Website hosting fees are becoming more expensive every year. Hosting fees used to be reasonable, but the market has changed to where the first year is fine, but after that fees start to soar, and changing hosts frequently is a tedious and time-consuming process. And, unfortunately, the site ads aren't covering it, they're only worth fractions of a cent in most cases. If you can, please consider a small donation to PopApostle with the PayPal button below...any amount is appreciated. Thank you!

If donations are strong enough, I will eliminate the site ads.

This story opens in 2012, then moves to 2017, 1976, 2019, 2021, and 2025.

Didja Notice?

 

On page 2, Beckett mistakenly refers to Duggan as "Beckett"!

 

On page 3, Beckett uses the code word "Ragnarok" to get a response code word back from the approaching figure and gets the correct response of "Twilight" back, but she recognizes the figure as a rubber-skinned T-600 anyway, and she and the others frag it. Ragnarök is a Norse prophecy of forthcoming events of a great battle entailing the death of the gods and the end and rebirth of the world, also referred to as the Twilight of the Gods.

 

The rubber-skinned T-600 Terminators seen in this story are a callback to versions of this model in other timelines from earlier-published media, first mentioned in The Terminator, and first seen in the 1995 Termintor PC video game Future Shock.

 

Page 8 jumps to 1976 Austin, Texas

 

The T-600 endoskeleton skulls seen on page 20 look different than previous timeline iterations of the model. But that kind of goes with the territory in altered timelines.
T-600 skulls

 

The endoskeleton seen in manufacture on the last page of the issue looks to be the first T-800, in 2025.
