THE TERMINATOR #1-7 (Declan Shalvey / collectif)

Dynamite Entertainment a récupéré les droits de la saga Terminator, jusque là détenus par Dark Horse (qui n’avait plus publié de série dans cet univers depuis 2019).

Les premiers titres seront bientôt annoncés, juste à temps pour fêter les 40 ans de la sortie du premier Terminator de James Cameron.

Declan Shalvey sera au scénario de la première série Terminator de l’éditeur Dynamite.

« The approach of this series is new situations, new dilemmas in each issue. Mostly done-in-one stories, but as the series progresses there may be some recognizable faces…, » said writer Declan Shalvey. « We’re going for a more stripped-down, pulpy approach to the book. As innovative and groundbreaking as the first film was, it was also grounded in its environment, being noirish and moody as hell. An unstoppable force is coming to kill you — that’s the element of the franchise I want to lean into. »

"The plans to kill Sarah Connor and her son John have failed, but that isn’t going to stop the genocidal Skynet. If at first it doesn’t succeed, it’s going to expand the theater of operations. There are still a few more avenues into the past to try that will allow it to eliminate the human resistance before it even starts. Skynet and its Terminators are determined to stamp out these pivotal figures in history before they lead to their processors being smashed into silicon shrapnel.

"This new front in the time war comes with Terminators dispatched all across the globe and throughout time to target not only current resistance fighters but also their ancestors, as well as any unlucky souls caught in the crossfire. Though at first it may not seem that this wide range of secondary objectives are as straightforward or critical as the original missions of the T-800 and T-1000, the sheer scope of this new warfare defies that. Time is literally on Skynet’s side — when all of history becomes a war zone, suddenly nowhere — and no-when is safe!

"Acclaimed creator Declan Shalvey is back on board in the present for what is sure to be another hit project with Dynamite, following the massive, industry-shaking success of ThunderCats. This time the Alien, Old Dog, and Time Before Time writer is joined by rising star artist Luke Sparrow (Star Trek, Old Dog: Operations). The duo are locked in and ready to unleash all-new tales of Skynet and its nigh-unstoppable mechanical assassins.

« They’re paired with algorithmically perfect covers from Shalvey himself, as well as Edwin Galmon, Joshua « Sway » Swaby, and David Cousens. The first issue of the upcoming series also features a stunning « Icon Cover » for collectors to grab, presenting the iconic artwork by Alex Ross early in his career for the « Burning Earth » storyline. »

The Terminator #1 by Declan Shalvey and Luke Sparrow will be published by Dynamite Entertainment in October.

Publisher Description. The plans to kill Sarah Connor and her son John have failed, but the genocidal Skynet isn’t out of options yet. There are still a few more avenues into the past that will allow it to destroy the human resistance that is poised to smash its processors into silicon shrapnel — it just needs to expand its theater of operations.

Opening a new front in the war, Terminators are dispatched across the globe and throughout time to target current resistance fighters, their ancestors, and anyone else unlucky enough to be in the strike zones. And while none of these secondary assignments are as straightforward as the missions of the first T-800 and T-1000, time is literally on the machines’ side. When all of history becomes a war zone, nowhere — and nowhen — is safe!

Acclaimed creator Declan Shalvey (ThunderCats, Old Dog) returns to the present for another blockbuster Dynamite series, joining rising star artist Luke Sparrow (Star Trek) for all-new tales of Skynet and its nigh-unstoppable mechanical assassins — all supported by algorithmically perfect covers from Declan Shalvey, Edwin Galmon, Sway, and David Cousens.

Visuellement, ça claque. On sent que Dynamite soigne ses intérieurs depuis quelques temps déjà.

Saigon, 1975-The war is winding down, and American forces are in retreat. One G.I. is enjoying his final leave in South Vietnam’s capital city when he is urgently recalled to the front. Back on the line, Private Duggan finds that his sector is being overrun by a mysterious enemy force one that doesn’t operate like any Viet Cong or NVA unit he’s ever faced.
As rumors spread through the ranks about a « one-man Charlie platoon, » Duggan and his squad suddenly come under murderous fire. Through the thick jungle air the trapped men spy their attacker a lone figure, seemingly impervious to bullets and grenades, completely devoid of fear or hesitation. Implacable. Inescapable. Inhuman.

It’s the last days of the Vietnam War, and the scale of the violence and destruction that have been unleashed seems unreal. But nothing that Private Duggan has experienced in battle could have prepared him for the thing that just tore his squad to ribbons and then walked through the hellish fire of an airstrike seemingly unscathed.

If there is some way to kill it, Duggan isn’t sticking around to find out. Now on the run, the lone soldier desperately makes his way through the collapsing country to join the U.S. Army’s final evacuation back to the States - but will the chaos and crowds of Saigon be enough to thwart the unrelenting force that is hunting him?

Writer DECLAN SHALVEY and artist DAVID O’SULLIVAN bring a sharp new perspective on the horrors of war with The Terminator #3, featuring suitably steely covers from SHALVEY, EDWIN GALMON, DREW MOSS, and DAVID COUSENS!

Je reste intrigué par la proposition de Shalvey. Surtout que les prochains épisodes laissent voir une aventure dans l’espace.
Je ne connais pas bien ce qui a été fait jusque-là en BD, mais l’idée d’étendre la menance Skynet au-delà de la Terre, c’est intriguant.

The year is 1986, and the Cold War is at its height. Across the globe, American and Soviet submarines play a deadly game of cat and mouse, hidden deep beneath the surface of the world’s oceans. Armed with enough firepower to destroy a continent, these vessels are among the remote and secure locations on the planet.

They’re also one of the most tempting targets imaginable for an enemy who can see the future - particularly one that wants more than anything to set off a nuclear holocaust!

4ème dessinateur en 5 épisodes…ils ont vraiment du mal à trouver de la stabilité sur ce titre chez Dynamite…

As the first generation of human-mimicking Infiltrators deployed by Skynet against the Resistance, the T-600s displayed all of the problems that come from rushing a prototype into production. Covered in unconvincing rubber skin and lacking any organic components, they were easily detected and destroyed.

But if there’s one thing that Skynet is good at, it’s learning from its mistakes. And as the historic tales in this pivotal issue demonstrate, every T-600’s mission - no matter the outcome - brought the lethal T-800s one step closer to activation!

Everyone knows that in the year 2029, John Conner led the Resistance to victory, smashing Skynet’s defense grid and defeating the machines once and for all. His mother had trained him from birth to be the perfect soldier and leader that the remnants of humanity needed in their darkest hour.

But who did John Conner turn to for guidance when his mother was gone, and the Hunter-Seekers and Terminators had humanity on the ropes? One person in particular became a mentor to Conner in his darkest hour - someone whose own fight against the machines has gone on longer than anyone’s!
