Terminator Salvation: The Final Battle #7

The second chapter of J. Michael Straczynski and Pete Woods's twelve-part saga sets a punishing tone right from the cover: a squad of battered human soldiers opens fire against a looming Skynet structure bristling with Terminators, while crackling blue energy and muzzle flashes light up a bruised, apocalyptic sky. Dominating the upper half, a massive machine tower stares down with glowing red eyes as rows of endoskeletons stand ready — a visual that makes "Mutually Assured Destruction" feel less like a tagline and more like a promise. Pete Woods's linework captures both the grim desperation of the resistance fighters and the cold, mechanical menace arrayed against them, making this installment of The Final Battle a compelling piece of Dark Horse's ambitious Terminator saga.
