In essence, DC had in effect licensed the characters, editorial services, and creative content of the Milestone books for an annual fee and a share of the profits.

The biggest conflict they had was when an issue of Static showed the hero kissing his girlfriend, which DC didn't want to publish on grounds that it was using sex to sell comics ( which many DC covers at the time did ); Milestone covered most of the image as a compromise, and McDuffie believed it made DC uncomfortable because it was specifically " black sexuality ".

Milestone had several advantages in its publishing efforts: Their books were distributed and marketed by one of the " Big Two " comic book publishers, the comics industry had experienced remarkable increases in sales in preceding years, they featured the work of several well-known and critically acclaimed creators, they used a coloring process that gave their books a distinctive look, and they had the potential to appeal to an audience that was not being targeted by other publishers.

They also suffered from several disadvantages: The comics market was experiencing a glut of " new universes " as several other publishers launched superhero lines around the same time ( a slump would start in 1993 and a market crash in 1994 ,) a significant number of retailers and readers perceived the Milestone books to be " comics for blacks " and assumed they would not interest non-African-American readers, the books received limited exposure beyond existing comics-shop customers, the coloring process added slightly to the cover price of their books, and overall comics sales had peaked around the time of Milestone's launch and declined dramatically in the years that followed.

Milestone provided the opportunity for many emerging talents who had been passed over by larger established companies, beginning the careers of many comic industry professionals.

He appeared in the Bing Crosby film Anything Goes, though director Lewis Milestone had initially rejected him because his English was too good for the part.
