Shadow Cabinet #12

Shadow Cabinet #12 brings the Milestone/DC series to a tense standoff, as the bold cover tagline — "In the Clutches of System!" — sets the tone for a high-stakes chapter. John Paul Leon's cover pencils (inked by Steve Mitchell) put a white-haired figure in desperate struggle against an armored, clawed opponent, each grappling for control of what appears to be a piece of technology against a blazing red background. It's a visceral, kinetic image that captures exactly the kind of covert-team tension this 1995 series delivered month after month.
