This is What You Want, This is What You Get: Richard Stanley's 1990 Hardware Gets A Comic Book Sequel

After 32 years, it looks like Richard Stanley's cyberpunk classic Hardware is getting a sequel. Instead of taking form as a movie, the new story will take place in comic book form from Final Impact Comics. The new comic called Hardwired: Dawn of the Droid will be direct continuation of his film and is currently slated as "coming soon". No other real details have been announced but Stanley took to social media earlier today to make the announcement. 

The film which was released in 1990 takes place in a post apocalyptic world where bandits scour the wasteland looking for robotic parts and mechanics. Through the story of the film, a robot is loosed upon a futuristic apartment where all hell breaks out and the metallic creature kills his prey. It's a perfect specimen of old school practical effects that holds true as one of the best cyberpunk movies ever made.
