Slag

Emerging from the groundbreaking Milestone Media universe in 1994, Slag was brought to life by the remarkable creative team of Dwayne McDuffie, Robert L. Washington III, and John Paul Leon — architects of one of comics' most culturally significant imprints. This Modern Age figure turns up across the pages of Blood Syndicate and Hardware, keeping company with characters like Static and Dharma in a shared universe that dared to tell stories mainstream comics largely overlooked. With appearances stretching across nearly three decades into 2022's Milestone Compendium, Slag may have a modest page count in the catalog, but any character woven into the Milestone tapestry carries real weight — these are comics worth seeking out for their place in history as much as their storytelling.
