It’s Christmas Eve in Skynet’s apocalyptic future, and the atmosphere is pretty far from festive. But even in the blasted rubble of civilization, the surviving elders of the Resistance have fond memories of the holiday — and in between drone attacks, the younger members are eager to hear about them.

The story of the jolly old man in a red suit who infiltrated people’s perimeters is especially intriguing. How did he avoid the sentries and guard dogs? What kind of exfiltration technique was he using? And most important, did he have glowing red eyes that matched his fur-trimmed hat — like the hulking figure that’s now advancing on their position?

The Terminator: Santa Claus is Coming to Town pits the Resistance against an Evil Santa

The Terminator: Santa Claus is Coming to Town

HUMANITY IS ON THE NAUGHTY LIST! It’s Christmas Eve in Skynet’s apocalyptic future, and the atmosphere is pretty far from festive. But even in the blasted rubble of civilization, the surviving elders of the Resistance have fond memories of the holiday — and in between drone attacks, the younger members are eager to hear about them. The story of the jolly old man in a red suit who infiltrated people’s perimeters is especially intriguing. How did he avoid the sentries and guard dogs? What kind of exfiltration technique was he using? And most important, did he have glowing red eyes that matched his fur-trimmed hat — like the hulking figure that’s now advancing on their position? The Terminator: Santa Claus is Coming to Town is a holiday tale featuring killer robots.

Written by Paulina Ganucheau, The Terminator: Santa Claus is Coming to Town is an entertaining one-shot that delivers a little festive cheer into the 41 year old franchise. Did we say cheer? We meant a life and death battle with a Terminator. The story has a tentative connection to the holidays with the resistance members chatting about Christmas that was and the Terminator donning a Santa Claus outfit.

For those who are Terminator fans, this might irk you as the mall they’re in is set up for the holidays, but in the films Judgement Day is July or August, so it’s a little odd that there’d be any Christmas stuff out on display for the Terminator to don. There could be explanations it was left there by others, and maybe I missed that explanation, but it’s a small detail that stood out to me.

The art by Kendall Goode is decent. With lettering by Jeff Eckleberry, the overall vibe feels bit more kids cartoon than Terminator franchise. It’d be like the Terminator adapted for the 90s Fox afternoon cartoon block. The action is decent and Terminator looks interesting and somewhat deranged dressed as a killer Santa but the style delivers a lighter tone than other recent Terminator comics.

Though The Terminator: Santa Claus is Coming to Town isn’t the Terminator vs. Santa silliness I wanted, it’s still an entertaining comic and a bit different to get you in the holiday mood.

The Terminator Celebrates the Holidays with The Terminator: Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Posted on by

The holiday season is quickly approaching, and this year The Terminator franchise shows fans a terrifying vision of the most wonderful time of the year! Paulina Ganucheau leads the way in a new comic book from Dynamite Entertainment and STUDIOCANAL. The Terminator: Santa Claus is Coming to Town releases this December!

Humanity is on the naughty list! In the war-torn apocalyptic future conquered by the forces of Skynet, Christmas Eve is far from festive. Yet even in the crumbling remains of civilization, with rubble and death around every corner, a scant few surviving elders of the Resistance carry the torch for the Christmas spirit. In between drone attacks, the younger members of the movement are eager to hear these heart-warming fables of Christmases past.

To these youngest in the vigilantly surviving human race, the stories of the jolly old man in his ruby-red robes who infiltrated the homes of everyone across the globe are especially intriguing. How did he avoid the sentries and guard dogs? What kind of exfiltration techniques was he using? Did he have glowing red eyes to match his fur-trimmed hat? How different was he from the hulking, mechanical monsters now advancing on their positions?

Writer Paulina Ganucheau and artist Kendall Goode are crafting the perfect Christmas present for fans of The Terminator. Across 28 story-stuffed pages, The team is rounded out with seasonal cover wrappings from Goode, Will Robson, Francesco Biagini, and Reese Hannigan.

The Books of Clash Vol. 5 is another fun volume of the series from the Goblin’s perspective!

All-Negro Comics commemorates 75 years with a Prestige Hardcover

Posted on by
All-Negro Comics

75 years ago journalist Orrin C. Evans led a talented team of cartoonists to create All-Negro Comics #1, the first comic book anthology of original Black characters created by Black talent with the express purpose of entertaining while rejecting harmful stereotypes and pushing boundaries in the industry. All-Negro Comics #1 returns via Kickstarter, with an archival reprint of the landmark artifact in sequential storytelling history, along with new stories by Black creators.

All-Negro Comics #1 was released in 1947, only eight years after Action Comics #1, six years after Captain America #1, and a whole 19 years before Black Panther hit the pages of Fantastic Four. All-Negro Comics #1 should be among those revered moments in comic book history, but the original print run was quickly removed from newsstands, and in the present day, Superman and Black Panther are recognized everywhere while All-Negro Comics is a factoid that cannot be easily found or read.  

Chris Robinson has assembled an incredible team of current creators to help. Multi-award-winning illustrator Tony Washington has digitally remastered the complete Golden Age comic, while new stories are contributed by Deron Bennett, David Brothers, Jasmine Hatcher, Ryan Marlow, Sharean Morishita, Shawn Pryor, and Zipporah B. Smith.

The All-Negro Comics 75th Anniversary Edition is an 88-page hardcover with brand new prose and comics, featuring the All-Negro Comics characters, by notable Black creators of today and new essays that provide historical and cultural context. 

Robinson also aims to make this hardcover available to communities everywhere through schools, libraries, and detention centers through multiple pledge tiers – a unique opportunity with this Kickstarter campaign. There are several ways to receive the book:  $20 for a digital PDF, $35 for hardcover, and a $50 pledge secures two copies in a “1 for you, 1 for them” initiative – one copy for the purchaser and one which the campaign team will donate to a community reading center with a bonus teaching guide. The top tier is a $75 pledge for an exclusive illustrated dust jacket, hand-numbered and signed by the contemporary creators plus a standard hardcover donated to a community reading center. Retailers will also have the opportunity for a bundle discount. A special $45 bundle includes the anniversary hardcover plus Fearless Future vol. 1 and vol. 2., two rare sci-fi anthologies featuring the early work of some of today’s brightest creators like Declan Shalvey, Ricardo Lopez-Ortiz, Paulina Ganucheau, Derek Fridolfs, Kendall Goode, Sebastian Girner, Ian Herring, and many more!
