Summary from now-defunct webpage at http://milestone.luthor.com/comics_detail.asp?ID=291&:

Red Dog prepares to stop Dharma in his attempt to take over the world. Dharma attacks Plus. Red Dog is attempting to save some of the Shadow Cabinet from Dharma. Dharma has disable SideShow by addicting him to drugs. Dharma takes Narnie from Bina. This gives him the powers of Plus. Then Sideshow attacks Dharma as a surprise, but fails. Mechanic then saves Bina by sending her to Brooklyn. A old Shadow Cabinet including Ether, Munition, Bent Nature, The Magnate and Red Dog go to face Dharma. Dharma prepares to use the Geode and reveals that he now controls S.Y.S.T.E.M. Iron Butterfly attacks Dharma and proclaims her love for him. The two of them will stay together. This stops Red Dog from coming and taking Dharma out. Donner and Blitzen escape the Shadowspire. And Iota leaves with them.
