Superman vs The Terminator
By Michael Vance
Look! Up in the sky!! It's a bird, it's a pla...no, it's a crossover of two characters co-published by competing companies!
Superman has been around for sixty-two years, and is unquestionably the most popular character in literature. Despite that, old Supes is like pork chops to me. I love pork chops, having eaten them for around forty-eight years, but there are days when I cannot stand to look at one.
This is an "I cannot stand to look at Superman" day. Terminators have also been around the block more than once. These androids never were the most popular characters in literature, and I grew weary of the murdering android concept years ago.
If you have gotten the creeping premonition that this title is not going to get a good review, bravo. You are very perceptive and have been around a block or two yourself.
There is nothing original in the plot. Naked androids keep arriving on the doorstep of a mother to kill her son who could change the future and eliminate them. That is the Terminator premise. Superman will stop them. That is the Superman premise. There are big fights.
There is nothing exciting or original in the art either, which is uneven. There are big, incorrectly drawn muscles. The artist could use a lesson or two in human anatomy.
The clever placement of smoke, rocks and other inanimate objects to hide the genitals on the incorrect anatomy of the androids is annoying.
Neither story nor art is terrible in Superman VS The Terminator. This is average, uninspired work meant to sell comic books on the strength of two popular characters.
Isn't it a shame they cannot sell more comics based on the strength of exceptional, inspired work?
Then again, maybe it just needs cheese sauce.
Superman VS The Terminator: Death to the Future is #1 of a 4-part series. It is 22 pages, priced at $2.95, and published by DC & Dark Horse Comics. Alan Grant did the writing and Steve Pugh penciled it. It is available in comics shops and by mail.
The second stop on our ''Highlights of Ephesus'' sightseeing excursion was the Ephesus Archaeological Site (Efes Ören Yeri). We entered through upper (south) gate, and began our sightseeing near the State Agora before proceeding along Curetes Street, which terminates in front of the famous Library of Celsus (Celsus Kütüphanesi), shown here. To the right of the library's facade is the Gate of Mazeus and Mithridates (Mazeus ve Mithridates Kapısı), which is only partially visible here.
A few details on these architectural marvels:
Library of Celsus
This impressive structure was not only a library, but it also housed the tomb of its namesake: Roman senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus. It was built by Celsus' son, Gaius Julius Aquila, and dates to the early 2nd century A.D. Construction began around 100 A.D. and was completed sometime between 110 and 117 A.D. (possibly as late as 135 A.D.).
The exterior was decorated with columns and pediments, and four niches displayed female statues representing Celsus' attributes: Sophia (ΣΟΦΙΑ) for wisdom; Arete (ΑΡΕΤΗ) for virtue/valor; Ennoia (ΈNNOIA) for understanding/intelligence; and Episteme (ΕΠΙΣΤΗΜΗ) for knowledge/science. The building contained more than 12,000 scrolls, which were stored in cupboards set inside niches within the three-story interior. The marble sarcophagus of Celsus was placed in a vaulted chamber located beneath the large semicircular niche at the center rear of the library.
Unfortunately, the library and its contents were destroyed by fire as a result of an earthquake around 260-270 A.D.; all that remained was the facade, which was later transformed into a Nymphaeum during the late Roman period (circa 400 A.D.). Another earthquake, possibly during the late Byzantine period, subsequently destroyed the facade. It remained in ruins until reconstruction efforts were undertaken during the 1970s, at which time the facade was rebuilt. (A nearby informational placard provides more details and images of the Library of Celsus.)
Gate of Mazeus and Mithridates
The monumental gate served as the entrance to the Tetragonos Agora (commercial marketplace) and was erected in honor of Emperor Augustus and his family. It was built in the 3rd or 4th century B.C. by two slaves, Mazeus and Mithridates, who were granted freedom by the emperor. Years later, the original design was altered by Emperor Nero, who added the elevated attic section along the top of the gate. The entire structure was destroyed during an earthquake in the 13th century, but it was subsequently excavated and rebuilt by the Austrian Archaeological Institute between 1980-89.
Brief History of Ephesus:
Ephesus -- known as Ἔφεσος in Greek and Efes in Turkish -- was an ancient Greek city on the coast of Ionia. It was originally established in the 10th century B.C. by Attic and Ionian Greek colonists. Ephesus flourished after it came under Roman control in 129 B.C., during which time it is estimated to have had a population of 33,500 to 56,000 people. It was renowned for its splendid architecture, including the Temple of Artemis (circa 550 B.C.), which was recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World until it was destroyed during a Goth raid in 268 A.D. During the Byzantine era (395-1308), Emperor Constantine I rebuilt much of the city and erected new public baths. The city was partially destroyed by an earthquake in 614 A.D. and was later sacked by Arabs during the mid 600s and early 700s. Its role as a commercial center declined as its harbor was slowly silted up by the Cayster River and the town lost its trade access to the Aegean Sea. Ephesus eventually fell under Turkish control; after a brief period of renewed prosperity and building during the early 14th century, the city was eventually abandoned by the 15th century. Excavations of the site were conducted by British archaeologists in the 1860s-70s, and later by German and Austrian architects in the 1890s. Today, the Austrian Archaeological Institute still continues ongoing conservation and restoration of Ephesus.
Terminator series T-800 exoskeleton standing on the future battlefield firing his laser mini Laser rail-gun at the human resistance!!
+/- 1,60 mtr tall.
Pure LEGO build even the wires i used are from LEGO sets
Containing about 10.000 bricks (estimate could be more or less).
It took about 2 months to build and a extreme dent in my poor wallet.
I Didn't use bricklink back then so i bought some Castle themed LEGO and a Star Wars Ship (and lots of other sets) which resulted in not the exact replica of the model also i didn't want it to have the factory offline look but a action pose.
Eyes are lit up with led.
Head can turn 35 degrees to left or right (remote controlled).
Mini Laser rail-gun has a lit up power gauge and firing light when turned on (remote controlled).
Jaw can open and close (manual).
Head-Chip can be removed (manual).
Chest Power-Cells can be removed (manual).
Nearly there. Obviously still needs a banner and a couple quick touch-ups here & there, but you get the idea.

Ginger's boyfriend turns up the volume on her Walkman while having sex so she doesn't answer the ringing phone. Phone was a warning call from the police that could've saved both their lives before Terminator arrives.

This shot of a computer screen popped up for a second or two on Friday, February 27's episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It's supposed to be a medical file, but the text is a direct copy from the Wikipedia article on insomnia. My favorite part is that it even has the "[edit]" next to a section title. :D
Psycannon thunder hammer terminator for my “counts as” Grey Knights army. I positioned the arms and torso to try and give the impression of sprinting across the battlefield.
This conversion combines Forgeworld’s fantastic Tartaros Terminator kit with components from the Grey Knight Terminators box and shoulder plates from the Space Marine Terminator Squad box.
INFO:
This short portion of the severed ex-Midland trackbed, takes you from north of Cudworth station up to its junction with the former Barnsley/Monk Bretton route, which now terminates at the Glass Works. The bridges behind the Cudworth site were demolished in 2014.
The ballast trackbed remains completely intact from further along, although somewhat more overgrown . A path has since taken shape alongside, so cyclists and walkers can feel safe to explore.
The embankment can be accessed north of the new A628 ring road.
A friend of mine Tyler modeled and painted this terminator from Warhammer 40k to sell on Ebay. Since it didn't sell on Ebay, Tyler gave the model to Steve, and after having it, gawking at it, and using it for a while, Steve might be Ebaying it using this picture.
I know, I know, it's a little geeky, but Warhammer is so cool!
