Image credit: Dark Horse Comics Since I’ve been reviewing comics a little out of order so far, I thought it was time to return to Dark Horse’s original Terminator series, which started the expanded universe of Terminator stories beyond the movies. What’s interesting is that these comics were written and published before and during the production of Terminator 2. As such, it provides an interesting glimpse into what the creators were imagining beyond the first Terminator, before the sequel expands on the possibilities in a big way. For example, the darker, more violent, horror-like tone of the first film is…
The Terminator movie series is perhaps the best example of how success can both shape and destroy a series. More movies can be made, but studios, audiences, and other outside forces often want to see more of certain elements. In the case of the Terminator movies, every time since Terminator 2: Judgment Day they’ve tried to recreate Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

The moon is stuck in the midnight sky like a broken clock, and the sun is a distant memory. In this quiet seaside town, no one remembers how long this unnatural darkness lasted. That is, no one but 12-year-old Madeline Tock, a curious girl who lives in a cemetery and cares for the dead. In gratitude, the deceased whisper to her their concerns, like an overprotective but loving father. Be careful of this endless night and the girl who causes it.Because there are other people who can hear those whispers. . . A person whose gown is a map of…
Since the character’s introduction in 1977, Judge Dredd has had some truly crazy incidents and adventures (mostly through the pages of 2000 AD). Even on the “trainer” side, that long list includes The Man with the Permanent Middle Finger, “The Simping Detective,” and a billion other entries we’ve neglected to mention. I am. But in the midst of all the madness, we’d like to introduce you to a more recent and even more bizarre candidate: chimpanzees and voter fraud.Yes, Dr. Dredd has dealt with primates before, but in the upcoming AD 2000 Annual 2025, everything is truly dog-monkey.
