Reading the reviews, a lot of people seem offended that this doesn't fit into canon of t2 and beyond. I don't mind, frankly. The original movie has always been my favorite, with t2 kind of taking the shine off the hopeful-ish ending. I like how this one is also open-ended. The story is Sarah's story, after all. John conner's story should be left to the imagination. Not to mention, the imagination can create horrors and war better than any comic or movie. The apocalyptic future is far more horrifying if we only know it as a nightmare. The extra uncertainty that this comic added makes it even scarier, but also more hopeful. The unchangable-causality-loop theory takes that away and makes everything far too static and hopeless for my mind. This a good addition to the canon of the first movie.
