Joseph Illidge Returns | New History of the DC Universe: The Dakota Incident

Returning guest Joseph Illidge reflects on his deep roots with the groundbreaking Milestone initiative that launched in 1993 with iconic characters like Static, Icon, and Hardware, tracing the lineage from the original Milestone Media through its integration into the DC Universe. We focus heavily on his just-released History of the DC Universe: Dakota Incident, which bridges different eras and continuities, breaking down what the "Dakota Incident" refers to and its significance to the Milestone story, his collaboration with other creators, and what both new readers and longtime fans will discover in the book. He addresses why Milestone's legacy remains vital to comics history, the challenges of keeping it alive and relevant over the years, and what he hopes audiences will take away from this latest chapter.
