Hardware #14

Hardware #14 from Milestone/DC's April 1994 lineup delivers a striking image by penciler Denys Cowan and inker Walter Simonson: a man in a red jacket crouches over scattered mechanical wreckage in the foreground, while a gang of armed, identical-looking blond figures closes in behind him — and a hulking armored figure looms ominously at the top of the cover. The tagline "Here We Go Again" perfectly captures the sense of a hero caught between a bad situation and something worse. With writer Dwayne McDuffie and artist M.D. Bright driving the interior, this Milestone series continues to offer sharp storytelling with genuine stakes.
