The Terminator#1 – written by Declan Shalvey, with art by Luke Sparrow – does more than just make the T-800 physically threatening; it reminds readers that the relentless killing machines are a potent metaphor, representing the villain that gets all of us in the end, no matter what: time....

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Tracker season 2, episode 10After a slightly disappointing first episode of the second half ofTrackerseason 2, “Nightingale” is a perfect example of how to balance a case of the week with some insights into Colter’s unique skills and mysterious family past.Episode 9, “The Disciple”, was wonderfully creepy, but it also seemed to veer a little off-course when it came to highlighting Colter Shaw’s (Justin Hartley) specific skillset in tracking (and conspiracy-level survival training)....
