Hawken #4 (IDW Publishing / Archaia)

The iron-clad battle for survival reaches its breaking point.

Based on the high-octane mech combat universe, the penultimate issue of the Hawken miniseries thrusts readers back into the cockpit of a world choked by industry and war. On the desolate planet of Illal, the lines between man and machine blur as the corporate warfare escalates to a lethal degree.

In this chapter, the gritty, oil-stained reality of pilot life is laid bare. As the political maneuvering of the Prosk and Sentium corporations leads to more bloodshed, our protagonists must navigate a landscape where a single mechanical failure means certain death.
