Today it was announced that Milestone Media will return to the DC Universe. These characters and titles will take place on Earth-M and will be spread across graphic novels, mini series and one-shot events. Characters mentioned at the panel to feature in the Earth-M stories include: Static Shock, Hardware, Icon, Rocket and Xombi with the tease of new heroes and villains to come.
The Earth-M titles will be helmed by DC Co-Publisher Jim Lee, DC Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns and Reginald Hudlin who worked on the fan favourite Static Shock cartoon series.
Milestone titles were introduced in the 1990s through a publishing partnership with DC Comics and have previously been integrated into the main DC Universe and are now slated to have their own place in the new DC Multiverse.
Exact titles and release dates have yet to be announced.

I’m torn on this. On one hand, I’m disappointed because I rather liked when they were integrated into the DCU rather than being a separate corner of the multiverse. But on the other hand, I’m glad some of the characters we haven’t seen much of lately will be returning.
That’s good news. The Milestone stuff were some of the best comics in the 90s.
