Background
In a January 2015 interview, writer Reginald Hudlin discussed a relaunch of Milestone Media Group, along with surviving co-founders Denys Cowan and Derek Dingle.[3] The following July, DC Comics announced the creation of "Earth-M" within their multiverse, which would be home to the earlier Milestone characters as well as new ones, and that one or two Earth M imprint titles would be published annually, as well as miniseries and one-shots. No further developments took place until October 2017, when it was revealed that Milestone would be returning in 2018 with five titles, including Milestone (featuring Icon and Rocket), a new Static series, Duo (based on the character Xombi), and two other new titles: Earth-M and Love Army.[4][5] Charlotte Fullerton, Dwayne McDuffie's widow who inherited his 50% share in the original Milestone Media company, sued in August 2017 over being excluded from the revived company despite the new Milestone taking over the original's Milestone IPs.[6]
Development
In 2020, Earth-M was retitled as Milestone Returns, with the initial issue being published in September.[7] An extended version was published in February 2021.[8] 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] According to Dark Crisis: Big Bang, it is designated as Earth-93 in the Multiverse.[9]
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.[10] While they still do not know each other, the enigmatic Dharma prepares them in secret for a war to come.[11]
