A TALE OF ICE — AND FIRE! Deep in the frozen wilderness of the Arctic Circle, a lonely satellite relay station is manned by a single research scientist. For years, the facility’s profound isolation has guaranteed the integrity of its top-secret operations — but all of that is about to change. Materializing out of the blinding snow, an intruder walks through every security measure the base can throw at it. As she watches the unstoppable figure approach, the lone researcher is faced with a stark choice: risk the station’s security in a last-ditch defense, or improvise a more permanent — and lethal — solution? Artist LUKE SPARROW reunites with authors DECLAN SHALVEY and RORY MCCONVILLE to finish their countdown to Judgement Day in The Terminator: Metal #5 — featuring concussive contributions from steely-eyed cover artists SHALVEY, BOB LAYTON, SEBASTIAN PIRIZ, and REESE HANNIGAN!
