Shadow Cabinet #1 Brings Back the BLACK & BROWN Justice League

[@EyeOfTheWatcher]

The Black Comic Lords did an interview with the folks at Milestone and basically it is going to depend on sales of this mini-series if more content will come out.

[@tevinperry1853]

Thank you; you are one of the few comic book KZbinrs to cover the new milestone universe

[@trehubb6144]

As someone who watched Static Shock and loving this new Milestone universe i really wanna see the books do good. Similar to you i do feel sadly they may not be doing good as we would hope

[@armoghetto]

I like that Milestone characters are back! And the more that new universe is developed, the better we all are for it!Want people to know there is more than Static. Was always fond of Fade and Flashback myself!

[@EyeOfTheWatcher]

I think they brought Milestone into the DC Universe because of them purchasing Milestone, but I do agree that they could of brought them without making them feel like secondary characters almost every time they used any of the milestone characters in DC media. Going forward DC and Milestone should mention what is going on between each other without doing any crossover events, as this can keep them connected in the same universe without effecting Milestone in trying to build up their characters again.

[@vharris5503]

They were always in partnership with DC even at the height of their fame, they were an indie imprint distributed thru DC. There's a real good documentary about Milestone that goes into detail about what happened.

[@johnwright-b2l]

This short series from milestone is off to a good start.

[@kaatibomari1815]

YES let’s support this book. Buy all 3 covers and give some to friends or enemies lol. The book has been given a lot of care from the creative team. Showing up to be an epic series.

[@JamesJones-bt1ms]

Just picked up all 3 milestone compendiums and the hardware and static hardcovers because I liked shadow cabinet so much. I have high hopes for this and black lightning

[@MrKurtBarlow]

Love this universe. DC comics does not have the skill, talent, or balls to fully integrate this IP into the DCU proper. Which is a shame. Imagine how potent a universe they would possess if they had all the IP they amassed in a cohesive world.

[@nycplayboy78]

OMG THIS!!!!

[@abrashio]

It was planned to happen when they first did the New 52 but when Dwayne McDuffie died and then the Static comic failed so hard all plans to properly integrate the Dakotaverse into the DC universe properly. Plus they dropped the ball so hard on Wildstorm being integrated and they actually own that IP.

[@tevinperry1853]

@@MrKurtBarlow i think this would be at the detriment to the milestone universe. Preventing possible growth or stories

[@Crisis-Comics]

I think the blame lies more on Hudlin than DC, frankly. He's the president, and unless he was hampered by restrictions, he's the one who wrote the Zero Issue (laying the framework for the reboot) and both Icon & Rocket and Icon & Hardware- both of which have been the stinkers of the line compared to Thomas' Hardware, Ayala/Ivey's Static series, and Thorne's Blood Syndicate. His writing is shockingly shallow compared to the rest of the books (with horrible editing to boot) and despite having a boatload of talent at his beck and call thanks to the Milestone Initiative, he rarely uses them outside of the non-canon Talent Showcase. I think if we got a big heavyweight writer to revamp Icon, put out a Milestone anthology book to keep the stories going between miniseries, and all the writers put in as much effort to promote their books as Illidge is doing, the line could be salvageable. Keep Hudlin in the credits as the President and maybe plotter, but don't give him scripts. It's like giving Rob Liefeld pencils.

[@charlesbratt2504]

Been awhile since some new Milestone comics came out. Did I miss something? Anyway,very happy with the Shadow Cabinet story so far! Love the Milestone characters. I assume there is a series telling the Brainiac story. Will be asking my LCS guy next visit.

[@Comicboox]

Added to my LCS pull-box!!! Glad to see the Shadow Cabinet back!

[@MisterInevitable]

Static's new fit is amazing.

[@nodatastored684]

It always baffled me the Milestone characters were not in one book like Astro City

[@Thrillr]

3:30 “PERFECT!” 😂 timed perfectly w/ ya sentence

[@3dArticulatedFigurePhotography]

I would love to see Todd McFarlane add these heroes and villains to his DC toyline.

[@HolyHadou]

I just know that Anansi is actually based on an African Folk Story about a story telling Spider that performed three great feats of wisdom? At least I think? It's been a while since I rolled with Anansi.

[@EyeOfTheWatcher]

You are correct, as they brought Anansi in from the Static Cartoon.

[@s-wo8781]

Also his powers in the cartoon comes from a spider amulet and he can stick to walls like Spider-Man.

[@vharris5503]

Milestone hit at a time when black consciousness was more apparent in hip hop and film and addressed the need for diversity in comics long before it was a political talk point. If they incorporated writers who have the spirit of Dwayne Mcduffie(RIP) I believe they'll recapture that feeling the earlier run had

[@jazzmyn5804]

I did not finish Icon vs. Hardware so I had no idea about Icon leaving at the end of it. And when I went back to read OG Milestone comics, Shadow Cabinet did not interest me. But the events leading into this new Shadow Cabinet plus what looks like stellar art (which will get me every time) might make be finish Icon vs. Hardware and pick up this mini series

[@Crisis-Comics]

Neither did Blerd, tbh. The book was so delayed and forgettable that a lot of comic websites forgot it came and went. Which is honestly a really bad sign for a series when part one of your big "Worlds Collide" event drops off the map.

[@adamsifford6228]

I feel like if you mess with the Milestone universe it's the same as messing with Watchmen universe. JS

[@ajaniscott3623]

I did read the original shadow cabinet but it looks 🔥 so I might act want to read it

[@uptriverside157]

Should've went with the Blood Syndicate

[@quintinr.6760]

DC should be ashamed of itself, and I will leave it there. They have stole from the language of the comic book company. And down played the characters. And I collected almost all of the original titles when I was young. Icon and Rocket should have had a movie by now NOT to mention Blood Syndicate.

[@benjaminloudly]

Outside of that from the OG D. Cowan, the art of the Milestone titles has usually been the barrier of entry keeping me away from these books. DC will never get all-star talent on these and I don't see anything looking better than their Young Justice counterparts.

[@josephfergusonjr1111]

Loved Blood Syndicate and Static Shock, but money talks and BS walks…

[@charlesbratt2504]

Same here! I was out of the country when the original Milestone stuff came out. Been really enjoying learning about these cool characters. I’m all in!

[@masontalarico7090]

I really hope that they bring in a Deaf superhero. Marvel did a pretty okay job with Hawkeye and Echo. Especially when Deaf people were actually behind the scenes, bringing authenticity to the concept. The Black Deaf Community and its history in America is not represented often, if at all. I would love authentic black Deaf representation in a Milestone superhero.

[@ensabahnur7657]

Interesting

[@Art80385]

Great video

[@jayhemp00]

I'm honestly hoping that James Gunn knows who the fuck Milestone is and actually incorporates some of the characters into his DCEU. Young Justice did it, hopefully Gunn is paying attention.

[@avburns]

You would think as popular as Static is; he would draw people to Milestone. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened.

[@EduardoGama-rs5ixokikkis]

Kwaku in my mind when rocket

[@TheSibua]

Dc and milestone have merged several times, but they keep separating them after each major reboot

[@tylerferguson3193]

Hope you'll have a good day

[@MrDarkeros]

I did not like the end of that run either. Considering the world knows about another alien. That's been on this planet and not said a word.

[@CeniteSoundEnt]

I like the new milestone but it feels like they’re pussyfooting coz this could be bigger and deeper than the old milestone. Idk the direction they’re going in. From blood syndicate to xiombi they could do some dope stories and they chose this way and it’s not working. I don’t get it.

[@GreenGoblet22]

I'll probably pick this up for Iron Butterfly alone - we need more Palestinian superhero characters and show support for the ones that exist (there are maybe two?)

[@Polymath76]

The whole angle of minority superheroes doesn’t work now considering every major IP is cramming as much diversity as possible down our throats (to the point of code switching major characters). Milestone writers are gonna need to rely on actual character driven stories that go beyond minority tropes. More than likely they’ll just lean on class war vs racism which will also get old quick. There are so many interesting characters the milestone universe that can go way beyond what they’ve done so far, that it feels like a waste of potential at this point.
