The Terminator: Santa Claus Is Coming to Town

In this 2025 one-shot from Dynamite Entertainment, the Terminator franchise takes a darkly comedic holiday turn as an unstoppable killing machine is dispatched to eliminate a seemingly ordinary mall Santa. The issue, written by Declan Shalvey and illustrated by Mattia Prosperini, pits the cold efficiency of a T-800 against the chaos of Christmas cheer. It's a brief, self-contained tale that proves even the most iconic sci-fi horror can find room for a twisted seasonal gag.
