This fantastic omnibus edition collects three Pathfinder epics from Dynamite in single softcover volume: • PATHFINDER: GOBLINS – The goblins from Paizo’s Pathfinder RPG are pint-sized psychopaths, wreaking havoc across the land. Infamous for their unpredictable attacks, catchy raiding songs, hatred of dogs, and fear of horses, goblins blend mischief and murderousness like no other monsters! • PATHFINDER: DARK WATER RISING – The warrior Valeros can rely on his sword arm and his friends — the mysterious sorceress Seoni, the quick-witted elven rogue Merisiel, the powerful wizard Ezren, the well-traveled dwarven ranger Harsk, and the courageous cleric Kyra — but nothing can prepare him for the dangers that lurk ahead. The scattered goblin tribes of Varisia are unifying in ways no one has ever seen before. At the heart of this strange evolution is an ancient force of evil looking to establish itself anew in the world of Golarion! • PATHFINDER: OF TOOTH AND CLAW – When Valeros and his companions are tasked with tracking down a mysterious beast scaring the locals of Sandpoint, they find far more than they bargained for. A seemingly simple monster hunt becomes a twisted tale of danger and betrayal as the Cult of Lamashtu exacts its revenge on our iconic heroes! This capacious compendium includes more than 80 pages of encounters, characters, and world-building details for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, as well as a comprehensive cover gallery filled with astonishing illustrations!

Dan Watters Takes on The Terminator for a Valentine’s Day Special

It’s a double celebration, as The Terminator marks Valentine’s Day early and superstar writer Dan Watters makes his solo Dynamite debut! Dynamite Entertainment and STUDIOCANAL are bringing this special treat to fans this January.

Watters brings readers a love story like no other. Jack and Jill met at work, with one of those fairytale romances in a whirlwind of love. Even after a year together, they could barely keep their hands off each other. That is, until last week. Jill has found that Jack barely looks at her anymore, never mind tries to touch her. What’s happened to this once picture-perfect relationship?

The answer is that Jack has become single-mindedly obsessed with work. He’s locked in on the upcoming project they’ve both been working on, the background track to their passionate entanglement. Their employer Cyberdyne, the Cyber Dynamics Systems Corporation, has a major product launch — literally — around the corner. Their first surveillance satellite is scheduled to lift off February 14, 1987!

Can love survive at the genesis of Skynet, before the rise of the machines, and as the terrifying Terminators loom in the future? Find out in this new 30-page story landing in everyone’s reading pile ahead of Valentine’s Day.

Watters is joined by virtuoso artist Pasquale Qualano, marking his first foray with The Terminator, following fan-favorite runs with Vampirella, Red Sonja, Gargoyles, and Supernatural.

The powerhouse creative team are joined by a trio of diabolical covers by Björn Barends, Francesco Mattina, and Stuart Sayger.

Archie vs. The Terminator #1 kicks off the crossover we never knew we wanted

Archie vs. The Terminator #1

When a teenage John Connor enrolls at Riverdale High, Archie and the gang soon find themselves in the crosshairs of a Terminator! Archie vs. The Terminator #1 is a fantastic start delivering a debut that mixes Archie’s wholesomeness with the world of the Terminator.

When it comes to crossovers, Archie has pulled off some of the craziest but also some of the best. Archie has met the Punisher, Predator, Evil Dead, and now the Terminator. And, it works and works really well. Written by Rory McConville, Archie vs. The Terminator #1 keeps things rather simple. John Connor and his mother have moved to Riverdale to hide out while using alternate names. It’s an attempt at a simpler and safer life, where a Terminator can’t find them… but of course one will.

Where McConville’s debut issue really works is that it keeps it an Archie comic. There’s a wholesomeness about each moment and it doesn’t try to change things up or change up John Connor. That’s part of what makes the comic great. John and his mother Sarah make observations about how disconnected from reality Riverdale is, with no idea the danger that’s out there and they don’t mean Terminators. The Connors point out that Riverdale’s issues are quaint. It’s about mundane and small things that really have no major impact in one’s life. Compare that to not what the Connors are going through, but the world as a whole. It’s a small observation that doesn’t make fun of Archie and the gang but points out how disconnected from reality they are.

The art by Steven Butler and Lily Butler with lettering by Jack Morelli is solid. The comic keeps the Archie look and attempts to make John, Sarah, and the eventual Terminator more like Archie’s world than have them stand out. It’d be easy to go moody with John but the comic’s style feels like it takes his T2 style but dials it down a little to work in Archie’s world. The comic also doesn’t censor itself with a gun making its way into the story, showing this is one that could get rather violent. Add in an opening that teases the fate of some of Riverdale and you have a comic that’s both set in Archie’s visual style but not letting that wholesomeness hold it back.

Archie vs. The Terminator #1 does rely a bit on knowledge of the Terminator. It doesn’t take time to explain who John or Sarah Connor are, so those new to that franchise might be a bit lost. There’s clear history there that you might need to know to really enjoy the first issue. But, overall, it’s another solid crossover from a franchise that is known for it’s strange crossovers that work.
