The comic-book licenses to the various Terminator films have been held by different companies at different times, which is why there are so many disparate comics series.
If you're looking for any of these books and comics, you should try a local used bookstore or comic shop. Otherwise, you might have some luck at an online auction site like eBay.com, or an online comic shop like Mile High Comics or Things From Another World.

T2: Infiltrator by S.M. Stirling. Hardcover published by HarperCollins Books, April, 2001 (ISBN 0380977915); paperback published by HarperCollins Books April, 2002 (ISBN 0380808161).
From the T2: Infiltrator web page at HarperCollins.com:
Sarah Connor and her son, John, know the grim tomorrow that awaits their species if the Cyberdyne Corporation gets their Skynet system on-line. Targeted for annihilation because of their future destinies, the Connors have already survived two separate attempts on their lives by advanced Terminator killing machines. But enough T-800 detritus remains from their last life-and- death struggle to enable Cyberdyne to recover. The nightmare is back on track. And the most fearsome and relentless cyborg weapon of all has been dispatched through time to ensure Skynet's victory: a machine so like its human prey that detection is virtually impossible.
Considered a dangerous terrorist by the U.S. government and hiding out in Paraguay, Sarah sees another T-800 similar to the cybernetic killer from whom she once narrowly escaped. But while his form and features will eventually be duplicated on many Terminator units, former counter terrorism operative Dieter von Rossback is very much a man, irresistibly drawn to the puzzling, beautiful, deadly serious Sarah Connor and her brilliant teenage son. And once Sarah reveals her dark history and awakens him to the impending possible extermination of all human life, Dieter is drawn to her revolution as well.
But the machine masters of the near future have ensured that they will not be thwarted again. A new breed of enforcer, on designed to effortlessly infiltrate the ranks of the enemy, has been firmly entrenched in the uppermost level of Cyberdyne Corporation. With a vengeance-seeking FBI agent on a tight leash and the inexhaustible resources of Cyberdyne to support the hunt for the Connors and their allies, the 1-950 Infiltrator is relentless, programmed to pursue Skynet's goal until all targets are dead. But unlike its technological predecessors, the Infiltrator understands how humans think and feel...and she truly enjoys the blood and the chase. Exploding out of the long shadows cast by Terminator 2: Judgment Day--the cinematic action masterwork that rocked the world- T2: Infiltrator marks a bold new beginning in the stunning apocalyptic epic that has already become a legend. |

T2: Rising Storm by S.M. Stirling. HarperCollins Books. Hardcover published July, 2002 (ISBN 0380977923), paperback published May, 2003 (ISBN 038080817X).
From the T2: Rising Storm web page at HarperCollins.com:
Hunted for years, Sarah and John Connor have waged a grave battle to save humanity from destruction. They and they alone can keep the apocalyptic Judgment Day--the day when sentient machines move to destroy their human creators--from occurring. Aided by Dieter von Rossbach, an ex- counterterrorism operative who will eventually be used as the physical model for the T-101 Terminator units, the Connors have sabotaged the Cyberdyne research facility and stopped a deadly I-950 Infiltrator unit from completing her mission.
But the war is far from over, and now the heroes have been separated.
Severely injured--both mentally and physically--and recuperating under military surveillance, Sarah Connor must face her deepest fears...alone. Meanwhile, von Rossbach, hunted by both the CIA and his former allies, begins a delicate mission to recruit supporters and arms support for the coming battle.
Aided by a beautiful and brilliant MIT student, John Connor starts a desperate campaign across the United States and Central America to prepare an unsuspecting human race for the dark times ahead. For the original I-950 Infiltrator unit left a contingency plan--and, unbeknownst to our heroes, more Infiltrators have initiated their own clandestine operations, including the hunt to terminate the Connors. And this time, despite all their efforts, the brave heroes may not be able to stop the future war between human and machine.
Cyberdyne Corporation is not the only one with plans for the computer network, and hidden far away in a top secret military base, a fledgling Skynet takes its first steps toward sentience...and toward the rise of the machines and the termination of all human life. |

T2: The Future War by S.M. Stirling. HarperCollins Books. Hardcover published June, 2003 (ISBN 0380977931), paperback published May, 2004 (ISBN 0380808188). From the T2: The Future War web page at HarperCollins.com: The future war is now. Hiding out in Alaska, Sarah and John Connor, along with ex-counterterrorist agent, Dieter von Rossbach, are playing a waiting game--trying to live their lives but ever watchful of Cyberdyne Corporation and the possibility of Skynet, the artificial intelligence network destined to destroy the world as we know it. They've fought for years to prevent this, and now, believing that John's love, Wendy, sacrificed herself to successfully prevent Skynet from becoming sentient, they think humanity may finally have a chance to survive. Then the United States government announces that all military and communications systems will be placed under the command of a brand-new, extremely powerful Artificial Intelligence named Skynet, effective immediately. Racing desperately to alert their allies, the Connors discover that Wendy's sacrifice was in vain--far from being harmless, Skynet is active, sentient, and ready to terminate the human nuisance once and for all. Engineered by the relentless AI, the apocalypse of Judgment Day turns cities into deathtraps and releases mass destruction across the globe. In the nuclear winter that follows, our world changes forever: Cities become deathtraps of disease and famine patrolled by implacable machines, the first Hunter-Killer and T-90 Terminator units begin to exterminate their human prey, and all human life faces a desperate battle for survival against a seemingly unstoppable enemy. But there is still one rallying cry of hope, one man who will step to the forefront of the long fight to keep humanity from extinction: John Connor. |

But they can't prevent Judgment Day. Now, in 2029 A.D., they head the Resistance, dedicated to the survival of human life on Earth...and the destruction of the machines whose sole purpose is the exterminator of the human race. The war with the machines has taken a heavy toll on everyone in the Resistance, especially on Danny Avila. He endured terrible stress, even dreamed of the terrible future, just before the start of mankind's war for survival, then was on the run--a hellish ordeal that lasted for years. Finally he joined up with John Connonr and became a vital member of the Resistance, making invaluable contributions to the effort to defeat the machines that stalk mankind. But now Connor is asking Danny to make a sacrifice that only he can make, to help save the world from the robots. By doing something that seems impossible. In a world ravaged by a decades-long struggle, even the impossible is worth trying, if it might end the war. Danny, with memories nobody else can even guess, could help end the war...but doing so may very well kill him... For more information, see Aaron Alston's homepage: www.aaronallston.com. |

Issues issues #1-17 (1988-1990). This series has been criticized for its stylized, "cartoony" art. "It's after the first Terminator film, set in the future with the focus on John Conner's [sic] battle with Skynet. This movie tie-in doesn't follow the film's direction at all, and as a comic has a lame story with so-so art." [from Hero Illustrated #6] This Now comics series is noteworthy because the Terminators were depicted as killing humans so that they could wear their skins (!). There was also a "Terminator Town", whose residents included Terminator endoskeletons wearing a baker's outfit and a policeman's uniform, complete with billy club and traffic whistle (!!). Also appearing was Kyle Reese's little brother. |

Terminator 2: Judgment Day, issues #1-3. Script adapted by Gregory Wright, art by Klaus Janson. As with any adaptation, lots of things have been cut out. This series is notable for its inclusion of scenes that were removed from the film, like Sarah adjusting the chip in the Terminator's head (see section 1.2.2). Art is mediocre; this series is only for die-hard, completist fans--like me! ;-) Reprinted in a squarebound, b&w magazine. This series is also collected in a trade paperback edition, Terminator 2: Judgment Day: The Graphic Novel, published by ibooks in October, 2003 (ISBN 0743479920). This collection also includes the Malibu Comics miniseries Terminator 2: Cybernetic Dawn. |

Not really true. Speaking as the guy who was hired to write the Marvel TERMINATOR 2 series back when the T2 movie was coming out, I can tell you we were feverishly working to get the licensing moron at Lightstorm Productions to approve our stories. We had a way-cool concept (if I say so myself) for the ongoing series that had everyone at Marvel excited.
But this guy thought the series should've been more like the Saturday morning Terminator cartoon show they were developing at the time (I kid you not), which can be summed up by "A boy and his pet Terminator". We refused to do such a juvenile, asinine series, and we found ourselves stalemated. Ultimately, I found myself out of a writing job, and Marvel found that the potentially valuable license they had paid good money for had been squandered.
A very frustrating experience, let me tell you...

Malibu Comics produced two series that tied together in the flip-book T2: Cybernetic Dawn #0/T2: Nuclear Twilight #0. These series are notable for including several scenes described in the T2 Illustrated Screenplay that were left out of T2. (In some cases, the renderings look suspiciously similar to the storyboards.)

Issues #1-4 and #0 (1995/1996). Written by Dan Abnett, art by Rod Whigham & Jack Snider and Gordon Purcell, covers by Rob Prior and Rod Whigham & Chuck Maiden and Joel Naprstek. Picks up where T2 left off. Sarah and John go to Salceda's ranch, but Enrique has been killed by the T-1000. Meanwhile, the T-800's arm is recovered from the steel mill by two FBI agents, Vincent Spasky and Karyn Stern, who are in league with NetWork Developments. Sarah and John help Tarissa Dyson and her children escape from the Feds, who are trying to learn more about Miles' project. In the chase, one LAPD officer is killed by a Terminator! Sarah and LAPD officer Mossberg kill the T-800 at a construction site. To find out their plans, Sarah surrenders to the feds. Stern shows Sarah dozens of (nonfunctional) endoskeletons, and then reveals herself to be a T-1000! Meanwhile, Mossberg, John, and the Dyson kids fight off another Terminator, which Mossberg destroys with a shoulder-launched missile. Sarah destroys the T-1000 by dousing it with a corrosive solvent; the ensuing conflagration levels NetWork Developments. John and Sarah meet up and realize that Judgment Day is inevitable, and they all must prepare for it... This series is also collected in a trade paperback edition, Terminator 2: Judgment Day: The Graphic Novel, published by ibooks in October, 2003 (ISBN 0743479920).

Issues #1-4 and #0 (1995/1996). Written by Mark Paniccia, art by Gary Erskine, covers by Rob Prior and Gary Erskine & Joel Naprstek. Takes place after Judgment Day. An adult John Connor leads the human resistance; Danny Dyson is secretly analyzing Skynet's source code. Skynet suffers a power dip as the first T-800 goes back in time to hunt Sarah Connor. Risking his life, Kyle Reese succeeds in capturing an endoskeleton that is rendered catatonic during the power dip. Griff, a member of Reese's team, is captured by Skynet and duplicated by a T-1000, while another T-1000 prepares for chronoportation to 1994. Dyson uploads a virus to the T-800 which is designed to paralyze Skynet. A team of resistance fighters takes the endoskeleton to infiltrate Skynet's Cheyenne Mountain complex. As Skynet is crippled, John Connor leads a team to the Time Displacement Equipment, and sends Reese back in time. In the complex, John and Danny program a T-800 to be sent back to 1994 to protect John; its mission begins immediately, as it saves the (adult) John Connor by terminating several hostile T-800s. Just when it appears that humanity has triumphed over the machines, the other T-1000 (still mimicking Griff) enters Dyson's quarters and downloads the crucial Skynet source code... |
