The Terminator Celebrates Valentine’s Day Early!

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.

English writer Dan Watters has skyrocketed into the stratosphere himself in recent years, unlike the satellite in his latest story. One of the breakout hits of the last year, Batman: Dark Patterns, has been followed by dual runs on the critically acclaimed Nightwing and the just about to launch Spider-Woman. Now for his first-ever work with Dynamite Entertainment fully in the cockpit, following a co-writing collaboration with Si Spurrier on The Shadow, he’s taking on a top tier franchise in The Terminator.

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.
