Terminator Salvation: The Final Battle #2

Issue two of this twelve-part Dark Horse series makes good on its tagline — "The storm isn't on the horizon… it's here!" — with a cover that crackles with tension. Pete Woods renders a battle-scarred cyborg warrior facing off against a composed, clipboard-carrying woman in white, while massive mechanical arms loom overhead and an ominous silhouetted figure stalks the fiery background, skulls littering the foreground. With J. Michael Straczynski steering the story and Matthew Wilson's vivid colors setting the apocalyptic mood, this 2014 series is shaping up to be a worthy expansion of the Terminator: Salvation universe.
