Hawken: Genesis

In this 2013 one-shot from Archaia Studios Press, Hawken: Genesis expands the universe of the mech-combat video game Hawken into a standalone comic origin. The issue delivers a dense, atmospheric introduction to a war-torn future where pilots bond with colossal battle machines, grounding the game's visceral action in a narrative of survival and sacrifice. Though brief, it's a key piece of world-building for fans seeking the story behind the steel.
