I was looking at my longbox of unread comics yesterday and aside from a couple of random one-off issues or incomplete miniseries, I have only one big stack of physical comics left, and that's the handful of DC's first series of Star Trek. Now, my original thought was that I was going to wait until …

The Terminator: Endgame #1-3
In 1985, another Terminator emerges from a time flare, this one in the Canadian tundra. How many times can this happen? And how many times are we going to see both Skynet and the human resistance go into the past and not see any consequences for the future? Well, without spoiling too much, we get …
The Terminator: Hunters and Killers #1-3
I mentioned last review that this series, the penultimate Dark Horse series based on The Terminator was out of continuity. Unfortunately, in flipping through it again, it actually does apply to the continuity that's been established, but not in a way that it affects the story being told in the other series. Instead, it is …
Terminator: Secondary Objectives #1-4 and The Enemy Within #1-3
The primary objective was to protect Dr. Hollister from the rebels from the future. With that mission somewhat compromised due to Hollister's research being destroyed (although someone mysteriously mailed him a Terminator skull at the end of the first series), the remaining Terminator from the prior series now turn their attention to the secondary objective: …

The Terminator (Dark Horse) #1-4
Now, when my LCS changed owners and then locations last year to a much larger store, they had an overflowing back issue inventory that was wholly unorganized and in places overwhelming. Over the course of the next few months, they worked to get that all organized and while doing so, had a table full of …
Terminator: The Burning Earth
Wrapping up the continuity of Now Comics' Terminator books is this five-issue miniseries that is known for being the first published work of a young artist named Alexander Ross, or as we all know him, Alex Ross. Now, I admit that I bought this on eBay back in 2019 for a total of $9.52 (including …
The Terminator (Now Comics) #1, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12
As I said in my previous entry on these books, I've been picking up various issues of Now Comics' The Terminator series from the late 1980s and early 1990s whenever I see them in discount bins or at conventions. There are three total series, with this one being the first published although it technically takes place after …

Terminator: All My Futures Past
So a few years ago while rummaging through some fifty cent and quarter bins at my LCS, I came across a couple of Terminator comics from Now, an independent publisher that had the license for the movie (along with a couple of other properties at the time, namely The Real Ghostbusters and Married ... With Children). Back during my early …
Arak, Son of Thunder #11-20, 29, 32-34, 37-39, 43
So in the interest of "zeroing out" my unread comics (because that "longbox of the unread" could be moved to a shortbox ... if I had the shortbox), I've decided to continue with reading the incomplete runs of series that I own, then deciding if I want to finish collecting the entire thing. Which, yes, …

The Essential X-Men Vol. 3 and Vol. 4
With John Byrne off the title after the "Days of Future Past" storyline, Chris Claremont begins what will be a long continuous run of writing the X-Men with a rotating lineup of artists with these two volumes featuring the return of Dave Cockrum as well as Paul Smith's short tenure as artist and the first …
