About the series
From 1993 to 1997, DC's Milestone imprint introduced Hardware, a 50-issue series that blended tech-driven superheroics with sharp social commentary. Created by a core team including Dwayne McDuffie, Denys Cowan, and others, it followed genius inventor Curtis Metcalf as he donned high-tech armor to battle corruption, embodied by his former mentor Edwin Alva. With artists like Humberto Ramos and Prentis Rollins bringing kinetic energy to the page, the series stood out for its unflinching look at race, power, and justice in a corporate world. Hardware remains a cornerstone of the Milestone universe, proving that a hero's greatest weapon can be his intellect and moral conviction.
