Description
HUMANITY — THE FIRST CASUALTY OF WAR! In Skynet’s dark future, not every human who loses a battle against the machines is killed outright. Some who are undamaged enough to work are sent to labor camps to help their robotic oppressors reclaim the salvageable material from their mechanical casualties. Among the inmates of these camps, there are rumors of a sanctuary — a fortified redoubt somewhere in the wastelands, where the Hunter-Killers and Terminators cannot approach without being destroyed. Within this fortress, the Resistance is gathering its strength and organizing the plan for its final victory. Now, one new prisoner claims to know how to get there. All they have to do is escape — and how hard could that be? Inspired co-authors DECLAN SHALVEY and RORY MCCONVILLE are joined on this second issue of The Terminator: Metal by special guest artist EOIN MARRON for a harrowing new tale set at the brutal heart of the War Against the Machines — featuring ruthlessly efficient covers by SHALVEY, BOB LAYTON, SEBASTIAN PIRIZ, and IVAN TAO!
