Heartless, mechanical cruelty meets dogged human courage and perseverance! In the aftermath of the events in James Cameron’s The Terminator (1984), John Connor sends a strike team into the past to destroy Cyberdyne, the company that will eventually create the world-controlling computer Skynet. But the machines counter by sending a team of Terminators to block the attempt—turning Los Angeles into a war zone!

The story in this volume, by John Arcudi and Chris Warner, paved the way for a rich parade of sequel tales. Also included in this volume: The Terminator: One Shot, by writer James Robinson and artist Matt Wagner! Introduction by John Arcudi.

Their only hope is to take the fight to Skynet's mainframe at Thunder Mountain."--Publisher description.
