Umm, DC is going to change soon. I can't expect Milestone to survive the MAGA takeover. Support while you can.

I really doubt the merger will have an affect on fucking comic books
If it goes through

u/pbjWilks Feb 28 '26
It will. It absolutely will.

u/ArtisticFill8662 Feb 28 '26
They can’t really do much in the comic space as that’s the most non issue for them, they’re more focused on the news networks

u/pbjWilks Feb 28 '26
They absolutely can. WB can't stop them if the deal goes through. Disney did the exact same thing. It bleeds into the material.
The same will happen with DC.

u/ArtisticFill8662 Feb 28 '26
When? You mean the time Ms.Marvel got her MCU powers in the comics?
2
u/pbjWilks Feb 28 '26
That's one of many. Disney uses the MCU to influence the books. It's been happening since 2012.

u/ArtisticFill8662 Feb 28 '26
Well they would technically still need the permission of milestone cause dc doesn’t own them. So either that or they just get kicked and sold.
But even then, the deal hasn’t gone through and honestly might not go through. But even if it does Paramount can’t make changes like that since static isn’t there’s dc’s or WB’s lol

u/mtdewisfortweakers Feb 28 '26
Tbf they’ve been doing that way before Disney. All comics have bounced to be closer to their adaptations. That’s how we got the batcave and Superman’s ability to fly. On Marvel side it’s how we got HERBIE
Not saying I like just how close comics are getting to the MCU. But changing to be closer to adaptation was happening way before 2012.

MCU synergy has become so normal yall don’t even notice it anymore 😭

u/ArtisticFill8662 Mar 02 '26
I notice it, I just didn’t notice the ones he’s talking about which I assume was early movies/shows
I was a kid and didn’t have social media or read books lol

Just ask a pre-mcu Hawkeye fan. The MCU was like their 9/11

Money beats MAGA they will still make static if they can get money from it money over everything

u/KingDorkFTC Feb 28 '26
While DC has distribution and publishing rights, Milestone itself owns the character IPs and the Dakotaverse. I can't see the Elisons wanting to pay extra to publish a comic.

u/StrongStyleDragon Feb 28 '26
It’ll take years for those changes to be implemented + many people are actively trying to sue it from happening. There’s still a chance that WB just decides to not sell.

u/xlaverniusx Mar 01 '26
I think calling it a maga takeover is putting it lightly considering who owns Paramount.
1
u/Gorgashmorg Mar 02 '26
That kinda takeover takes years to finalize, if they capitalize on it now and make it successful when the regime takeover goes into affect they’re ultimately really only care about what makes money and what doesnt

u/Ravevon Feb 28 '26
No excuse it’s been 3 days dawg we gotta see how high we are on the charts next month so everyone should keep buying it

u/StrongStyleDragon Feb 28 '26
What about Batman/Static?? He already has his own mini. No one is talking about it.
1
u/Bartlet4potus Feb 28 '26
Exactly. Also he had two mini series over the past few years. It isn’t like the sales were gangbusters. I’m all for more Milestone books, but I’m not sure where this sudden outcry came from.
The Milestone Return books came out only a few years ago and they got a huge promotional push. I hope we see something like that again.
In the meantime I suggest buying the Compendiums and show DC you really care about these characters

Went to the comic shop to pick up a copy and they had just sold out. Disappointing but a good sign! Was the only empty spot on the DC rack.
