Milestone Universe The Shadow Cabinet (2024)

In the six months since Brainiac's incursion into the Milestone Universe, the nefarious Dr. Edwin Alva has gone missing, Icon's embarked on a deep space voyage, and Rocket has stepped up to fill the role of Earth's protector--but it sure does feel lonely at the top. That is, until Rocket finds herself recruited by the Shadow Cabinet, a mysterious cabal of powered individuals who've been saving the world in secret for decades! In Dr. Alva's absence, his estranged half-sister Angela has led a hostile takeover of S.Y.S.T.E.M.--the evil organization of world superpowers he left behind. Angela's dead set on proving herself even more ruthless than her brother, and nothing and no one will stand in her way...unless the Shadow Cabinet steps back into the light. They want to bring Rocket into the fold to take S.Y.S.T.E.M. down. But after a few too many rocky partnerships, is she willing to hear them out? With original Milestone Media contributor Joseph P. Illidge at the helm, the world-spanning story that began in Milestone Returns will reach its fever-pitch climax--and no one in the Dakotaverse is safe!

IS THIS THE END OF STATIC?! The assassin, Sanction, has set his sights on Paris Island with the goal of eliminating the Blood Syndicate once and for all. Meanwhile, Rocket seeks out Static in hopes of recruiting him for the upcoming war against S.Y.S.T.E.M.--but after everything Virgil's been through of late, he's not exactly the upbeat, wise-cracking kid he once was. Can Rocket convince him of the dynamic team-up she envisions, or does this spell the end of Static's heroic exploits?

THE SHOCKING ORIGIN OF THE ALVA FAMILY IS REVEALED! Angela Alva orchestrated the coup of a lifetime--Hardware captured, the Blood Syndicate defeated, and Rocket on the run. And in her most powerful act to date, Angela aims to resurrect her estranged brother--Dr. Edwin Alva! With the Alva dynasty more powerful than ever, is all hope lost? Not if Dharma and the Shadow Cabinet can help it!

DON'T MISS THE CATACLYSMIC FINALE OF THE SHADOW CABINET! It's all been leading to this! The heroes assemble to face a threat greater than they've ever faced before, but is it too late? Not if Rocket and Static rise to the occasion to become the shining beacons of hope for the Milestone Universe!
