The holidays are just around the corner, but this December, the Terminator franchise is putting a chilling twist on the season of cheer. Dynamite Entertainment and STUDIOCANAL are teaming with writer Paulina Ganucheau for The Terminator: Santa Claus is Coming to Town—a one-shot that fuses festive tradition with post-apocalyptic horror.
In a future where Skynet has crushed humanity, Christmas Eve offers little comfort. The Resistance is fractured and bloodied, yet a handful of elders still cling to the memory of holiday stories, passing them down to the younger survivors between drone raids. For children who have never seen peace, the legend of Santa Claus—an unstoppable figure in red who infiltrates homes across the globe—is more than just a fable. Was he using advanced infiltration tactics? Did his glowing red eyes help him slip past defenses? And is the myth all that different from the machines hunting them now?
Rising star Paulina Ganucheau (Disney Villains: Maleficent, The Powerpuff Girls) teams with artist Kendall Goode for this 28-page holiday horror special. Wrapped up with variant covers from Goode, Will Robson, Francesco Biagini, and Reese Hannigan, it’s a nightmare before Christmas like only The Terminator can deliver.
