The Terminator wreaks havoc in 2008.
Didja Notice?
Cover A has a Terminator holding what appears to be a
Mini-Uzi submachine gun.
Page 3 repeats the scene from the last page of
"Time to Kill" Part 1,
but the dialog is slightly different and Jane is wearing
completely different clothes!
The NYPD patrol vehicles depicted throughout this
mini-series do not look particularly like the actual
cruisers used by the real world NYPD; for one thing, the
NYPD logo here is red instead of blue.
On page 9, the Terminator smashes the storefront window of a
costume shop to steal clothing. One of the mannequins in the
window appears to be wearing a Batgirl-like costume.
Page 11 reveals the "present day" scenes take place in 2008.
Page 12 suggests that the punk rock daughter in the
apartment stormed by the Terminator was named Heidi: the
Terminator uses a computer in her bedroom and the door
appears to have the name "Heidi" at the top. This is later
confirmed when one of the neighbors refers to the couple's
children in the apartment as Justin and Heidi.
A poster for the Kings of Brixton hangs in the Heidi
bedroom. This appears to be a fictitious punk rock band. A
number of punk bands have written songs about riots and law
enforcement violence that took place in the London borough
of Brixton in the 1980s and '90s.
As the Terminator uses the computer on page 15, she is seen
to look up Cyberdyne Systems. In the Rise of the
Machines timeline, Cyberdyne Systems would not
exist anymore at this point, being the military-run Cyber
Research Systems instead. This is a further indication that
this is an altered timeline from that of either
Judgment Day or
Rise of the
Machines (as discussed in the study of
"Time to Kill" Part 1). She is also seen looking at online
maps of the areas around Tulsa, OK and Los Angeles, CA. Los
Angeles makes sense since she expected to have been
chronoported there, but why Tulsa? The story takes place in
New York!
On page 19, Maureen tells her men she wants everyone
available called in on the Terminator hunt, including
Homeland and an E.M.S. crew. "Homeland" is a reference to
the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security.
E.M.S. stands for "emergency medical services".
