This article explores three unexpected comic book crossovers featuring the Terminator franchise.
The Terminator franchise has entertained audiences since the first film exploded into cinemas in 1984. The series blends hard-hitting action, groundbreaking special effects, and ruminations on such concepts as man vs. machine and fate vs. free will. While fans generally regard the first two installments as classics in the sci-fi and action genres, there’s a reason why studios continue to make sequels, prequels, spinoffs, and reboots – like the T-800, the series just won’t stop.
Just ask franchise creator James Cameron. And considering the enduring popularity of the unstoppable series, there’s no doubt that it will continue long after Cameron is long gone. However, while most fans of the Terminator are aware of the movies, TV shows, and video games, they may have overlooked multiple instances in which the infamous T-800 stomped into other unrelated comic book franchises. While some of these crossovers are pretty obvious, others are quite surprising, all of which feature their own unique tones and themes. Some of them worked better than others, but all of them are packed with imagination and ingenuity. Let’s take a look at three Terminator crossovers you completely forgot about. In the then-present year 1999, Sarah Connor and her son John have been on the run from T-800s sent from the future by Skynet to assassinate the young boy. While on their travels, the mother and son end up in Metropolis, where an attacking T-800 catches the attention of a nearby Superman, who handily destroys the machine. However, when Skynet tries to retrieve the damaged Terminator, they accidentally suck Superman into a time portal into the dystopian future of 2032, wherein Superman teams up with an aged John and Steel in their resistance movement. Written by Alan Grant of Judge Dredd-fame (who knows a thing or two about writing post-apocalyptic futures), this miniseries did a fairly nice job fleshing out the relationships between Superman and the Terminator characters
