Milestone relaunch - Earth-M

Post by leonmallett »

It looks like the relaunch may finally be happening:
Last fall, DC Comics announced that the Milestone imprint would relaunch as "Earth-M" beginning with four titles including Static Shock sometime this spring. Now, it sounds like Static Shock will be returning this October instead.

Series artist Kyle Baker tweeted this schedule update earlier this month in response to a question from a fan about when they could expect the hero's return. In addition to a revised date of October, Baker also said that his schedule from DC had changed as well, going from monthly to bi-monthly instead, though DC and Milestone have not confirmed this information.

Kind of wish they had gone with the other plan of release and did them full graphic novel like the Earth-One line.

I hadn't heard that but would have liked that approach.

I honestly don’t know why anyone puts out monthlies anymore for anything beyond the top 50 sellers or so. I know it’s a cash grab, but low sales reduces buzz, which leads to lower demand for trades. Just put out a good graphic novel instead.

I agree with you. It's interesting because my kids have very little interest in monthly floppies but will devour TPBs and graphic novels. :twocents:

If I remember right both Geoff Johns and Jim Lee were supposed to be apart of it but the constant delays led to where we are now.

When someone, either DC or Milestone, stops screwing McDuffie's Estate around.

I spoke (briefly) with Denys Cowan last night at a convention and he said books will start coming out in February.
