brief exchanges I had with him, I liked him a lot. Needless to say, the Monday morning when we found out he passed was a bad one. It could be felt throughout the DC wing of the studio.
Kudos to SyFy for this expose on Milestone!!!
Don't believe the hype
@@MichaelDavismotu you smokin’ rock?
Milestone needs a comeback bigger and blacker!
Facts. They need to do an animated movie
@@terrenceharris-hughes4436 or live action shows!
Yes. Yes indeed
KittyKing98 I appreciate Milestone Comics for what they set out to do, but it’s time for more all black comic book universes, and ones that aren’t tying all the heroes into some social undertone. And heroes that don’t remind Black people that they’re depressed. People say Superman is corny and unrelatable, but they’re missing the point. I forgot who it was that said it, but “Superman doesn’t need to be ‘relatable’, he just has to be inspiring.” He symbolizes hope, Bats symbolizes justice, lantern symbolizes courage, etc.
The heroes have to represent ideas. Milestone had DL superheroes, former slave superheroes, transgender superheroes... like the whole point should be to make the reader aspire to IDEALS through the heroes, and with those IDEALS they tackle the issues-issues which are symbolically illustrated by the particular story that the hero is in at the time. Icon is useless to a black boy if it doesn’t cause him to aspire to greater ideals.
Wise Son’s weakness was alcohol and being a single parent. Let fantasy help black readers ESCAPE through inspiration.
The CW already has Black Lightning so that show would be the PERFECT vehicle to drive the Milestone Universe right in! Or is that too much like right..???
These comics were and are greatly underrated especially Icon. Diversity is always a struggle. These characters were beautifully done and their exploration was inspiring.
Milestone had an full episode on Rob Kirkman’s Secret History of Comics that also dives deep into its history. I love that we are celebrating Milestone and since I’m older now I have a greater appreciation for these characters. I remember when I first saw Icon pop up in Young Justice, I freaked out. The time is now to bring them back to the mainstream!
Milestone returns again on May 25th 2021.
Its crazy yet cool how milestone is still ahead of the comics these days by alot. I wish comixology to have milestones books on their app
Syfy thank you so much for this. I loved milestone as a kid and seeing this brought back such wonderful memories. Still have my Icon #1 framed
How about a mini-documentary on Valiant & Catalyst Prime Universe?
They need to make a comeback
Jeff Johnson they are being blocked by legal issues.
@@KittyKing98 I heard. I spoke with the artists during NYCC and they were 4 issues in before being told to stop writing and drawing them
Jeff Johnson Dang!!
Comeblack is more appropriate.
Static needs to cross over with black lightning on The CW series
Then they'd have to pay royalties & you know how putting your $ where you mouth is- folks get quiet
If that ever happens i need comic book static not that white washed cartoon series flash
@@sethkumar3037 That's true
If you've seen the show, it's heavily inspired by Static. The whole Green Light Babies concept is exactly like the Bang Babies.
Yeah I been saying this too!
RIP Dwayne
Please let it come back. Make an animated movie or series.
thank you for helping to spread this legacy of comics.
I'm glad this was done. I loved the original run it was done during my sophomore year of high school. It was a dream come true. The only nightmare which the series didn't touch on was how hard it was to find these comics. I saw in another doc how DC had to package these titles their bigger known titles to keep certain shops ordering them.
DC could pull a diverse power move and bring some of milestones iconic characters to the big screen wow 😳 that could be huge...
Bruh can you imagine a Static Movie in the vain of Rick Famuyiwa's dope. He would be a great director for it to.
Stanley Bonhomme Bro Static would probably brake the box office just based off attendance records alone place the right actor & script DC would make millions and pull in a bunch of new Fans and old ones alike I’d love to see it tbh
The way DC messed up the DCU, they could reboot by starting with the Big Bang and focusing on the city of Dakota and then expanding into the main DC would be cold blooded!!
@@randomfan791 It would have a Black Panther effect at the box office for DC and Milestone. Especially with the current and poor perception of DC Films right now with the general movie audience. It also helps that alot of people grew up with the static comics and even tv show.
Stanley Bonhomme The DCEU introducing the Dakotaverse would reroute the whole statues-quote of the state of the DC universe with today’s generation could be huge given the technology of today’s world would be epic if done correctly
Great Documentary. I'm not a DC comics reader, but did that Earth-M ever pan out? How about a Behind The Panel story on Valiant Comics? Now, I have to check out the ICON fan-film on youtube. Thanks for that info!
No, it hasn't. Hopefully it will since the legal issues are supposed to be settled now.

NOW PLEASE MRS.MCDUFFLE GIVE US STATIC IN BLACK LIGHTING, I BEG OF YOU!!
Love this. Thank you for posting this.
I LOVE❤️💕💗Milestone Comics And Static Shock And The Great Dwayne McDuffie
Great video(s)! Still have my hardware issues, just great stuff - happy it reached my comic book store here in Italy. 👍🏼
Glad that lawsuit was settled; just a matter of when DC will annouce it coming back. I say at least by SDCC, if not by NYCC at the latest.
People have said that for years. Cheers for hoping & buy the books when released so they have reason to release more. Don't assume others will do it for you. Support what matters to you. If you don't support it it doesn't matter to you. #facts
I thought the annoced it was coming back 3 to 4 yrs back
I love mile Stone
Very interesting info. Thanks y'all. B~)
I ALWAYS EFFFING LOVE❤️💕💗MILESTONE COMICS STATIC SHOCK AND THE GREAT DWAYNE MCDUFFIE FOREVER ♾️!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peace and love milestone
I ALWAYS LOVE❤️💕💗MILESTONE AND STATIC SHOCK AND THE GREAT DWAYNE MCDUFFIE FOREVER ♾️
If DC let milestone go I'm sure marvel would grab those character's in a heartbeat and DC knows it.
Honestly, I wish they had the funding to go indie, like Valiant. There is alot more space for that these days, like Valiant's reintroduction, or smaller successes like Lion Forge and things like Boom and Black Mask. I honestly feel like DC is going to continue getting in the way for these characters like they did back then. Hopefully I'm wrong though.
If milestone and noir caeser comics collaborated, that would be epic
Funny my mom tried to throw away my comics the other day from the 90s. 1st thing I said Was not my Static and my Prime Comic’s My number 1 comic of static has the pic in thumbnail
R.I.Power DM, Revive Earth - M please.
The CW already has Black Lightning so that show would be the PERFECT vehicle to drive the Milestone Universe right in! Or is that too much like right..???
Antonio Vance Comic Illustrator Milestone’s verse is way to big for one TV show. Especially the CW. Let BL have his shine.
MSTU... Milestone...Theatrical...Universe
How bout y'all help McDuffie's family
Groovy Dude McDuffie’s widow is sitting on the rights and wealth of milestones creations, and your saying that his family needs help.
Attention Milestoners: the Dakotaverse returns again on May 25th 2021.
I don’t think it’s the Dakotaverse anymore but now it’s called earth-M
Sy fy espero que tengas en cuenta a las personas de habla hispana.
Super heroooooo Static Shock whoop whoop ❤️
Relax In Paradise Dwyane McDuffie. I still remember when my childhood friend Nathaniel first handed me a copy of Blood Syndicate and Static.
You need to do a mini-doc on Atari.
Espero que tenga a futuro subtítulos en español .
Learn english
A Static Shock live action movie is coming.
i wonder if Milestone 2.0 came with a bible/encyclopedia like the first Milestone because with Earth-M being a new concept i bet the book was a big if not bigger. i'd like to see the meat and bones of Earth-M.
💥 the characters of Zorro and Batman were based on a true Mexican hero called Joaquin Murrieta
So true. One can also argue that Superman was inspired by the two pulp heroes - Doc Savage (1933) (theconversation.com/meet-doc-savage-the-most-famous-superhero-youve-never-heard-of-47745) and Gladiator.(1930) (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladiator_(novel)) . Doc Savage who used science as one of his crimefighting tools, was also described as the "world's greatest detective"...hmm... now who else was given that moniker??? The Shadow who appeared in 1930 and was known to use darkness as a "weapon" and had the ability to "cloud men's minds" also had some influence on Batman.

@@ryanhill8886 dont forget the jhon carter books like the princes of mars.
It'll come back. If Black Lightning & Young Justice are any indication, the Dakotaverse is by no means done.
is static in black lightning? i havent caught up yet.
robinlue2008 No he is not.
@@_Dee2nd 😑😢
It should have mentioned Naomi...mcduffie
Should've mentioned Rocket Racer, Cardiac, Robbie Robertson and The Prowler from The Spider-Man line, Should've mentioned Gateway and Joanna Cargill from the X-Men line, should've mentioned the X-Men and Avengers both being led by black women in the 80s, Amanda Waller and Bronze Tiger in Suicide Squad, there's a lot here that seems to overlook existing representation.
Seeing as Jackson King/ Battalion from StormWatch was going during the same time, would've been good to mention him, as well as the Tangent comics line.
Naomi and Silencer were both recent characters that fit that demo that were solid, would've been a cool mention. As much as I like Milestone getting this documentary, I would love for others to do a more comprehensive take.
Michael Jai White or Terry Crews as Icon???
Or idris elba
Yo DC Icon omnibus?
Dwayne McDuffy died?
Yes.
Actually Dwayne didn’t do Teen Titans
DC SINCE YOU OWN Milestone EITHER BRING OUT SOME BOOKS ASAP, What with 5G & need for "diverse legacy chars" OR RELEASE THE CHARACTER RIGHTS BACK TO OWNERS
Seth Kumar DC doesn’t own Milestone.

robinlue2008 LOL I find Milestone heroes inspiring so Icon is indeed useful. :)
Icon always had greater ideals. Milestone wanted to create action and adventure while showing the black experience. We black People live a different life and culture compare to other races. We tell stories and also tell what we have experienced. Now I agree with some milestone characters being a little too negative. But that’s just the black experience and issues.
Anyone else just don’t like Paul Levitz idk what it is but he rubs me the wrong way when he speaks
Storm is an actual goddess and they still complaint...
mad XIX What are you saying?
So milestone was coming back, but mcduffie widow got greedy??? Smh.... cant be great
They literally said they planned to do the new milestone without even asking her first. She owns most of the properties. How can they make a new milestone run without talking to the owner first? Come on.
