Written by: Joey Esposito, Special to CC2K

Dark Horse announced today that the publisher would be re-taking the Terminator license to commemorate the 25th anniversary of James Cameron's original film:

"In 1990, at the start of the boom of licensed comics, Dark Horse began publishing Terminator. Now, on the eve of the 25^th anniversary of the first Terminator film, Dark Horse is excited to announce the return of all new Terminator material for a whole new generation of fans!

With renewed interest in the property in both television and film, Dark Horse announced today its intent to begin creating new comics for release in conjunction with the film’s silver anniversary in 2009.

Rand Marlis, President of Creative Licensing Corporation who represents all Terminator tie-ins, said “I’m thrilled to be once again working with Dark Horse. They are a superb comic book company and really know the Terminator world. Our prior Dark Horse comics are classics and we look forward to more quality stories and art from the Dark Horse team.”

Dark Horse president and publisher, Mike Richardson stated “We've had great success with the ongoing saga of Sarah and John Connor in the past, and the worldwide interest in Terminator has us eager to begin a brand new series picking up where we left off.”

The publisher went on to say that the storyline is being developed and the creative team will be announced shortly.

Dark Horse’s successful Termintor Omnibus Vol. 1 & 2 are currently available at a retail price of $24.95."

What does this mean for Dynamite's recent Terminator 2 crapfest? That it's gone forever, hopefully. Stay tuned to CC2K for more!
