Milestone Universe: The Shadow Cabinet - Paperback

by Joseph Illidge (Author), Atagun Ilhan (Illustrator), Darryl Banks (Illustrator)

Four years of adventure and intrigue have been building to this, as the greatest heroes of the Milestone Universe confront the biggest threat they've ever faced!

In 2020, following years of vocal fan demand, the Milestone Universe of heroes--headlined by Static, Icon, Rocket, and Hardware--returned to DC Comics! Now, with longtime Superman foe Brainiac making his way from the DC Universe to the Milestone Universe, the stage is set for the most consequential saga of this era of Milestone, as the Shadow Cabinet is back!

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.

With original Milestone Media contributor Joseph P. Illidge at the helm alongside artists Darryl Banks, Atagun Ilhan, and Ray-Anthony Height, the story that began in Milestone Returns will reach its fever-pitch climax--and no one in the Dakotaverse is safe!

This volume collects Milestone Universe: The Shadow Cabinet #1-4, and Milestone 30th Anniversary Special #1.
