From the celebrated imagination of Dean Koontz comes a powerful reworking of one of the classic stories of all time! Dynamite Entertainment proudly presents an all-new, in-continuity story set within the universe of Dean Koontz's Frankenstein novel series. While healing from a beating she suffered at the hands of Victor Helios (the madman once known as Dr. Frankenstein and her own maker), Erika Five decides to leave the comfort of her glassed-in porch and bottle of cognac to explore Victor's secret home lab, which she believes is an antechamber to something more sinister. With the help of a decapitated head named Karloff, Erika finds a secret lab and within discovers that Victor's experiments are not limited to his attempts at creating a race of super-immortals. No, he has constructed a mirror-like portal to another universe... one of infinite realities that Victor is trying to bridge for his own horrible reasons!

Milestone: The Dakota Universe was put out in 1993 by SkyBox, and the 100 card set slid right into the groove of other line-wide comic book trading cards, from the DC Cosmic entries to the superb early Marvel sets to less-heralded niches like the Ultraverse product. The Dakota cards, like their kin, mainly focused on individual characters from their fictional shared geography (Dakota was the fictional Metropolis/Gotham equivalent), characters like the Iron Man-ish Armor seen on the box top above. Their design isn’t the most attractive, with muddled borders on the front and standard explanatory text on the back, but there are a few aspects that make them stand out. The first 18 cards, for instance, are somewhat unique in that they form two different murals depicting origin tales. The first of these, centered on the Superman proxy named (fittingly enough) Icon, combines a crashed ship with slavery and the Civil War:

WHO LIVES, WHO DIES …
A “power couple” no more, Superman and Wonder Woman need each other more than ever if they’re to defeat the immortal despot Vandal Savage. By stealing the Man of Steel’s powers, Savage has realized his master plan to draw back to Earth the comet that gave him his power eons ago. And this time, he’s confident it will grant him unspeakable might.
In his weakened state, Superman is a near-certain casualty at the hands of Savage and the super-powered genetic offspring that kill in his name. Diana appeals to the Olympian gods to heal him, knowing that they will first put his spiritual form through an emotionally grueling test to determine his worthiness. Should the God of War’s desperate gamble pay off, she and Superman must still contend with the immortal madman and his progeny. Will that epic battle move the estranged lovers to reaffirm their feelings for one another…or must one final tragedy bring them back into each other’s arms?
