Details have emerged on what Zack Whedon’s Terminator Comic is going to be about.
We know that Kyle Reese will be sent from 2029 to 1984 to tackle a T-800. Zack’s comic rendition of the Terminator franchise shows us Kyle’s life prior to his going back in time.
The Dark Horse press release (after the break) says:
“In a brand-new series, Zack Whedon (Dr. Horrible, Deadwood, Fringe, Rubicon) brings his sharp writing skills to one of the most celebrated sci-fi properties in history to tell the story of a man struggling to live in a world with little food, water, or hope.
Never before has the iconic character from James Cameron’s first Terminator film been explored with such depth and humanity. Readers will have the opportunity to follow Kyle Reese and his closest allies as they face insurmountable odds in a world run by cold, calculating machines bent on destroying the last memory of what it means to be a human being.
In a world wrought with Hunter Killer Drones, T-600s, T-800s, H-Ks, and a host of other terrifying technology, a small band of friends must find a way to keep the resistance breathing amidst an eviscerated landscape devoid of nearly all life. Kyle Reese, the father of the future, leads these rebels with only the slightest promise of peace and the most basic of mortal codes—never give up.”
Andy MacDonald (NYC Mech, Punisher War Journal) will draw the two three-issue arcs, with covers by renowned illustrator Massimo Carnevale (Y: The Last Man).
The anticipated release date is March 2010.
