The moon people decided not to help the humans on Earth and instead kept doing science stuff. See, back in the day, scientists colonized the moon a couple years before SkyNet caused the robopocalypse. The plot has to do with Sarah’s Slammers, a resistance sect, who get some visitors from the moon. Hell, there’s no reason for them to even have the fake skin at all, since they don’t really do much in terms of trying to fit in with the humans. SkyNet itself is a cackling supervillain while the Terminators (who are usually wearing shades for no real reason) have way too much personality. Despite being incredibly violent, dark, and reveling in a body count, the tone is completely out of whack at times, and it almost feels like Terminator reimagined as a Saturday morning cartoon…with a lot of blood. That means coming up with an extension of that universe using only the concepts of the first movie, which in the grand scheme feels kind of half-realized.Ĭonsidering it takes place in 2031, it’s hard to say whether it should be called a sequel or a prequel, but it deals with the resistance’s never-ending war with the machines. NOW’s Terminatoris a complete trip to read because it came out before Terminator 2was even a thing. Thomas Tenney did most of the art, though Tony Akins and Robin Ator did an issue or two. It started in ’88 with NOW Comics and their 17-issue Terminatorseries, originally written by a revolving door of Fred Schiller, Tony Caputo, and Jack Herman, before Ron Fortier took over as the main writer.
