Series: Terminator 3

Summary

This is Volume 2 of the comic adaptation series released alongside the 2003 film Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. The story is set against the classic Terminator premise: after Judgment Day, the computer-controlled Skynet and its mechanical army of Terminators turn Earth into a battlefield humans can barely win, and survivors can only fight endless mechanical killers with flesh and blood amid the ruins. In this encounter the human resistance no longer merely flees; it tries to capture a Terminator and rewrite its programming, hoping to turn the killing machine's guns on its own kind for humanity's sake. This volume centers on that contest between humans and machines: on one side the resistance facing casualties and pursuit, on the other the Terminator treated as a "trophy"—is it merely a machine to be repaired, or can it be given a new "allegiance"? When people try to turn a machine into a comrade, what is really tested is often humanity's own convictions and limits. This is Volume 2 of the series, continuing the worldview and character threads of the previous volume while remaining followable on its own.

Editor's review

《终结者》系列最动人的设定是人与机器的对抗与纠缠。这部漫画没有停留在简单的追逃戏码上，而是把镜头对准抵抗军内部：当人类不得不去修复、甚至“说服”一台终结者时，恐惧与利用之间的界限会变得非常模糊。对喜欢科幻漫画的读者来说，这是一部节奏紧凑、设定扎实的作品：机器军团的压迫感、末日废墟的氛围、人类在绝境中的选择，都能在有限的篇幅里得到呈现。本卷承接前卷，叙事上更加偏向人与机械博弈的层面，适合把它当作系列中的中段章节来读。译介版本资料有限，图书信息以实际印本为准。

FAQ

这本漫画是电影《终结者3》的逐格改编吗？

从现有资料看，2003年前后围绕电影《终结者3》出版过多个漫画系列，既有对电影情节的改编，也有补充电影未展开的支线故事。本卷属于该系列第2卷，具体与电影的对应关系受版本资料限制，建议以手中实物的内页说明为准。

没看过第1卷能直接读这一卷吗？

可以读，但本卷延续前卷的人物与事件线索。若先补读第1卷，对抵抗军为何要捕获并改造终结者会有更清楚的理解。

这是漫威出版的《终结者3》漫画吗？

网上有资料将《终结者3》漫画标注为Marvel Comics作品，但2003年围绕电影的漫画实际涉及多家出版方。不同版本、不同辑次的归属可能不同，建议以版权页信息确认。

About the author

Marvel Comics Author

Marvel Comics is the collective credit commonly used for Marvel comic works; it is closer to a brand and a creative and publishing system than to an identifiable individual author, so public information is limited and nothing can be said about birth and death years, nationality, or personal history. The library holds thirty-seven of its works, covering comics and cartoons, film and television originals, fiction, and children's books. These range from grand superhero narratives such as Iron Man: Extremis and Infinity: Against the Tide to stories with martial-arts and futuristic flavors such as The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu and Spider-Man 2099, as well as crossovers like Eminem and The Punisher. The overall style is marked by fast-paced action and adventure, vivid hero ensembles, and interconnections across works, through which readers can glimpse the diverse face of the Marvel universe.
