Comicbook.com have announced that Dark Horse Comics are returning with new Terminator stories in the form of a new series titled ‘Terminator: Sector Wars’.
The series is set to toy with the idea that two T-800’s were sent back to 1984 (an idea even TheTerminatorFans.com have briefly touched upon to potentially explain Arnold Schwarzenegger’s aged appearance in the upcoming Terminator 6). Although as usual it doesn’t look like Schwarzenegger’s likeness will feature in the comics or if this particular T-800 sent to 1984 New York will survive the comic series or will be Terminated by the new hero ‘NYPD Officer Lucy Castro’.
It also looks like Dark Horse Comics is beating movie studios to having the first Latino Female Hero in the Terminator Universe with ‘Lucy Castro’ before the upcoming character of Dani Ramos is even introduced to fans officially in 2019’s new Terminator 2: Judgment Day sequel.
Official Terminator: Sector Wars Description/Synopsis:
“Many are familiar with the story of The Terminator’s time-traveling quest to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor in Los Angeles. Adding a new spin to the timeline, Terminator: Sector Wars follows a second Terminator sent to 1984 New York City to take out NYPD Officer Lucy Castro, a rookie cop assigned to one of the worst sections of the city. When she faces off against the relentless T-800, she will have to rely on unlikely allies to survive till dawn as the machine that never sleeps stalks his prey through the city that never sleeps.”
Comicbook.com additionally reports:
The new series is titled Terminator: Sector War and features writer Brian Wood (Aliens Defiance, Briggs Land) teaming up with artist Jeff Stokely (The Spire, Six-Gun Gorilla) taking fans back to the year 1984. This won’t be another retelling of the classic first film, however, as it is revealed there was a second Terminator sent back in time.
