Robocop vs. the Terminator

[Babytoxie]

Who remembers this early-'90s miniseries? I have to admit, I wasn't much of a fan of either Dark Horse's licensed property books or their endless "vs." books, but this one was excellent. I had forgotten about it, but I found the trade at the used bookstore and had a great time reading it again. It's written by Frank Miller & illustrated by Walt Simonson. The story integrates the two properties very well and is worth checking out.

i rememeber the video game - was the game based off the comic ? somethign about robocop was the reason that skynet became self-aware and thats what set off judgement day and the future war ?

so, was that the last good think Frank Miller wrote?

Or does it just seem like it>

I never played the videogame, but what you describe is covered in the book. I believe the game was based on the book.

Well, let's see... I think Miller was gearing up his first Sin City storyline around then, and I thought that particular one was very cool, so I'd say not quite. But yes, it certainly does seem like it.
