So happy that this did well. Means we'll see more static and hardware icon, rocket and all the rest of the milestone heroes. Static has been one of my absolute favorite superheros ever since I first watched static shock as a child.

Various retailers have reported that the distributor HAS RUN OUT OF COPIES.

If you want NEW HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE: THE DAKOTA INCIDENT and your comic book shop is out...

...ASK THEM TO REORDER!!

It's so heartwarming to meet people who care about the characters and want to see the DAKOTA INCIDENT 100K CHALLENGE succeed!!

The goal is to sell 100,000 copies to show @dc.com the demand for an ongoing STATIC series and more Milestone stories of weight and length!

A great discussion between @fantasticfrankey.bsky.social and @josephpillidge.bsky.social about THE DAKOTA INCIDENT, Milestone Media, and Black comic book creation as a whole.

I do have thoughts...

Amazing…The angle of the story can actually be juxtaposed in the situation we in right now. The biggest theme I took from it…..SURVIVAL not if you survive, but how you survive.
