The Terminator graphic novels

by Greg Wright, Klaus Janson (Illustrator), James Cameron (Screenplay)

THE COMIC BOOK ADAPTATION OF THE NEW SMASH HIT FILM.

"The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves." John Connor

Ten years ago a nightmare from the future came through time to destroy its greatest enemy. It came in the form of a cybernetic organism, designated: TERMINATOR. Its mission: To locate and kill Sarah Connor, preventing the birth of her son, John Connor, whose future leadership of the human resistance would become a threat to the machines which had all but eliminated humanity on Earth. The Terminator's mission failed.

Now the Terminator has returned, but its target has changed.

It's no longer Sarah, but her ten-year-old son, John. The last time, one Terminator killed over twenty people before it was destroyed. This time, there are two of them. Now John and Sarah must fight not only for their lives, but for the fate of the world.

Terminator model 101, cybernetic organism living tissue over metal exoskeleton. Arnold looks awesome as he smashes bikers and gets clothing and a motorbike. Sarah in the mental asylum doing chin ups, looking strong. Rumbling about a future nuclear disaster. The T-1000, advanced prototype, polyalloy, liquid metal. Gets blasted with dozens of bullets. Gets back up, Gets completely burnt and reforms back to a perfect human. T-1000 moving through iron bars, liquifying and reforming (iconic in the movie). Massive bullets holes and slowly reforms back. Sarah and her son are on the run. Arnold after saving the day sacrifices himself into molten steel. Machine feeling emotions?

Miten huono ja typerä voikaan movie-tie-in-sarjakuva olla?
Klaus Jansonin taide on parhaimmillaankin karua ja hutaistun näköistä, mutta aina toivaa. Tässä oli vain hutaistun näköistä. Kerronta kertasi elokuvan tapahtumia jonossa ilman minkäänlaista kiinnostavuutta.

bad art sadly. like this guy did not know how to draw kids, John looked like an adult half of the time. beside that it's just a repeat of the movie. which hmmm doesn't translate perfectly to comic mode. I wish they had more freedom to change it up to fit the comic story telling but oh well
