Stories

  • Resolution · 20 pages

    Alva has sent an armored thug to kill Hardware, and it looks like he just might do it, too. But then, Hardware uses his own armor to infiltrate that of his opponent's. A bit of on-the-spot programming, and the thug can't move. After administering a thorough thrashing, Hardware drags his defenseless enemy back home to a distressed Alva, daring the old man to continue his defiance.

Publisher’s description

In the conclusion of the action-packed first story arc, Hardware thinks he has the evidence to topple Alva...but SYSTEM may destroy him first! Curt Metcalf is in for another fight when Edwin Alva sends a Systematic after Hardware!
