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 more
This western-inspired trickster warrior is a lot of fun, and his sarcastic, ambiguous style makes a great contrast to Rocket's newfound intensity. Along the way, we're introduced to a major player from the Milestone Universe's past, a new team is formed, and the first big battle is set up. Illidge is doing some really interesting stuff here.

The next chapter of Milestone hits readers with a solid opening volume. Illidges great writing focuses on Rockets journey while setting up the main plots. The art splits between the fallout of recent events and giving each key player enough time to connect with readers. If youre new to this line, theres no better jump on point than this issue.

Milestone Universe: The Shadow Cabinet #1turns up the heat when Rocket must contend with untouchable criminals and a new super team from parts unknown. Joseph Illidge keeps the spirit of Milestone alive with a well-paced, action-packed issue, and the art team's delivery is on-point. That said, the script spends too much time establishing a status quo for Rocket without defining a goal or stakes for the story, so there's no hook to grab you.6/10 Read Full Review
