after a few years of collecting and saving the milestone comics line i decided yesterday to dig right in. wow! these books are fun. when they first appeared i remember thinking 'another image' and kinda stayed away, but now i'm wishing i helped do my part. some incredible books and great creators came out of this line.

check out my story on the news page and coment please.....right now!

Anything with STATIC is just awesome. He was so clearly a new take on Spiderman without BEING a ripoff. And you could tell stories with him in any kind of setting, light, dark, serious or goofy. Once he teams with HEROES, you really see Static shine

I love Shadow Cabinet so much it makes me sad. I think I once offended Warren Ellis by pointing out that Shadow Cabinet was doing Planetary long before Planetary.

HARDWARE and ICON were sooooo underrated as being black knockoffs of popular characters that people forgot to actually read the book to see if that was true. I mean Hardware looks like Black Iron Man but really read like What if Dr Doom was a good guy. You can see a lot of hardware in later stories of War Machine and Steel.

Blood Syndicate constantly surprised me. From one of the best fight scenes ever to the crazy character development that would come along.

Xombi would have been praised by all the Vertigo Nerds if it had come out thru DC

Kobalt was probably the weakest of the line and was still a good read, especially for the take on what it means to be a "real" superhero in the Dakotaverse.

Matt have you read the new Milestone series that just came out that is the closing of the original Milestone universe?
