AMC’s new series AMC Visionaries has been running strong with Robert Kirkman’s Secret History of Comics, which has covered the industry on different subjects and from a variety of different viewpoints, including early years with Jack Kirby and Stan Lee and the medium’s response to 9/11. Tonight, at 10:00pm EST, the fifth episode is set to cover Milestone Comics, a name many Black Girl Nerds readers will be familiar with.
The Milestone reboot has been a topic of frequent excitement, but the recent series of announcements at New York Comic Con—including the announcement of “Earth M” and some hard release expectations for what has come to be known as Milestone 2.0—has re-energized fan attention and anticipation. Tonight’s episode will discuss Milestone, and we’re honored to feature some exclusive, formative images by the roster of artists in this venture.
Check out “The Color of Comics,” the new episode of Robert Kirkman’s Secret History of Comics on AMC tonight at 10:00PM EST.
