The Terminator

The '90s were an era of amazing comic book crossovers. This was especially true at Dark Horse, where the licenses for Terminator, Predator, Aliens and even Robocop all resided at one time or another, giving the company the ability to mix and match these action film brands for some truly epic encounters. In fact, one such crossover was the impetus for a series of mini-series starring Detroit's number one lawbringer. Written by Frank Miller and drawn by Walt Simonson, Robocop vs. The Terminator played out like a fever dream from fans of the franchises, pitting the man formerly known as Alex Murphy against the entirety of Skynet in the future. The series was such a hit, it even spawned a set of video games for the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. Last summer, NECA continued its fan-favorite retro video game figure series with a collection based on the classic Robocop vs. The Terminator. The line provided a few different Robocops and a few different T-800 Endoskeletons and battle-damaged Terminators, all of which got paint schemes based on their 16-bit interpretations. However, outside of the proposed Terminator dogs (unreleased to this point), it seemed like NECA was finished with the license. Until this week.

When Funko announced that they'd be teaming with Super7 to mass produce and distribute the 3.75" ReAction line, it seemed fan dreams of owing toys in the style of Kenner's 1977 Star Wars figures across both classic and contemporary pop culture licenses were going to come true. Little did anyone know just HOW true. Thanks to new images at Entertainment Earth, collectors can now have a look at

Brandon Graham is no stranger to killer machines (both literal and surfer slang-ified) having illustrated any number of human/robot/cyborg variations within the pages of his critically-acclaimed "King City" and "Multiple Warheads" series. That's why the inclusion of the artist's pinup in the pages of Dark Horse Comics' upcoming "The Terminator: 1984" #2 is a match mad

It wasn't long ago that Joss Whedon made an offer to buy the rights to the "Terminator" franchise for the sarcastically low bid of $10,000. Now, his brother and "Dr. Horrible" collaborator Zack Whedon is picking up his pen to shape the future of the metallic mankind-killers via Dark Horse Comics...
