Terminator: Secondary Objectives #3

Terminator: Secondary Objectives #3 was published by Dark Horse Comics in 1991 as part of a four-issue limited series that expanded upon the lore established by the first Terminator film. Set in a post-apocalyptic timeline, the series follows the rogue T-800 unit intended to eliminate human resistance leaders. It emerged during a prolific period for Dark Horse, which utilized its licensing deals to bridge the gap between film sequels through serialized comic narratives.

The issue features art by Paul Guinan and a script by James Robinson, who sought to capture the gritty, industrial aesthetic of the cinematic source material while exploring the tactical coldness of the machines. The series was generally well-received by fans of the franchise for its commitment to the bleak tone of the original films, helping to establish the high standard for licensed science fiction comics in the early nineties.
