The Botanist

Rooted in the fertile soil of Milestone Comics' groundbreaking 1994 universe, The Botanist made their debut in Static #8, brought to life by the creative team of Robert L. Washington III and John Paul Leon. A Copper/Modern Age creation, this character inhabits a world shared with icons like Virgil Hawkins, Hardware, and Aquamaria — the rich, diverse Dakota City milieu that made Milestone one of comics' most important imprints. With appearances collected across Milestone Compendium and Static Shock!: Rebirth of the Cool, The Botanist is a piece of that original visionary universe worth seeking out for any fan who appreciates the era when Milestone changed the landscape of superhero comics forever.
