“Confrontations”

In "Confrontations," Dwayne McDuffie and Denys Cowan deliver a tense, character-driven showdown as Hardware confronts Alva not with violence, but with cold, calculated strategy. After a moment of rage, Hardware chooses a different path—revealing he’s already uncovered Alva’s secrets and will dismantle his empire from within. Cover by Denys Cowan and Mike Gustovich captures the weight of that decision in a single, gripping image.

After spending some time refining his plan to kill Alva, Hardware is convinced by Barraki to find a different way to get his revenge instead of more killing. So, when Hardware puts his plan in motion and fights his way to Alva's office, he becomes enraged when Alva tries to hire him as a strong-arm agent. Nevertheless, Hardware doesn't kill Alva. Instead, he reveals that he's gone through Alva's files and will use them in the coming months to dismantle Alva's organization and ruin him. Then, when Alva is broken and penniless, then Hardware will kill him.
