After completing their 10 issue run, Dynamite is bringing another Terminator series
One of the most confusing aspects of the Terminator franchise is that nobody knows what the metal robots are made of. Is it metal? Well, you’ll find out in the new series from Dynamite, The Terminator: Metal, written by Declan Shalvey and Rory McConville, with art by Lorenzo Re.
“While continuing to explore Skynet’s machinations throughout history, we’re also taking readers deeper into the Future War era than ever before,” said McConville via press release. “Each issue will be a standalone tale that delves into the triumphs and tragedies of those caught in the eternal war with the machines, and the struggle to hold onto their humanity after the world has ended.”
Added Shalvey, “Working on The Terminator has been one of the most challenging and satisfying projects of my career. Given the prospect of a new series, the opportunity for more ideas and different stories was too exciting to turn down. This time however, I knew I needed a trusted writer who could provide big concepts with emotional range on board with me in order to help me meet this new challenge. Thankfully, Rory McConville, my co-writer from our previous time-travelling series, was available to help me workshop this new playing field. With Metal, we’re looking to apply the same approach as the previous series, but with more of a focus on the struggles during The Future War. The locations may be different, but the stark, emotive and desolate storytelling remains the same.”
As Shalvey mentions, the duo worked together before on Image Comics’ Time Before Time, so they know a thing or two about mind-bending time travel plots. And while the previous Terminator series from Dynamite did a series of (mostly) done-in-one tales of the Terminators throughout time, this one will flip to a human engineer named Percy Dalton, who sets out on a mission with his buddy “Tex” who — gonna throw a guess out there — is likely a Terminator.
Per PR from Dynamite, “When they find themselves trapped behind enemy lines in No Man’s Land and run into other surviving resistance fighters, this nullified metallic monster serves as a philosophical crux. Percy will struggle to complete their mission, work with others, and tackle what it means to be man and machine. At risk of Tex being rebooted to factory settings, or perhaps being the unexpected hero, this thrilling first issue is just the groundwork for what will be more pulse-pounding science fiction from Shalvey and McConville in the brutal landscape of The Terminator!”
The first issue will hit in October
There’s also a Christmas Special Coming
Just a bit more time until Christmas. However, it doesn't interfere with Dynamite Entertainment publishing house to announce the comic book "Terminator" with action taking place during the holiday season. Dynamite and Studicanal are joining forces to publish the titled comic
"The Terminator: Santa Claus Is Coming To Town".
This will be a one-part, 28-page story (one-shot), combining Christmas tradition with post-apocalyptic horror, as absurd as it sounds.
"In a future where Skynet has destroyed almost all of humanity, Christmas Eve doesn't offer much consolation. The Resistance is divided and greatly weakened. However, a handful of elderly people are still holding on to their Christmas memories, passing them on to the younger survivors between enemy raids.
For children who have never been at peace, the legend of Santa Claus – the unstoppable figure in red who infiltrates homes around the world – is more than just a fairy tale. Did he use advanced infiltration tactics? Did his glowing red eyes help him slide through the defense? And is this myth so different from the machines that hunt them now? "
