Or – “Persistence Pays Off…”
When Stephen and I were in college, there came Image Comics, a coalition of guys who drew and whose drawings sold comics, they were a huge financial success. In their wake came half a dozen other companies that tried to launch entire comic book universes, all at once, to rake in some of the proverbial phat cash. The Ultraverse. Comics Greatest World. Valiant. To my mind though, the most successful launch came in the form of Milestone comics, a universe that chose to focus on diversity, giving us the adventures of characters of differing colors, creeds, orientations, and what have yous. And of those Milestone characters, my favorite was certainly the teen hero of Hemingway High, the man-boy called Static. Now that the Milestone characters have been absorbed into the mainstream DCU, it seems that we’re finally going to see Static achieve his full potential. Eat that, X-O Manowar, Hardcase and Motorhead!
