Terminator: Metal (2025)

A TALE OF ICE — AND FIRE! Deep in the frozen wilderness of the Arctic Circle, a lonely satellite relay station is manned by a single research scientist. For years, the facility’s profound isolation has guaranteed the integrity of its top-secret operations — but all of that is about to change. Materializing out of the blinding snow, an intruder walks through every security measure the base can throw at it. As she watches the unstoppable figure approach, the lone researcher is faced with a stark choice: risk the station’s security in a last-ditch defense, or improvise a more permanent — and lethal — solution? Artist LUKE SPARROW reunites with authors DECLAN SHALVEY and RORY MCCONVILLE to finish their countdown to Judgement Day in The Terminator: Metal #5 — featuring concussive contributions from steely-eyed cover artists SHALVEY, BOB LAYTON, SEBASTIAN PIRIZ, and REESE HANNIGAN!

MISSION CREEP! The survivors of Judgement Day have fought heroically against Skynet’s untiring cybernetic killers, but fragile biology is inexorably giving way to implacable metal. If humanity is going to have any chance of achieving victory, the Resistance must start acting — and thinking — more like its enemy. But will the ruthlessly efficient tactics of the machines succeed in the hands of flesh-and-blood fighters? And if so, what will it end up costing them?Discover the top-secret answers in The Terminator: Metal #4, intercepted by intelligence officers DECLAN SHALVEY and RORY MCCONVILLE and expertly decoded by GIONA ZEFIRO — featuring additional image analysis by SHALVEY, BOB LAYTON, SEBASTIAN PIRIZ, and EMANUELE ERCOLANI!
