Hardware #11

Part of Milestone Media's "Shadow War" crossover, this January 1994 issue puts Hardware front and center in full armored fury — massive cannon leveled, cables and chains trailing, while a hulking robotic adversary looms behind him against a burst of explosive energy. Walter Simonson's cover pencils and inks deliver a kinetic, densely mechanical composition that perfectly captures the raw power at the heart of this series. With the tagline "The Big Bang Was Just the Beginning…" promising escalating stakes, this is a fine entry point into Milestone's bold vision of superhero storytelling.
