Hardware: The Man in the Machine
by Dwayne McDuffie
Some real good stuff.
Curt is a genius. But he works for a piece of shit. I know a lot of people can relate to that. And so with that he decides in his free time to create a suit of armor and destroy the illegal activates of the asshole he works for. It's very Iron Man meets Batman yet it works really well.
Mostly thanks to Curt being a solid lead. He wants to do the right thing, but he can also be brutal. Killing people who stand in his way, even people working for scum like his boss, does eventually pay a hefty toll. And I loved that. The first 4 issues is a balls to walls action set piece with a lot of fun moments. But the second story focuses on a serial killer who eventually convinces Curt to look deep inside himself and see if he's one in the same.
Overall, 90's might have been filled with garbage but there's some gems in there, and Hardware is one of them.
