Dark Horse The Terminator 2029


How do you duplicate over and over the same story line with the same characters.  You Don't and you shouldn't.  Well I thought I would see something new and fresh in Terminator 2029 but I didn't. The fact they didn't even appear to create a plot until the last two panels made it hard to finish the book.

It really starts off with two people on guard.  These two are soon to be lovers it seems in further issues.  However in Terminator that should only matter with Sarah Conner anything else is a waste of space. Their post time is over and they head back to camp on the way they meet up with Kyle Reese and enjoy some canned peaches with him.  The camp is then attacked and the survivors escape.  There is really no action involved. Reese blows up one terminator. You would think that some people would be getting fried or something. But they go back to the escape.

One truck breaks down, of course its the one with the two lovers and Reese.  The can't fix it and have to go into the woods were there is a brigade of Terminator's waiting for them.    

Now there is a new Terminator who can become human like but I think they did that in a Terminator movie before?

Over all at $3.50 if your buying this its for the long haul.  Its bound to get better. Zack Whedon  Who wrote Dr. Horrible is bound to bring the fire power in the next two issues. Andy Macdonald does some decent art work but again most is during the night time so not too much background art work (which I love)

Now there is a lot of mainstream press on this so I expect there to be something that floors me on issue #2!

On the Six Shooter chart I give this a 3.5 out of 6.  All I can say is "I'll Be back!!!"
