anyone remember milestone comics? they had a full spectrum of races when it came to their characters. I found a bittorrent on isohunt that had all of the comics available. my favorite was the superhero team called the shadow cabinet. an indian man named Dharma was their leader and other members had code names like Iron Butterfly, Sideshow, Iota, and Twilight.

Re: Milestone Comics

I used to read Static, Hardware, and Blood Syndicate. Some good stuff there. Even the Static Shock cartoon wasn't half bad, but not as good as the comic.

I liked all of those as well. Static depicted how it really was like to be a teenager even if he did have superpowers. I always thought that the weapons Hardware used were cooler than Iron man. And Blood syndicate reminded me of the gangs that were in the neighborhood I lived in at the time. I wish they had something like that now.

Re: Milestone Comics

I wish Comic Books,a nd not just comic book movies, were as hot now as they were in the early 90s.

Re: Milestone Comics

the death of superman story arc was all over the place. even my mom knew about it. I think the hey day of comics has passed. then again sometimes I am pleasantly surprised.
