MILESTONE UNIVERSE THE SHADOW CABINET (2024) #1 CVR A DENYS COWAN

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!
