McConville and Shalvey co-wrote the time-travel crime series Time Before Time, published by Image Comics.
"While continuing to explore Skynet’s machinations throughout history, we’re also taking readers deeper into the Future War era than ever before,” McConville said in a statement accompanying the announcement. “Each issue will be a standalone tale that delves into the triumphs and tragedies of those caught in the eternal war with the machines, and the struggle to hold onto their humanity after the world has ended."
"Working on The Terminator has been one of the most challenging and satisfying projects of my career," added Shalvey. "Given the prospect of a new series, the opportunity for more ideas and different stories was too exciting to turn down. This time however, I knew I needed a trusted writer who could provide big concepts with emotional range on board with me in order to help me meet this new challenge. Thankfully, Rory McConville, my co-writer from our previous time-travelling series, was available to help me workshop this new playing field. With Metal, we're looking to apply the same approach as the previous series, but with more of a focus on the struggles during The Future War. The locations may be different, but the stark, emotive and desolate storytelling remains the same."
Dynamite Entertainment launched The Terminator in October 2024 (see “‘ThunderCats’ Writer Declan Shalvey to Helm New Terminator Series”), and the first issue was number 22 on the charts of the best selling comics, in both units and dollars, in its release month (see “Top 50 Comics – October 2024”).
