DC Comics fucks over Dwayne McDuffie & also won't use Milestone heroes anymore!

[J Storm]

Dwayne's gonna be alright. He's making that animation money and Ben 10 is lining his pocket. Sometimes you just gotta let go. DC pulled some bullshit, but after ten years, I think Dwayne has some aces up his sleeve. The brother's getting married and that shit gotta be brushed off his shoulders. Fuck WB and DC. He's got more than one idea. Next time, he'll be wiser.

Also, it saddens me that over the years, Dwayne rarely mentions Blood Syndicate. That was def my fave book from Milestone. I've given away nearly every comic I've owned for the last 20+ years, but the only box that I hold dear is a short box of comics that is entirely created by black/minority creators. Within that box is my nearly complete Blood Syndicate run...including Wise Son and some extra Icon, Static, Hardware, and other Milestone books. I covet that box like white boys covet their spider-man. That shit might not be worth anything financially (most of that stuff isn't worth more than a quarter, sadly) but it's priceless to me.

Props to Dwayne M. That cat's gonna be alright.

BUMP... let the conspiracies Begin.

As I said in a previous thread DC is lacking with Black superhero as a lead or in their own book!!!
They took Milestone and put them to the back of the bus!!!!

 

[Shurnuff]

Bump!!!!

Man, that's really to bad.. never read any of those books, because i was only into mainstream comics.. but dang, that's just wrong.

The worst part of this bullshit is that papers were signed before the "reintegration" Milestone Comics' characters and now they are under contract with DC for a set amount of time. So it's not like he can just take those characters to some other comic book company right now. If all DC really wanted was Static. So why even fuck with the rest of the Milestone characters in the first place?

To control competition.

 

[Devilstrider]

So how long is the contract?

Sadly Dwayne McDuffie passed away last monday Feb 21st. RIP bro. You did great work may it live on.

 

[Shurnuff]

So how long is the contract?

Don't know but I'm about ready to start digging out my boxes of comics and revisit my Milestone collection!!! Or better yet start hitting up in the comic book fourm!!!!

Damn.. Do you think we should tell AFKAQ about Mr. Terrific?

Heres a Marvel Run Down...
Patriot - Leader in Young Avengers
Storm - Leader in X-Men
Cage - Leader in New Avengers
Brother Voodoo - New Master of Mysticism
Black Panther - First Black Superhero

STORM is by far the most Main Stream of any Black Superhero... So much that when you ask people to Name Black Superheroes, Her Name is rarely called out.

Cage is now the leader of the Thunderbolts

bump due to the tragedy

Also, DC is soliciting their new "Xombi" title, a former Milestone book.
