With the holiday season rapidly approaching, it’s time for tie-in books, and this year The Terminator franchise shows fans a new and terrifying vision of the most wonderful time of the year. Dynamite has announced details for The Terminator: Santa Claus is Coming to Town, a Terminator Christmas special available this December. Looks like Robot Santa from Futurama has some competition this year!
Here’s how the publisher describes the issue:
In the war-torn apocalyptic future conquered by the forces of Skynet, Christmas Eve is far from festive. Yet even in the crumbling remains of civilization, with rubble, war and death around every corner, a scant few surviving elders of the Resistance carry the torch for the Christmas spirit. In between drone attacks, the younger members of the movement are eager to hear these heart-warming fables of Christmases past.
To these youngest in the vigilantly surviving human race, the stories of the jolly old man in his ruby-red robes who infiltrated the homes of everyone across the globe are especially intriguing. How did he avoid the sentries and guard dogs? What kind of exfiltration techniques was he using? Did he have glowing red eyes to match his fur-trimmed hat? How different was he from the hulking, mechanical monsters now advancing on their positions?
Crafting this Terminator Christmas special is writer Paulina Ganucheau (Disney Villains: Maleficent, The Powerpuff Girls) and artist Kendall Goode. Across 28 story-stuffed pages, they will tell stories of Christmas fear and cheer to warm the hearts of Terminator fans across the world.
The Christmas special will feature seasonal cover wrappings from Goode, Will Robson, Francesco Biagini, and Reese Hannigan. They can be seen below, and the book is now available for pre-order from your local comics shop.
