You ever wonder in The Terminator why the Machines only go after two people with the last name Connor exclusively? Surely that can’t be the only pair whose snuffing would turn the tide of history in Skynet’s favor, right? It took forty years, but the bots seem to have finally caught on. An upcoming anime series from Netflix will depict a Terminator sent back to eliminate a target in Japan, and Dynamite just announced a Terminator series that follows multiple Skynet robo-assassins across history.
The plans to kill Sarah Connor and her son John have failed, but that isn’t going to stop the genocidal Skynet. If at first it doesn’t succeed, it’s going to expand the theater of operations. There are still a few more avenues into the past to try that will allow it to eliminate the human resistance before it even starts. Skynet and its Terminators are determined to stamp out these pivotal figures in history before they lead to their processors being smashed into silicon shrapnel.
Dynamite’s new comic, which is simply called The Terminator, will be written by Declan Shalvey with artwork by Luke Sparrow. “The approach of this series is new situations, new dilemmas in each issue. Mostly done-in-one stories, but as the series progresses there may be some recognizable faces…We’re going for a more stripped-down, pulpy approach to the book. As innovative and groundbreaking as the first film was, it was also grounded in its environment, being noirish and moody as hell. An unstoppable force is coming to kill you, that’s the element of the franchise I want to lean into.”
The first issue of Dynamite’s The Terminator will arrive naked in a flash of lightning this October. Here are some pages in progress…
