TERMINATOR METAL #3

THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UNSTOPPABLE! Skynet may be an all-powerful AI with nigh-unlimited computing power, but time travel is still an inexact science. And with so many mechanical assassins sent into the past, some are bound to miss their mark by a few days… or months… or decades. When that happens, there are contingency protocols that kick in. Units switch to secondary targets, or find a place of concealment, power down, and wait —for as long as their programming deems necessary. The group of prospectors who uncover one such dormant Terminator on the side of an Oregon mountain in 1889 are, of course, blissfully unaware of this chain of events. But unfortunately for them, the first electric power station in the area has just come online — and they’re now standing between a T-800 and the energy it desperately needs to continue its mission! Local sheriff DECLAN SHALVEY and deputy RORY MCCONVILLE form a creative posse with quick-draw artist COLIN CRAKER for THE TERMINATOR: METAL #3 — featuring a fistful of covers from SHALVEY, BOB LAYTON, SEBASTIAN PIRIZ, and PAOLO ANTIGA!
