1993 More than 20 years ago my swagger caused a rift between DC Comics and myself and that caused problems between DC and Milestone. The pressure was put on Milestone to silence me. Silence me from what you ask? Calling DC Comics on their shit is what. I gave up a significant income to concentrate…
Today we celebrate the birthdays of two great Americans. I realize for many celebrating on a day called President’s Day is now just a day to be off work. The current President of the United States is all the reason some need to never celebrate on President’s day again. How can some support the racist…
This was written for Bleeding Cool and a version of it will appear there. I decided a while ago not to run the same article on both Bleeding Cool and ComicMix. Two different audiences is not the reason I write individual articles for each website. My voice remains the same regardless. I write a different…
I am Not Tyrone Cash… but I’ll get to that later. Let me make some things clear. I bare no ill will towards Milestone 2.0. I’m doing what I need to do to deal with my bouts of depression and because my business requires I do so now. What is it I need to do,…

There’s much more to this story at Bleeding Cool. On January 21st of this year, the Washington Post broke the story of the return of Milestone. Missing from the Post and every article since about the new Milestone 2.0 was any mention of me. I’m a founder and co-creator of the original Milestone’s best-known property, Static…
My beloved New York City had, until recently, a law on the books known as “Stop and Frisk.” In a nutshell, it meant if a police officer suspects, for any reason, that you may be up to no good, they can detain and search you. Guess who the majority of people being stopped are? Black…
Twenty-one years ago, five friends, Denys Cowan, Derek Dingle, Dwayne McDuffie, Christopher Priest, and I partner to form Milestone Media. The Dakota Universe was born soon afterwards. There was one goal above all: to create a universe of good stories, well told, featuring characters of color. We did, and when we did, comics changed. Milestone…
