Hardware #40

Hardware leaps across a moonlit rooftop in his full armored suit, a heavy chain dangling from one ankle as he reaches forward with mechanical claws — it's a striking image of raw, kinetic power from Milestone Media's standout tech-hero series. The cover subtitle "Papa's Got a Brand-New Bag" hints at some serious upgrades (or complications) tied to the interior story, "Fathers and Sons," giving this 1996 issue a personal edge alongside the action. Cover art by Joe Brozowski delivers a dynamic low-angle composition that makes Hardware feel genuinely imposing, and with a creative team that includes Matt Wayne, Eric Battle, and Keith Pollard, there's plenty of talent behind this one.
