Milestone Media is an independent licensing company, founded in the early 1990s. Milestone's comic titles were published by DC Comics.
The Milestone universe featured a large and diverse cast of characters that reflected the real world in ways many comic companies had never done. Mostly centered around the fictional mid-west, working class city of Dakota, many the "Dakotaverse" characters' origins were connected to "The Big Bang".
Milestone was responsible for launching the careers of many of today's top talents in comics, including JH Williams III, John Rozum, John Paul Leon, Jamal Igle, Humberto Ramos as well as many others.
