Originally seeming to be an anthology series of one-off missions to the past from a post-Judgment Day future, Declan Shalvey’s The Terminator comic series revealed itself to be telling a connected story all along, as of issue #8.

It was cleverly done, but where now for the final three issue story arc?

Well, why not straight to Judgment Day itself? Here we have an assault on Cyberdyne Systems by a group of human soldiers, who’ve been gathering their numbers and planning their assault for a year. What they didn’t realise is that there was a T-800 right under their noses the whole time…

This is a great opening chapter to the final story arc, with some really clever use of repeated panels and situations to sell the mundanity of the T-800’s waiting game. Things seem hopeless for humanity at this point, even against just a single T-800, and I’m very keen to see where we end up by the climax of the series.
