Starman was a great comic, for example. I did not buy any of the Milestone comics but I respected DC for giving it a shot. I think perhaps part of what hurt them was that Milestone took place in it's own universe rather than as part of the DCU. While the Milestone comics could avoid the crossover nonsense that happened every year with the big event, they could not take advantage of guest appearances by the Kryptonian Superman or Jean Paul Armored Batman, or... Hmmm, perhaps they were better off on their own... Thacher is right; the concept was ahead of it's time. Would it be too much for DC to consider a series of one shot specials to test the waters for a return? Yeah, the nineties were not a total loss. Starman was a great comic, for example.

Kobalt was definitely a book with some aspects of humor to it. The sidekick was the way humor was worked into it. Agreed with all the Milestone love.

I read them all, with the exception of Kobalt, although I'm sure if I went out and tracked those down I'd enjoy them too. Milestone simply told great stories with great, original characters. If they had started publishing a couple of years later, I think they would've lasted through the other side of the market collapse. If they had started publishing in the 2000s, as things began to pick up, they would've exploded. They were simply ahead of their time.
