I have some news... New History of the DC Universe: The Dakota Incident #1 is going back to press! Second Printing details and cover art to come. Thanks so much to retailers and readers for the support. Y'all really did that. Milestone Forever!!!! ⚡️🚀⚖️⚙️
Didn't get copies of the Dakota Incident, pr want extras? Tell your local comic shop to #ReorderTheDakotaIncident and let's get a 2nd print going! #blackcomicpreorders
For Dwayne, Denys, Derek, Michael, and Priest. We poured our hearts & souls onto these pages. Dreams may sometimes be deferred. But they never die. You cannot destroy an idea. New History of the DCU: The Dakota Incident is out NOW. If you're not there, you just won't get it.
New History of DC: Dakota Incident is 10/10. A new aspect of DC's history set in a key era. Something happened TO Dakota City & its heroes. This is part of Black Lightning & Static's story. Also De Landro's art respectfully calling back to the late John Paul Leon was such a nice touch. Congrats all!
"New History of the DC Universe: The Dakota Incident #1 shapes the past and present of Milestone's heroes while building a future for them in the DC Universe." @josephpillidge.bsky.social #comicsky @stephwilliams.bsky.social @moellennial.bsky.social #NCBD Read @cjwritesstuff.bsky.social's review:
‘New History of the DC Universe: The Dakota Incident’ #1 explores Milestone’s past, present, and future
Let's hope The Dakota Incident #1 isn't the last we see of these heroes.

Happy birthday to the late great Dwayne McDuffie. Without Dwayne I guarantee I would not be in this line of work. He lit the fire, and it's my honor to keep it burning bright all these years later.
Buckle up...
AIPT@aiptcomics.com · 6mo agoDC Preview: New History of the DC Universe: The Dakota Incident #1 - Uncover an untold moment in DC history, where a murder leads to an all-out war between the heroes of Dakota City & U.S. government! @josephpillidge.bsky.social @moellennial.bsky.social @stephwilliams.bsky.social #comicsky Read it:
12 panels from the end of our run on Titans. I wonder what’s gonna happen next…
256 pages. 17 covers. Thank you, Titans! It’s been fun!
Seconded! Milestone comics were some of the absolute best of the decade, hands-down. My personal favorites were ICON, STATIC, HARDWARE, and SHADOW CABINET. And they're all collected in Omnibus format, so there's never been a better time to get in on the ground floor with some truly excellent comics!
Anne Loves Comics!@annecomics.bsky.social · 7mo agoAlso because I’ve actually only see one or two people shout them out, huge call out here to Milestone comics, another staple of the 90s that if you haven’t delved into yet then please do asap! My favorite has always been Icon but the line overall is just full of incredible books!
IIRC, this is the first time something I've written for comics has sold out and gone back to press. I want to say thank you again for the support, especially during what's been an absolutely miserable year in so many ways. Some special things coming up in Bat/Stat, and maybe a small surprise or two.
Evan Narcisse@evnarc.bsky.social · 8mo agoGood news if you missed the first issue of Batman/Static: Beyond #1... 2nd printing of the debut issue hits on February 4. Issue #2 is out next week on 12/24! (Makes a schway last-minute stocking stuffer, just saying) The dogs and I thank you.
Yeahh! Finally I can share my variant cover for Static and Batman Beyond! I had a lot of fun doing these two characters because I literally grew up watching them on tv after school! So ahhh I'm really excited about this cover! I hope you like it too! #staticshock #batmanbeyond #DCComics
Green Lantern Corps #14 is still a ways away... but Guy Gardner is coming back from DC KO a little... different. Meet THE ALLSIGHT, the most important man on Oa. Oh... and the bowl cut is back! Concept art by the great Fernando Pasarín.
I'm doing a series of variants for TITANS, first one with Cyborg for TITANS #33 =)

DC solicits are out, revealing that the legendary Denys Cowan @denyscowan.bsky.social is joining Nightwing as our ongoing artist with #136. A brand new mystery. A brand new Bludhaven. And the covers by @jorgefornes.bsky.social are going to blow you away. I'm so excited for this new arc.
Another round of great reviews for Titans 30. This one was important to me and I appreciate all the compliments immensely. And a big shout out to @brunoabd.bsky.social for helping out by drawing the Earth side scenes this issue. I couldn’t have done it without him!
The BIG NEWS is out! I'm taking over the retitled NEW TITANS with #33 in March, and I am joined by the INCREDIBLE Sami Basri on interiors with @muaadib.bsky.social on covers. New members, new villains, NEW STORIES!!
