Milestone Media is a comic book company made to showcase lots of black superheroes in an attempt to overcome stereotypical portrayals in popular media. It is mostly read by pasty white children. They are a subsidiary of DC Comics. In Dakota City, everybody is just as angry and punchy and aggressivey as they are in the DC Universe, but everybody is black so it's 'sensitively dealing with racial issues' instead of just regular violence for fun.

- Milestone Media is a company best known for creating Milestone Comics and securing an unheard of publishing and distribution deal with DC Comics and the Static Shock cartoon series. It was founded in 1993 by a coalition of African-American artists and writers (namely Dwayne McDuffie, Denys Cowan, Michael Davis and Derek T. Dingle) who believed that minorities were severely underrepresented in American comics. Milestone Media was their attempt to correct this imbalance.

Dingle) who believed that minorities were severely underrepresented in American comics. Milestone Media was their attempt to correct this imbalance. Christopher Priest participated in the early planning stages of Milestone Media, and was originally slated to become the editor-in-chief of the new company, but bowed out for personal reasons before any of Milestone's titles were published. By early 1995, Davis had left Milestone as well, to become President of the new Motown Imageworks imprint, published by Image Comics. Cowan soon joined him to serve as Editor in Chief.
