Hardware #23

Hardware surges forward in full armored might on this 1995 Milestone/DC cover, his massive mechanical fist thrust toward the viewer as explosions and industrial machinery erupt behind him — a visceral image rendered with bold energy by cover artist M. D. Bright. The sinister masked face inset at the top corner hints at the adversarial tension running through "Trust Never Sleeps," with this issue serving as Part Two of Three. With a creative team that includes Humberto Ramos on interior art and Otis Wesley Clay and Denton Fixx on writing duties, Hardware #23 promises a charged chapter in one of Milestone's most mechanically compelling series.
