LIVE THURSDAY NIGHT — THE CULTURE CONTINUES
LIVE THURSDAY NIGHT — THE CULTURE CONTINUES
Before the industry caught up… we were already there. Milestone Media didn't just create heroes. They created mirrors. They gave the Blerd community something rare at the time — authentic representation that wasn't a side story, but the main event. Characters like Icon, Static, Rocket, and Hardware didn't ask for permission to exist. They demanded to be seen. That same spirit lives on today. This Tuesday, we sit down with Alim Leggett — writer, artist, art director, husband, father of five, and creator of the indie comic force known as Sweet Pea. A creator carrying the torch forward. A storyteller proving that representation isn't nostalgia — it's evolution. We're talking about: ⚡ How Milestone Media reshaped the cultural and creative landscape ⚡ What representation truly means from the Blerd perspective ⚡ The creation and rise of Sweet Pea ⚡ Why every panel matters — and why our stories matter more than ever This isn't just an interview. This is legacy, impact, and the future — all in one conversation.YouTube ➡️ @blerdseyeview Twitch ➡️ @blerdseyeview1
