REVIEWS

STEPHEN
TERMINATOR: METAL #1
Writer: Declan Shalvey, Rory McConville
Artist: Lorenzo Re
Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment
Cover Price: $4.99
Release Date: October 22, 2025
KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE – AND YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER!
In the post-apocalyptic future that follows Judgment Day, the shattered remnants of humanity must make use of every tool they can in their existential battle against the machines – and that includes the deadliest weapons that Skynet sends to annihilate them.

For one member of the Resistance, this means trusting his life to a reprogrammed Terminator. Trapped behind enemy lines, the soldier and his repurposed engine of destruction must find a way to both survive and complete their mission – an undertaking with such a low probability of success that it could reboot the Terminator back to its default settings!

BIKER MICE FROM MARS #5
Writer: Matt Hotson
Artist: Jordi Tarragona
Publisher: Oni Press
Cover Price: $4.99
Release Date: October 29, 2025
The Biker Mice are back in action against their most formidable adversary yet: Detonator the Cruel, the former RoboForce member turned merciless hit-bot who’s wired to wound everything he comes into contact with! This new threat emerges as the alien Plutarkians intensify their Mars takeover, bringing chaos and destruction to the Red Planet. Our trio of motorcycle-riding heroes—Throttle, Modo, and Vinnie—must do their very best to stop Detonator from completing his mission of murder when he targets Dr. Hawwki, the off-worlder scientist whose research could turn the tide against the Plutarkians, for total termination. The worlds of Biker Mice: Mars!—and RoboForce: Earth!—collide in a bold new chapter crafted by new ongoing series writer Matt Hotson (Power Rangers: The Return) and artist extraordinaire Jordi Tarragona (Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps)!”

Something terrifying is reshaping the very fabric of the city of Detroit – and everyone in it. Living bodies twist and warp while the streets beneath their feet distort and crystallize, scrawling a grotesque new design on the face of the world. Nobody knows why… and a violent compulsion to make sense of this altered state is taking hold of everyone caught on the inside…
