From the minds of Robert Kirkman & Marc Silvestri!
Imagine being able to take over the body of anyone on Earth in order to track down a rogue nuke or assassinate a dictator. Sound crazy? Not for Agent Drake and the Hardcore Program. They can turn anyone—your neighbor, your co-worker, your spouse—into a human drone to get to targets normal soldiers can’t.
Drake is the best soldier Hardcore has to offer… until he’s stranded in a body with only 72 hours to discover who’s hijacked the Program. But who can you trust when your enemy can change their appearance as easy as someone changes a shirt?
Andy Diggle (THIEF OF THIEVES, Losers) and Alessandro Vitti (Secret Warriors) present a new Skybound Original that shows you how to save the world without getting your hands dirty.
Collects HARDCORE #1-5.
