Review: Terminator: Enemy of My Enemy #1

By James Anders II

Let us return to the time of 1985. It was a time when guys wore skinny ties, women wore enough hair spray to tear a hole in the ozone layer, and both danced it up at clubs called Tech Noir. It was also a time when the world was introduced to a T-800 Terminator, the most powerful and destructive killing machine that the world had ever seen at the time.  Thus began the ongoing saga of The Terminator that is still kicking strong some 29 years later.
Enemy of my Enemy is a mini that is being released that doesn’t change anything in the Terminator continuum, but it adds an additional element to the tapestry. It just happens to take place in 1985, about the same time that the first Terminator movie was wrapping up.
In a totally different locale (The east coast), we are introduced to a former CIA agent and current bounty hunter named Farrow Greene. The story wastes no time in demonstrating that Greene is hardcore in her work (and ripped up in her physique). She obviously can handle trouble. Greene is given a job to hunt down a diminutive and mousy doctor named Elise Fong. She is told that capturing Fong will go a long way in helping her “reach her goal”. What goal, we have no clue. But, Greene takes the case and finds Fong rather quickly. Unfortunately, there is another hulking hunter out to get Dr. Fong as well, and it doesn’t look like bringing her in is part of his agenda. Action ensues and Greene shows that she can take care of things, but a Terminator is a Terminator and with her first encounter, she has questions. Also, Dr. Fong gets away.
