I’m Just Sayin’…#35

Dan DiDio has described the return of the Milestone characters as part of a plan to “expand the DC Universe.” I don’t know if he was exercising some wicked foresight by bringing these cult favorites back, but one thing’s for sure: there could be no better time for the return of characters like Icon, Hardware and especially Static. And if there aren’t any plans beyond using some of these characters in a JUSTICE LEAGUE storyline and others - specifically Static - over at TEEN TITANS, they need to go back and really think about this. Because now, in the face of this Brand New Day American climate, these characters have the potential to stand on their own in the eyes of readers…especially to young readers of color, for whom Obama’s win has created a whole new future to look forward to. And now that we as a people have apparently caught up to Milestone’s mission statement, these readers are going to grow up believing that they can truly be whatever they want, without the nagging “but” growing in the backs of their minds, as it did in my own as I got older.

I’m Just Sayin’…#29

Simply put - Marvel and FOX Studios blew it big time by changing Daredevil’s suit way too much. The Zorro-styled mask? Fine, I can live with that - it lends to the swashbuckling, dark-rogue nature of the character. Putting the “DD” over the left breast as opposed to centered in the chest? Another stylistic choice that I can’t understand the point of, but whatever. The big thing to me was…putting a leather racing suit on a free-running vigilante who relies on stealth to carry out his obvious death-wish? Uhm, yeah - coulda thought that out more…
