The Terminator (NOW 1988 Series)                                 Comics Lot
NOW Comics Complete Series – First series ever based on the Terminator movie!

The Year is 2031. It’s been three years since Skynet’s failed time-travel attempt to kill Sarah Connor. During these years, John Connor’s organized force of freedom fighters have been beaten back and reduced to rag-tag independent squads. Just south of Miami, Skynet has constructed a human replication complex–or Flesh Farm. The computer’s goal, being to breed a new race of mankind. A race that is machine sympathetic. A Florida based pocket of freedom fighters, nicknamed Sarah’s Slammers, has pledged to destroy this complex. With grim determination, but little in the way of firepower, they face this challenge–but it’s clear from the start that this is a hopeless crusade. As determined as they are, they need help. Big-time help.
