TERMINATOR: METAL #1

Writer: Declan Shalvey, Rory McConville

Artist: Lorenzo Re

Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment

Cover Price: $4.99

Release Date: October 22, 2025

KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE - AND YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER!

In the post-apocalyptic future that follows Judgment Day, the shattered remnants of humanity must make use of every tool they can in their existential battle against the machines - and that includes the deadliest weapons that Skynet sends to annihilate them.

For one member of the Resistance, this means trusting his life to a reprogrammed Terminator. Trapped behind enemy lines, the soldier and his repurposed engine of destruction must find a way to both survive and complete their mission - an undertaking with such a low probability of success that it could reboot the Terminator back to its default settings!
