The original Terminator story told how in the near future, man’s killing machines ran out of control and began killing all of humanity. They killed millions, but humans, under the leadership of John Connor, began to turn the tide of battle. The killing machines, dubbed terminators, would not be defeated, and traveled back in time to kill John Connor before he was even born.

In this prequel to the original story, the terminators’ master computer network, SkyNet, bands together with its Russian counterpart, Mir. It uses the information it finds there to infiltrate Russian troops with terminator facsimiles of killed or captured human rebels. Originally created as a Cold War deterrent to Mir, SkyNet is now its deadly ally in a war to end mankind.

Story/Spoilers
First in issue #1, In the 21st Century, Skynet and its Terminators are on the brink of defeat at the hands of John Connor. Meanwhile, half a world away in the wreckage of the Soviet Union, a second sentient computer network carries out Skynet’s deadly mission; when Skynet falls, its comrades will continue the systematic extermination of mankind. And a new breed of infiltration unit has been created to penetrate the Soviet resistance: Terminators copied from real people. They have the same faces, fingerprints, memories, and personalities of their human counterparts, plus “stealth” circuitry that makes them impossible to detect. They could be anywhere. They could be anyone. And no one will know… until it’s too late!

Next in issue #2, A new breed of Terminator threatens humanity’s survival in the shattered landscape of the 21st Century. Copied from human subjects, and utilizing advanced “stealth” technology, these lethal infiltration units are virtually undetectable. As the war between man and machine reaches a crescendo, rebels in the Soviet Union discover a lost nuclear sub with a full complement of ICBMs, enough to finish Skynet or the human resistance, should the missiles fall into Skynet’s hands!

Finally in issue #3, As a Soviet commando team prepares to launch the world’s last remaining nuclear weapons against the killing computers of Skynet, an assault team of Terminators – led by undetectable “stealth” units that copy real people in every detail–makes a desperate attempt to seize the missiles and use them to destroy the human resistance. Soviet commando Larisa Bandera becomes convinced that the former KGB missile technician needed to launch the missiles is not what he seems. As time runs out, Bandera is faced with a terrible dilemma: if she kills the technician, will she be protecting the missiles from a Terminator, or – if she’s wrong – protecting the Terminators from the missiles?
