Zack Whedon to Write a New Terminator Series for Dark Horse Comics

Techland.com, Time Magazine’s new technology, comics, gaming, and general geekery site, has revealed that Zack Whedon (brother of Joss, and one quarter of the writing team that created Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog) is currently working on a six issue Terminator series for Dark Horse Comics.

Zack says of his story:

I just turned in the first script and I’m very excited about it. I love Terminator. I think that movie is so good. Holy Toledo is it good. Now I get to play in that universe and make up Terminator stories of my own that people will get to read. I am not a big-time, famous dude and yet now I am choreographing action sequences set in a post-apocalyptic future overrun by evil cybernetic organisms hell bent on destroying the human race. How is that possible?! I’ll answer your question, Made-Up Person. It’s possible because in comics it doesn’t cost 150 million dollars to tell that story. They can put an idiot like me in charge!
