Publication history[]

In 2018, DC Comics announced Earth-M as a reboot of several comic books of Milestone Media by Denys Cowan, Michael Davis, Derek T. Dingle and Dwayne McDuffie.[citation needed]

In 2020, Earth-M was retitled as Milestone Returns, with the initial issue being published in September.[3] An extended version was published in February 2021.[4]

The issues are available in print, digitally, and on DC Universe Infinite since April 2021.[1]

Setting[]

Milestone Returns is set in "Earth-M", which is officially non-canon to the DC Universe.[2]

Premise[]

In Earth-M, famous characters like Static, Icon, Rocket, Hardware and several others have new origin stories related to the Big Bang, the event that happened in the city of Dakota.[5] While they still do not know each other, the enigmatic Dharma prepares them in secret for a war to come.[6]
