Milestones in History shines a light on historic Black figures - and some superheroes
DC and Milestone Media will publish the one-shot anthology Milestones in History on June 21, and DC has finally revealed details about the creators involved and the stories they're telling.
For this collection, Milestone Media is steering away from superhero stories and instead focusing on real-life moments in Black history throughout the world. Milestone partner Reggie Hudlin says this is very intentional.
"In developing Milestones In History with DC, it was important that this not be another book about the commonly known names in American Black history, as important as they are," Hudlin says in a statement. "Our goal with this anthology has always been to identify great storytellers from different backgrounds to celebrate Black history beyond the borders of America, and beyond the confines of slavery and oppression. While Black History is certainly all of that, it really is so much more."
However, Milestone heroes Rocket, Static, Icon, Hardware, and more will narrate each tale. The 96-page Milestones in History will feature the following creators and stories, among others.
DC has released 25 preview images from these nine stories and the intro, seen below.
The heroes of the Dakotaverse will introduce DC and Milestone Media's Milestones in History anthology, in a short comic by Reggie Hudlin and artist Janhoy Lindsay. And in 'Things to Come,' by Reggie Hudlin and Leon Chills, with art by Milestone co-founder Denys Cowan, readers will be treated to a teaser for what's to come for the Milestone superheroes.
Milestones in History will be available June 21.
Milestone heroes are among the Black superheroes who changed the face of comic books.
