Writer Rory McConville continues his critically acclaimed tales of The Terminator here in unexpected fashion, following his series The Terminator: Metal. The star scribe of Spawn and Red Sonja brings the eye for action and science fiction twists to this fabled meeting.
"Archie crossovers hold a very special place in comics, so I'm thrilled to be writing the gang's first (maybe last?!) encounter with The Terminator," said writer Rory McConville. "Enrolling John Connor at Riverdale High felt like the perfect way to bring these two iconic franchises together and I can't wait for readers to see what we have in store."
Tackling the pulse-pounding pages inside the book is a heartwarming duo of Steven and Lily Butler. Longtime comics fans will know Butler for his beloved tenure on Spider-Man titles in the 1990s. His bibliography with Archie is deep, especially contributing to their Sonic the Hedgehog titles for years. In 1999 that same series publicly announced the birth of his daughter Lily. Now years later, the father and daughter duo are frequent artistic collaborators and in this series are set to balance the iconic house style of Riverdale with the threatening metal visage of The Terminator!
"When I got the invite to draw the Archie vs. The Terminator mini-series, I was deeply honored and excited at the same time," said artist Steven Butler. "I’ve always loved most the Archie stories that put the gang into some sort of overwhelming peril that they had to try to get themselves out of and now this mini-series gives us the opportunity to tell that kind of story I love so much! The icing on the cake is the fact that I get to work with my daughter Lily on this project — what more could a proud dad want?"
"This story marks my first time working for Dynamite, and working on a full miniseries," added artist Lily Butler. "I’m super excited to be working on characters that I’m very familiar with, like the Archie crew and other characters that are new to me. I think we’re working up a really cool project and I’m excited for everyone to see!"
Complementing the thrilling showdown inside the series, each issue of Archie vs. The Terminator features covers by a range of familiar favorites to both Dynamite and Archie readers, including Francesco Francavilla, Robert Hack, Björn Barends, and Bill Galvan. Fans can also get a mystery blind bag on the premiere issue, packed with limited editions selected randomly from a range of stunning variants.
This series follows the fan-favorite Archie X Army of Darkness crossover, which marked the first in a new era of continuing crossovers and collaborations between Dynamite Entertainment and Archie Comics.
