Summary (from http://milestone.luthor.com/comics_detail.asp?ID=209&):
Raquel has had her baby. His name is Amistad Augustus Ervins. Raquel tells of raising Amistad over the last couple of months. She tells of the reason he is names Amistad (after a slave ship). Icon II (Buck Wild) and Rocket II have now fully taken over the super-hero responsibilities. Icon II has become somewhat more educated, but has taken a more black radical slant. Icon II and Rocket II take out a villain, Trapshot. Raquel receives a message from Augustus telling of his Augustus telling of his adventures in the Cooperative and that Earth is now on trial. Oblivion then lands on Earth and begins to kill people.
