Terminator: Enemy of My Enemy #1

Dark Horse launches this six-issue miniseries with a cover that pulls no punches: a silhouetted T-800 with glowing red eyes unloads an assault rifle at close range, spent casings flying, red smoke swirling around figures caught in the crossfire. Writer Dan Jolley, artist Jamal Igle, and colorist Ray Snyder set a propulsive tone right from the start, with the tagline "There's a new T-800 in town… with no Kyle Reese to stop it!" promising a fresh and dangerous angle on the Terminator mythos. If you've been looking for a Terminator story that puts its protagonist in an especially precarious position, this 2014 series looks like a compelling place to start.
