Milestone Generations (2022)

Unveiling the vibrant tapestry of the comic book industry, Milestone Generations (2022) takes us on an exhilarating journey into the heart of Milestone Media. Co-founded in 1993 by the innovative quartet - artist Denys Cowan, writers Dwayne McDuffie and Michael T. Davis, and Black Enterprise's Derek T. Dingle - Milestone Media teamed up with DC to breathe life into the imaginative city of Dakota and to birth an array of unique characters such as Static, Icon, Hardware, and the Blood Syndicate, forever transforming the comic book landscape. This compelling documentary paints a vivid portrait of these pioneering creators, tracing their arduous yet triumphant journey through the past three decades. It showcases their unyielding commitment and fiery passion to break barriers and rise to the apex of the comic industry as black creators, igniting a revolutionary shift in the narrative through their authentic portrayal of the black experience. Threading the past with the present, Milestone Generations highlights the pressing industry need to acknowledge, foster, and amplify the voices of emerging diverse creators within the comics realm. It spotlights The Milestone Initiative, a groundbreaking program from DC, Milestone Media, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Ally, aimed at empowering the next wave of Black and diverse comic book creators. Born out of the probing question "Where are the Black superheroes?" in 1993, Milestone Generations presents the riveting tale of a revolution sparked by four Black creators that forever changed the face of superhero storytelling. Their legacy continues to shape the future, inspiring a new generation to tell stories that reflect the richness and diversity of their lived experiences.
