Static Co-Creator Denys Cowan Teases the Return of Milestone
In an exclusive interview with CBR, Denys Cowan -- the co-creator of Static -- teased the possible return of the fan-favorite Milestone Comics.
For years, the founders of Milestone Media have hinted at the possible return of Milestone Comics. Now, Milestone co-founder Denys Cowan once again teased the resurgence of the Static-associated imprint.
In an interview with CBR, Cowan was asked about talks of the revival, to which he said, "As you know, we were involved in a lawsuit that everyone read about in the papers, if people care to read about that kind of stuff. Not everything that was printed was true, but there was still a situation. Well, that situation has been resolved to all parties' satisfaction. So we're all happy and the person that had an issue with us is happy. We're all together; we're all friends; we're all good. And DC and Milestone were going forward with their plans after a very long delay and, just when we were starting to pick up everything again, is when the pandemic hit."
"But that hasn't really stopped work from progressing," he continued. "I can't say anything really big right now, some of the stuff had already been announced a while ago, and we're still proceeding with a lot of those things. There's going to be some new things that are going to be announced. But for all people who are thinking about Milestone, we thank you for your continued patience. There will be stuff to see and there will be stuff to see relatively soon. And hopefully, people will be back on the Milestone bandwagon, and it'll be good because I think that now, it's needed more than ever."
The last time there was serious talk of a Milestone revival was in 2017 as Cowan, Reginald Hudlin and DC Publisher Jim Lee announced the return of the imprint's characters to the DC Universe at the New York Comic Con.
