When I was ten years old, I read G.I. Joe comics for the better part of a summer, which I looked at in depth when I released my podcast miniseries "Origin Story" back in 2016-2017. Those were the books that were collected in later volumes (specifically #6 and 7 of the IDW reprints), and in …

Cloak & Dagger (1984)
I had to put 1984 in parentheses because there is a recent Freeform show beased on the 1980s Marvel Comics series and I didn't want to get anyone confused. Not like anyone's reading this anyway. So this is one in a genre of kid adventure movies from the 1980s that puts someone around the age …
Super 8
Oh man, where do I begin with this? While I don't think I'm a "fan" of J.J. Abrams, I can say that between Alias, Lost (though Damon Lindelof was behind that more than J.J.), and both Stars (Trek and Wars), I've seen enough of his work to level some sort of educated opinion. Super 8 …
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 …
