The Terminator franchise is set to get festive this December as Dynamite Entertainment presents a terrifying vision of Christmas post-Judgment Day with the one-shot special The Terminator: Santa Claus is Coming to Town.
Humanity is on the naughty list! 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 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?
