Hardware: Season One #2

Hardware looms large against a dramatic sky in Mateus Manhanini's striking cover for this 2021 Milestone Returns title — the armored hero crouches atop a massive commercial jet engine, a glowing orb and swirling red atmosphere framing him against a distant city skyline. The composition masterfully plays with scale, making the aircraft feel simultaneously grounded and airborne while Hardware radiates coiled, purposeful energy. With Brandon Thomas writing and the art team of Denys Cowan, Bill Sienkiewicz, and Chris Sotomayor bringing "Episode Two: Shrapnel" to life inside, this second chapter of Hardware: Season One is a compelling continuation of one of Milestone's most compelling characters.
