Hardware #31

In "Don't Worry if There's a Hell Below We're All Going to Go," Hardware faces off against Alva’s latest remote-controlled armor in a fight that starts as a playful spar but quickly turns serious. As chaos erupts at an exhibition meant to immortalize Alva’s name, Hardware must step in to restore order—only to witness Alva unexpectedly embrace heroism in a moment of selfless sacrifice. Written by Dwayne McDuffie and illustrated by Robert J. Walker, with inks by Steve Mitchell, colors by James Brown, and letters by Steve Dutro, this 1995 issue features a cover by Kent Williams that captures the tension and stakes of a turning point in Alva’s story.
