HUMANITY IS ON THE NAUGHTY LIST!
It’s Christmas Eve in Skynet’s apocalyptic future, and the atmosphere is pretty far from festive. But even in the blasted rubble of civilization, the surviving elders of the Resistance have fond memories of the holiday — and in between drone attacks, the younger members are eager to hear about them.
The story of the jolly old man in a red suit who infiltrated people’s perimeters is especially intriguing. How did he avoid the sentries and guard dogs? What kind of exfiltration technique was he using? And most important, did he have glowing red eyes that matched his fur-trimmed h more
Santa-as-killer has been a fixture of holiday horror, and yutide homicide for a very long time. The fusion between Santa Claus and a classic T-800 terminator unit feels like a very natural fusion. And, honestly, although it really is just sort of a one joke idea, Ganucheau does a brilliant job of making it run the entire length of a full-length issue.

It might have all of the thematic weight of a light, stocking stuffer, but Ganucheau and company deliver something that feels quite a bit more resonant than the cheap bit of gimmickry it could have been.

The Terminator: Santa Claus is Coming to Town #1 is an excellent holiday tie in, that captures not just the holiday season, but also The Terminator franchise. Where a lot of holiday specials feel forced and sacrifice either the holiday part or the actual franchise part, this issue nails both. If you are looking for a great holiday book at the LCS this week, you should definitely grab a copy for yourself and the Christmas lovers in your circle. Read Full Review

This one-shot stands tall. It's entertaining, emotional, violent, funny, and absolutely unhinged in the best way. If your holiday season ever feels rough, just remember: at least you're not running from a homicidal Santa-bot with glowing red eyes. Read Full Review
Though The Terminator: Santa Claus is Coming to Town isn't the Terminator vs. Santa silliness I wanted, it's still an entertaining comic and a bit different to get you in the holiday mood. Read Full Review
Fighting terminators is usually a bloody and serious business. And certainly there are no shortage of gratuitous deaths in The Terminator: Santa Claus is Coming to Town #1. But it also manages to be a strangely lighthearted story talking about some of the holidays fun traditions. By no stretch is it required reading for Terminator fans. But its a nice entry for fans of holiday comics. Read Full Review
A strange story about the appearance of a terminator with an unknown purpose on the eve of a holiday. Who was subsequently eliminated with a huge laser cannon by a rebel squad. It's probably funny.
Seriously, Christians, enough with Santa!
