Hardware: Season One

Brilliant scientist Curtis Metcalf was framed by his boss—now he's out to clear his name and fight back! One of the most popular Milestone characters returns, reimagined for the 21st century! Curtis Metcalf was the brightest shining star of Alva Industries, a brilliant scientist mentored by Edwin Alva since childhood…until the failures of Alva technology at the "Big Bang" disaster threatened to destroy the company, and Alva needed a scapegoat. Now Curtis is on the run from the Dakota police department…but a man as smart—and paranoid—as Curtis takes precautions. With a nearly indestructible suit of armor and remarkable inventions that he never handed over to Alva, Curtis stands determined to do much more than clear his name…he's going to take the fight back to Alva himself! Writer Brandon Thomas (Future State: Aquaman, Excellence) is joined by Hardware co-creator and Milestone co-founder Denys Cowan, alongside comics legend Bill Sienkiewicz, to open a legendary new chapter in the story of the Milestone Universe's most complicated man! Is a better world on his mind? Or just a world built for him? This volume collects Hardware: Season One #1-6 and Milestone Returns: Infinite Edition #0.
