Series: Terminator 3

Summary

This is Volume 4 of the Terminator 3 comic series, corresponding to Part Two of "Eyes of the Rise," the 2003 comic adaptation of the film Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, originally published in 2003 by Beckett Entertainment Comics. The story remains set in the world of the film Terminator 3: Judgment Day, which should have been prevented a decade earlier, was never truly averted; Skynet again sends its newest Terminator model, the T-X, back through time to hunt down John Connor, now grown into the leader of the Resistance. Meanwhile, a Terminator appearing as a T-850 (with a Model 101 exterior) sides with humanity as Connor's guardian. Unlike earlier adaptations, "Eyes of the Rise" hands the narrative perspective to the machines—viewing the hunt through the T-X's sensors and decision logic—and fills in scenes cut or glossed over in the film. The pursuit, ambushes, and firefights continue throughout this volume, drawing in characters such as Kate Brewster and General Robert Brewster. Readers see how a cold execution program calculates targets and assesses threats, and how the motif "the future is not set" is retold from the machine's viewpoint. This is Volume 4 of the Terminator 3 series; read together with the preceding and following volumes, it completes the full picture of this adaptation.

Editor's review

如果你看过电影《终结者3》，却总觉得T-X只是「更漂亮、更狠」的升级版反派，这一卷会给你另一种观感：编剧迈尔斯·冈特把镜头交给机器，让猎杀从「被追者的恐惧」变成「追杀者的运算」。画面由迈克·霍桑执笔，线条干净、动作分解清楚，机械质感与人体质感分得开，追车与近身格斗的节奏都落在纸上；里克·雷门德的勾线和朱莉娅·布鲁斯科的配色，让冷蓝与警示红成为整卷的情绪基调。对老影迷而言，最有价值的不是复述剧情，而是那些电影里没有展开的段落——T-X如何筛选目标、如何伪装、如何在任务优先级之间切换。作为系列第4卷，它承接前一部分的铺垫，也把张力推向收束，单卷可读，连读更完整。适合把它当作一次「从机器眼里重看电影」的尝试。

Who it's for

《终结者》系列电影的影迷，尤其是喜欢T-X、T-850设定的读者
喜欢机械、赛博朋克与冷硬科幻画风的欧美漫画读者
对「改编漫画如何补足电影叙事」感兴趣的影像与漫画研究者
想收藏2003年电影同期改编漫画的爱好者

Not a good fit for

对机器人追杀、枪战与机械损伤画面较敏感的读者
偏好日式分镜与细腻人物情感描写的漫画读者

Reading tips

建议先看《终结者3：机器的觉醒》电影，再读本卷，能体会到「机器视角」带来的差异。
按系列顺序从第1卷读起，本卷是「Eyes of the Rise」的后半部分，单读会缺少前情铺垫。
阅读时留意画面中的传感器界面、瞄准框与数据标注，它们是这套改编叙事的「第二语言」。
可把本卷与系列中「Fragmented」部分对读，比较两种不同的机器叙事视角。

FAQ

这一卷是漫威出的《终结者3》吗？

并非。2003年与电影同期的《终结者3》改编漫画由Beckett Entertainment Comics取得授权出版，共六期，分为「Before the Rise」「Eyes of the Rise」「Fragmented」三个故事。漫威拿到的是1991年《终结者2：审判日》的改编授权。网络上不少资料把《终结者3》漫画署名为「Marvel Comics」，属于误传。

第4卷讲的是哪一段故事？

对应2003年《终结者3》系列第4期，是「Eyes of the Rise（崛起之眼）」的第二部分。故事仍旧围绕T-X追杀约翰·康纳展开，但叙述视角放在T-X一方，同时补入电影中被删减的情节片段，由迈尔斯·冈特编剧、迈克·霍桑绘制。

没读过前三卷能直接读第4卷吗？

可以读，但会损失不少上下文。本卷是两期连续故事的后半，人物关系与追猎进程在前一卷已经铺开；建议至少先读第3卷，或按系列顺序通读，体验会更完整。

这本书有中文正式出版版本吗？

目前未能核实到该系列漫画的中文正式出版物信息（出版社、出版年、ISBN、定价等）。中文网络流传的多为汉化或转载版本，本页事实字段因此留空，未作推测填写。

About the author

Miles Gunter Author

Miles Gunter is a foreign author about whom little is known; publicly available information is limited, and at present it is known only that one of his works has been translated for the Chinese book market, namely Terminator 3, Volume 4. Judging from the title and its common classification, the work falls under foreign literature and most likely unfolds its narrative within the science-fiction world of the Terminator film series, showing clear characteristics of genre fiction. Such works typically take future technology, human-machine conflict, and apocalyptic crisis as their themes, emphasizing action sequences and plot momentum, and appeal mainly to fans of science fiction and media tie-in fiction. Because only this one work is held in the collection and information on the author's life, creative career, and full body of work is lacking, it is difficult to form a full judgment of his overall writing style. On the basis of the available material, Gunter's introduction into Chinese remains at an early stage, and his work offers Chinese readers a concrete entry point for understanding related science-fiction adaptation texts; further research awaits more material.

Mike Hawthorne Author

Mike Hawthorne is a comics creator whose publicly available biographical information is limited; the existing Chinese-language materials can only sketch his creative profile on the basis of the works held in the database. Four of his works are included: Action Comics #27 (The New 52), Action Comics #23.1: Cyborg Superman, and Terminator 3 volumes 1 and 4. In terms of subject matter, his work spans two categories: superhero comics and comics adapted from film and television. The former draws on the Action Comics series, involving a New 52-era Superman story and the character Cyborg Superman; the latter is based on the film world of Terminator 3. On the book site, these works are classified under art, film and television, film and television originals, literature, and foreign literature, indicating that his artwork serves both comics readers and film and television enthusiasts. Because his dates of birth and death, nationality, and specific experiences cannot be confirmed, no speculation is offered here; the entry presents only his cross-genre comics work.
