Previously announced to release in celebration of Black History Month, Milestone Media’s special anthology issue has been postponed for June. The delayed comic features Milestone heroes includingIcon, Rocket, Static, and Hardware alongside historical heroes such as Hannibal, Queen of Sheba, Alexande Dumas, and Eugene Bullard.
Last year, Milestone returned to DC Comics with three ongoing titles to reboot the imprint’s most popular superheroes, including Static, Hardware, Icon, and Rocket.

However, the heroes will soon appear in the same issue with the upcoming anthology issue.
