Wednesday Toast Saves Milestone Comics!
<p>**Full Disclosure:** The title of this episode is a joke. We are fully aware that we are just two idiots talking about comics on a podcast. Nothing in this episode is meant to take away from the wildly talented creators, writers, artists, and editors who have carried the Milestone legacy for decades.</p><p><br></p><p>The people working on these characters know the history, the industry, and the realities of publishing far better than we ever could. This episode is simply us speaking as fans and imagining what we might do in a completely hypothetical, make believe scenario with unlimited creative control.</p><p><br></p><p>Our respect goes out to everyone who has helped build and continue the Milestone legacy.</p><p><strong>Episode Summary:</strong></p><p>In this episode of Wednesday Toast, Lex and Simon dive into a passionate discussion about Milestone Comics, Static Shock, and the current state of Black superheroes in the comic book industry. After the recent push from fans to support a new Milestone release, the conversation turns into a larger discussion about representation in comics, corporate influence, and the challenges Black characters face within major publishers like DC Comics.</p><p>Milestone Comics has always held an important place in comic book history. Created to bring authentic representation and diverse storytelling into the superhero genre, characters like Static, Icon, Rocket, and Hardware helped shape conversations about diversity in comics. But decades later, many fans still feel these characters are not given the same long term support or marketing as other major heroes.</p><p>Lex and Simon break down the complicated relationship between Milestone Comics and DC Comics, including how publishing deals, marketing strategies, and corporate decision making can impact which characters get pushed and which ones struggle to gain traction. The discussion also explores why independent and creator owned publishers like Image Comics have become an attractive alternative for many creators looking for creative control.</p><p>The episode also features a hypothetical and completely fan driven conversation about what Lex and Simon might do if they had full creative control over the Milestone universe. From rethinking how Static Shock could lead a modern comic universe to exploring how independent publishing models could help these characters grow, the conversation becomes a deep dive into the future potential of Milestone Comics.</p><p>Along the way, the hosts also discuss nostalgia in comics, the modern comic speculator market, and why long term storytelling is essential for building new fan favorite characters.</p><p>If you are a fan of Milestone Comics, Static Shock, DC Comics, independent comics, or discussions about the future of the comic book industry, this episode is for you.</p><p><br></p><p>Topics discussed in this episode:<br>Milestone Comics and its legacy<br>Static Shock and the impact of the animated series<br>Black superheroes and representation in comics<br>The relationship between Milestone Comics and DC Comics<br>Independent publishing and creator owned comics<br>Marketing strategies in the comic book industry<br>Why new comic characters need time to develop<br>The comic book speculator market</p><p><br></p><p>Chapters:<br>00:00 Introduction to Black comic books<br>02:42 The state of Black representation in comics<br>05:11 Milestone Comics and its legacy<br>07:47 Creative control and the future of Milestone<br>10:03 Corporate decisions and Black characters<br>12:43 Exploring alternatives to DC's publishing model<br>15:17 Why stories need time to breathe<br>17:50 Supporting independent Black creators<br>22:02 Corporate influence on comic creation<br>25:44 The future of Milestone Comics<br>29:33 New storytelling approaches<br>34:18 Nostalgia and comic book market trends<br>39:52 The comic speculator market</p><p>Follow us on all social platforms for podcast updates.</p><p>Visit our Patreon for additional content and episodes.</p><p>Subscribe to "Wednesday Toast" on all platforms for future reviews and discussions.</p>

Wednesday Pull Revisits Static for Black History Month
<p><strong>Episode Summary:</strong>This week on Wednesday Toast, Lex (@wednesdaypull) continues the Black History Month rewind series by revisiting a past episode spotlighting a milestone Black comic book character and creative team.</p><p><br /></p><p>Originally released as Episode 90, this rewind features a discussion of Static Volume 1, the groundbreaking series published by Milestone Media in partnership with DC Comics.</p><p><br /></p><p>Static follows Virgil Hawkins, a teenager whose life changes after exposure to a chemical incident grants him electromagnetic powers. Rather than being born a hero, Virgil grows into one while navigating responsibility, identity, and the realities of his environment.</p><p><br /></p><p>The character was co-created by Dwayne McDuffie, Denys Cowan, Michael Davis, and Derek T. Dingle, with early work by Robert L. Washington III and John Paul Leon. Static debuted in 1993 and quickly became one of Milestone’s most influential characters.</p><p><br /></p><p>Beyond the comic review, this episode captures Lex and Simon in a looser, less edited conversation as they talk collecting, toy photography, comic shop challenges, and the importance of supporting local businesses and comic creators. It is a snapshot of the show in its earlier days and a reminder of how community driven comic culture has always been.</p><p><br /></p><p>This rewind episode highlights why Static remains such an important figure in comics and why revisiting Black creators and characters continues to matter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Collects Static #1–4.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><p><strong>CONNECT WITH THE SHOW: </strong>Check out @WednesdayPull on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts for deep dives all month long.

Wednesday Pull Revisits Killadelphia for Black History Month
<p><strong>Episode Summary:</strong></p><p>This week on Wednesday Toast, Lex (@wednesdaypull) is revisiting the archives for Black History Month with a rewind episode.</p><p>Originally released as Episode 87, this episode features a full review and discussion of <strong>Killadelphia</strong>, the horror noir series written by <strong>Rodney Barnes</strong> with art by <strong>Jason Shawn Alexander</strong>.</p><p>The story follows Jimmy Sangster, a small town beat cop who returns to Philadelphia to bury his murdered father, a respected city detective. What begins as a personal loss quickly unravels into something far more disturbing as Jimmy uncovers a city overrun by corruption, violence, and vampires.</p><p>Philadelphia, once a symbol of liberty, has fallen into decay. As the mystery deepens, Jimmy discovers the source of the outbreak is none other than <strong>John Adams</strong>, secretly alive and building an undead army to ignite a new and bloodier American revolution.</p><p>This rewind episode is a reminder of why Killadelphia stands out as a bold, socially charged horror series and why revisiting Black creators and their work matters, especially during Black History Month.</p><p>Collects Killadelphia issues #1–6.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>CONNECT WITH THE SHOW: </strong>Check out @WednesdayPull on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts for deep dives all month long.
