Hardware #26

In "The Hunt for Deathwish, Part 1: Welcome to the Machine," a chilling serial killer targets children, leaving behind a trail of mutilated bodies—until the imprisoned Deathwish, hearing the news on TV, calmly escapes to hunt the real monster. With Hardware's reluctant aid, the duo races to uncover the truth, only to be captured by the Club-Haus Kidz, a gang of meta-human children with their own dangerous agenda. Written by Adam Blaustein and Yves Fezzani, with art by Prentis Rollins and inks by Aubrey Bradford, this 1995 issue features a cover by Denys Cowan and Prentis Rollins, blending suspense and high-stakes action in a story that redefines what it means to be a hero.
