DC don't like strong black characters they're probably gonna do it for a while then cancel it too keep in line with DC future state. I hope they prove me wrong though
While I haven’t read the new Static origin, I don’t think it’s a good idea to diss his original origin. It was a urban twist on classic comic origins and while Virgil may have originally attended a gang fight with the intent of hurting someone, he chose to rise above his feelings of anger/desire for revenge and IMO - that’s one of the first examples of him being the hero he eventually becomes. It’s not so much about event but what he did did at the event.
I’m excited about the return of Milestone comics and I definitely have it on my radar to get Static, Icon, and Hardware comics and figures and merch. Icon in particular is an incredibly important character with Black Panther level potential for impact. I hope they find a way to get Priest & Mark Bright working together as well as Coates and Brian Stelfreeze.
I'm glad their first three series are actually my favorite Milestone characters. The one they didn't include is the one Blerd said was problematic. The Blood Syndicate. And i understand... gang violence is a touchy subject. But if you can make shows like Breaking Bad, and literally any of these shows nowadays where you see bad people "winning", you can so the Blood Syndicate.
I think the idea of a gang gaining superpowers and not just turning into 2 dimensional villains could make for a good story. Blood Syndicate would offer plenty of social commentary. Along with heroes that have flaws and have to do a lot of work to make up for the wrong they've done in the past.
Just picked up the Milestone issue today. Can't wait to dive into it, along with Icon & Rocket and ofcourse Static respectively. Definitely have my eyes and ears open to those omnibuses.
Thanks Ernie for this update on MILESTONE,been wondering when tha comics are due.Will MOST definitely buy tha new stuff and tha old,hope they do a few Milestone cartoons with their characters.Haven't bought new main stream comics since 2007 or been to a comic store but this news does put a smile on my FACE.Dread it,run from it but new material from MILESTONE MEDIA will arrive.PEACE.
I honestly just started reading the og milestone comics on the dc comics app and I'm honestly surprised I mean I know static and the likes dealing with racism was nothing new but the writers do NOT shy away from the serious subject and Virgil OG Virgil is not as "good" (superman good) as you think if you want young justice or the SS show he is more arrogant still more seemingly upset with the world at least at first but it does keep the humor and I LOVE his og costume with the baggy orange jacket and the baseball cap? Really simple and yet so perfect and I LOVE the frank Miller Mike mignola style artwork I've always loved different art styles in comics currently to be fair static is all I'm reading so far but I'm looking forward to start hardware for damn sure so...basically in the end I LOVE early milestone it's fun funny serious and it feels like the cool kid in high school if that makes sense
I watched this like an hour ago. I didn't want to ask and sound ignorant but what is woke? I swear i hear it by different people in different context. What you said sounds reflective of reality. That sounds grounded, makes sense. All fair good there. Hippy dippy people say it in nonsense ways. Is there an actual standard definition or is it just some ambiguous word assigned various meanings by whoever is using it? I trust you respect you. Im asking in earnest.
Why are they touching origins? There was literally no need. Spider-Man’s origin is iconic and the same for decades the same could’ve just been done for Static instead we got a cheap BLM origin. *sighs*
i think that Milestone and D.C. (both sides) need to intergrate their charactewrs from both sides far more often than before so all D.C. fans will see the Milestone Characters in major stories and D.C. Comic characters in major Milestone Comics. In the first few years this is very vital to have a descent percentage of stories with intergrated characters.
"Doubling down into woke comics" 3 months later "Racists won't buy these comics calling all white people evil so milestone fails again." Way to kill the buzz I had over new static.
Static's origin being changed is fine with me, but PLEASE leave Icon as a conservative/republican. Too many people in america are under the assumption that minorities(black people in particular) are some sort of "hive mind" that are all liberals and all think the same. Whether we agree with the viewpoints or not, its nice to see things from another perspective.
I personally think that Icon's personality should be completely reimagined. Maybe his beliefs lie somewhere in the middle of liberalism and conservatism. I don't wanna read a 2021 clone of the 1993 Icon
@@scinnyc His personality fine but why have him be a centrist? I say they go all the way with it. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was about a rich, conservative black family, and its probably the greatest sitcom ever. If it worked then, it can definitely work now.
I'm not sure if I want Icon as a "Republican" since this is not the same Republican party from the 90s given that they're now an openly white supremacist party. You can have Icon as a conservative democrat (Obama was one) but I think it's best for Icon to keep his conservative values but don't have him align with a party.
I just hope that Milestone characters make a return and stays!
Woooord!

@@Aries_5916 you ain’t never lied
The Blood Syndicate was a fantastic comic book. Way ahead of it's time for some of the content and stories they shared
I just did my high school senior project on black representations in comics and this is coming out now I can’t wait.
Bring back Static and his whole gallery of characters please.
They are doing it, so far
THEY WILL 100%
They have a lot of boxes to check like the Black Panther movie. We have more than enough black talent to check those boxes. I’m for it.
Iam fine with them not cross covering with Batman or superman at the moment. It's cool that there doing there own thing as it should be.

Milestone could be a big as the MCU if they dive into movies and television but especially television
I am stoked! The Milestone Media could be huge . Milestone Comics was ahead of its time.
All this "blackness" is beautiful. Keep it coming bruh.👍
An icon traditional animated series would be awesome.
Here is hoping that we actually get some good figures and statues of the characters.
Yep. I'd love an Icon figure in his updated costume
...what about the'Blood Syndicate'?!?

Hopefully it doesn't flop like the New 52
Thank you my brother for the good news
I was one of the people that didn’t care for the new change to the origin😂but I’m very much open to changes and will still read them regardless🤷🏿♂️
I always wanted to see a reimagined Dakotaverse where things were flipped and Black folks were in control
B
No
I saw Static and got super excited!!!!

Milestone Media! So awesome.
Looking forward to buying all of them. Wonder if they will have any Milestone character NFTs?
Well marvel/dc my money is now accounted for, I'm buying everything
Man I'm hoping DC doesn't play us like they did with Wildstorm. I'm here for all of this!
I am so ready 😁
Cant wait for Icon and Static .... But we need live action productions
A static movie is in the works I believe
I picked up a copy of Milestone Returns Zero on my pull list....haven't read it yet but it is in the stack.....
And where is Malibu Comics in all this?! Sitting on a shelf in Mickey's house - that's where.
😂😂😅😅😓😂😅😓😂
This is the best news for MM!
I haven’t read much of Milestone but I’m hyped for the relaunch I’m definitely going to be reading!

I loved Milestone and I had a lot of those first editions when they came out!
Oh shit Ernie got a new opening
Its looking dope af!
They need to ask dc to give them the black characters from dc comics because dc not using them
This all sounds amazing
BLOOD SYNDICATE!!!!!!!!!!!
Love to see them go Comics and Anime.
I liked the first run that Milestone had, but I was more partial to the Tribe title that Image Comics produced...
They should have worked with sold to DC this again, it would have launched on time in February of 5 years like years ago.
DC introduced me to icon but static stands alone.
Love this video! I have those milestone trading cards too!!
I'm really excited for Milestone return, can't wait for Static Shock
(btw I want Static Shock in Injustice 3)
I still have the original Milestone trading cards.
I cant wait!
I’m pretty sure Batman is gonna end up popping up on milestones
Love this video. I hope they create new characters
BRING BACK BLOOD SYNDICATE!!!!!!!!!!!
How about a Millstone universe movie. We do not need another Superman Movie.
F@ck another Superman retelling. I would rather see Icon and Rocket.

Hell no
No; integration dilutes the non-DC “Earth One” characters.

@@4eyes2killingyou Exactly. Ever since Trump's administration the Republican paradigm has been redefined to be much more blatantly racist
@@scinnyc yep. Plus Icon doesn't have to be a republican to be a conservative either
Awful just awful. Static was the worst one out of the bunch. Very disappointed in this book.
Superheroes are supposed to feel Super. SJW writing will ruin it.
