Static, Icon, Xombi and Blood Syndicate were all really good books.The majority of those Milestone books were mediocre tbh
Actually they are still partnered with DC. There was an official announcement last July from DC about them working with Reginald Hudlin and Milestone Media founder Denys Cowan to publish Milestone comics. They even came up with an Earth in the Dc Multiverse where the Milestone characters will reside called "Earth M"Static (or any Milestone character for that matter) doesn't count for DC unless you're strictly talking about animation. Comics wise it's all Milestone. When DC did bring in Milestone they didn't do hardly anything with them and the way they handled the one static solo in the new 52 was disgraceful (research it). Milestone has since taken the characters back and restarted the comic line and universe away from DC and will be relaunching them there.
Reggie Hudlin and Denys Cowan Team Up With Jim Lee and Geoff Johns to Bring A Lineup of Culturally and Ethnically Diverse Characters Back to DC Universe with Original Graphic Novels, One Shots, and Miniseries
During DC Entertainment’s (DCE) early morning press gathering, DCE Co-Publisher Jim Lee, producer/director Reginald Hudlin and Milestone Media co-founder/artist Denys Cowan (DETECTIVE COMICS) announced the creation of “Earth-M,” which will be home to the “Dakota” universe of characters from 1993’s Milestone Media and a host of all new characters.
For fans, this means the return of favorite Milestone characters like STATIC SHOCK, ICON, ROCKET, HARDWARE and XOMBI, along with new heroes and villains, yet still retaining the same kind of contemporary and socially relevant tone of storytelling that made Milestone such a groundbreaking imprint in the early 90’s.
“We couldn’t be more proud and excited about the opportunity to bring the ‘Dakota’ universe back to DC,” said Lee. “This is a huge step forward for us in bringing readers a more diversified lineup as part of the New DC Universe, and we’re anxiously looking forward to telling new stories that are socially and culturally impactful and representative of the world in which we live."
Arriving as hardcover graphic novels, up to two “Earth-M” titles will be published annually, as well as a yet-to-be-determined number of miniseries and one shots. These books will feature all-star creative talent, including Milestone principals Hudlin and Cowan, as well as DCE top guns Lee and Johns. This agreement also means a revival of Milestone content as collected editions, both in print and digital format.
“Milestone Media was the first company to create a superhero universe full of Black, Latino, Asian, and white superheroes - both gay and straight,” said Hudlin. "Its fan-base was equally diverse. This new relationship will enable us to not only revive classic Milestone characters, but introduce new ones as well. Denys and I have had a great time working with Jim and Geoff as we reinvent the Dakota Universe for the 21st century. We have a lot of innovative ideas – from how the characters are presented to how the books are released – that will excite both new and old fans.”
Original graphic novels, one shots and miniseries are just the first step in an overall Milestone revival, eventually expanding to include action figures and an upcoming STATIC SHOCK digital series.
“Milestone Media has a long tradition of bringing multicultural heroes to life and DC Entertainment has always been an industry leader with their innovative approaches,” said Cowan. “Working with Geoff and Jim has been great and Reggie, Derek [Dingle] and I are thrilled to team up with them to bring the Dakota universe of characters back to the fans.”
DC ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES THE RETURN OF THE MILESTONE UNIVERSE WITH THE CREATION OF ALL-NEW ‘EARTH-M’

They have said they will work with other publishers too but their relationship with DC is still ongoing.

I rather have them neglected then grossly mishandled. Come on, you telling me that having BP lose in the Doom Wars, having Wakanda DESTROYED by Namor, WHILE having him fukk the QUEEN OF WAKANDA WHILE BEING MARRIED TO TCHALLA is good writing!?Just stop
Black Panther and Storm have had better writing over the years than any black DC character if they are mishandled how could you possibly describe te DC characters?
Rhodey may be a supporting character but he was great in Iron Man in the 80's and when he took over Iron Man

Miles Morales may be a legacy character but he's had a book since 2011 unlike any of the DC characters you listed here

You mention Cyborg like he wasn't a background character for 95% of his existence

Black Manta is an Aquaman villain
Amanda Waller is a team character not a lead
Static has been MIA for years
Vixen is a team character not a lead
Black Racer Really?
nikka what?You're talking onscreen only. You can't say your argument is valid. All of Stewart's appearances have been JL/JLU. He didn't have his own cartoon. Static had his own cartoon and Cyborg wasn't even on JLU. Vixen...1 episode? They Superhero movie boom is only just beginning. Marvel was throwing everyone at the screen before DC got off the ground. Kids don't even know who Static is, so there goes his push. Matter of fact, JLU has been off air for a decade, so John Stewart as Green Latern is null and void.
nikka what?![]()
Both of'em ain't sh#t if you ask me.ESPECIALLY on the movie side, but that's because the majority of the geek audience who support this are bigots who have deep hate for Blacks. Probably because some brotha would bully them at recess & take their lunch money as kids. I mean seriously, the hate is REAL!! Y'all should see the intense criticism Luke Cage is getting from these "fanboys" just for that 20 second teaser trailer for his Netflix series. Sayin "He shouldn't have a show" & whatnot.
I would've loved if Dwayne McDuffie was still alive & well so he could pull strings to make a live action universe with Milestone characters.Now, THAT could've changed the game!!

This in bolded especially, the white male nerd community is the most pathetic, insecure, and racist of the overall white male community.
These are the same fanboys who regularly post on *****, reddit, and rule34 sites who bytch about anything black and especially male. But of course when the black female (especially a bw who whites find attractive) is casted along side a wm, then there wont be any hate, or not as much as a black male having a prominent role. Those cacs are REALLY threatened by black male superiority. The hate is ingrained in these cac's minds. ITs really deep-seeded.
How many stand-alone books has Photon hadMarvel EASILY. They actually invested in their heros of color especially their black ones. Not only that, but they have STRONG black heros with GOOD abilities/powers that are not lame or genetic. Monica Rambeau alone I feel is a good black Marvel superhero with extremely powerful powers.
Not only that but Marvel did the impossible and made a successful and iconic black female superhero; Storm, who also has unique and powerful powers.
DC is a disgrace when it comes to POC heros, especially when they acquired Milestone characters and have not done NOTHING repeat NOTHING with them.![]()
Storm is the most iconic black comic book character??
RecieptsYes she IS.
