Milestone’s third returning tile was Hardware, Spinning out of Future State we got I Am Batman where Jace Fox took up the mantle while Bruce was “away” during some of Fear State, Diana was on the earth where genders were swapped and her alternate self was a villain of a man, Worth teamed up with a lot of villains to get revenge on Batman and he beginnings of Task Force Z were being noticed, Flashpoint Batman met President Superman, the final issue of COTA dropped with one of the members having been revealed as an actual mutant and invited the the Hellfire Gala, this America Chavez run was at its end with her having learned the truth about herself, a new version of the Defenders started (this team of Defenders is more of a cosmic version, not unlike the cosmic oriented version of the ultimates, this team with be thrown back into each of the previous Cosmos’, i.e. like Eternity is the modern Cosmos of the Marvel universe, to find their villain. You know I love cosmic Marvel, so this was another fave title for me), Miles had a lot to think about after his Clone Saga, Electra (and others) couldn’t figure out where Bullseye was since his attacks were happening in multiple places at once, and Matt was exposed to a drug that made him more aggressive, Carol and Rhodey went on vacation (and this issue got an In-Hyuk Lee AAPI Heritage cover), Runaways ended this run with its 100th issue (Gert saw Gert, some Majesdanians arrived to take Karolina, and the last couple pages hinted at things), the High Republic got a new title, and we got the next issue of SWI.
