Hardware #35

From the Milestone Media lineup, Hardware #35 arrives in January 1996 with a "Jungle Action" chapter that puts the hi-tech Dreadnaught front and center alongside a suited, gun-wielding man — identified by the cover copy as Sanction — while armed silhouettes lurk among the tropical foliage behind them. The cover, penciled and inked by Mark D. Bright, captures the pair crouched low in dense jungle growth, Hardware's red-masked faceplate and massive armored frame radiating a menacing energy that contrasts sharply with Sanction's composed, almost understated cool. The blurb promises a mutant army and the terrible creature commanding them, making this an intriguing team-up installment in John Rozum and Eric Battle's run on the series.
