The months of March, April, and May were revealed in an ethical study. Following Nike's sponsorship, the financial cushion of Lux Animation entered a period of prosperity. Savings and investments opened doors to new ventures.
Sales totaled 300,000 copies. A reprint of Issues 1 and 2 of "Ghost Report" and "Slam Dunk" has begun, with a total of 100,000 copies distributed. Over the next ten years, Slam Dunk will undoubtedly seek to make a lasting impression.
The issue with sales figures lies in the lack of longevity. While initial sales years are strong, the danger lies in expanding volumes or losing freshness, which can ultimately end comics.
-The shares are priced at 0.41 cents. We bought $20,000 worth of shares,- said Thomas.
A total of 48,720 shares. The growth proposal from the investment fund is null, but his father followed his advice.
-We bought shares of Coca-Cola for $7.03. That's $50,000, for a total of 7,103 thousand shares purchased. The wait is long, but we'll earn some dividends from Coca-Cola. And that's it, the deposit payment, - said Thomas.
-Wow, quite the businessman. A $70,000 investment isn't a joke, - said Billy, surprised.
-The second tax payment of $250,000 to the IRS will be made on June 15. The total bank credit for the plot in Almaden Valley, two acres, of the new Lux Animation company has been paid off. It meets the specifications you gave me. If comic sales continue to do well, we'll buy the vacant land behind it. Much more expensive, it's almost two hectares that perfectly border the acres, forming an L, particularly novel in the topography plans, - said Thomas.
-It sounds like an ironic dream, our place to create comics, - commented Billy, utterly joyful.
-Have you made any progress with the summer season? - Thomas asked.
-Yes, look, - Billy handed over a blueprint. -This is the complete design so far of the Terminator spin-off set 13 years in the future, - said Billy.
...
The Terminator story isn't particularly complex; it's nested within a premise of time travel.
In a dystopian world rife with violence, machines resembling people of various sizes are seen within the bowels of a large metallic base, where a giant computer connected to an endless array of robots, armed to the teeth, is observed. Kilometers away from this enemy base, a man in his early 30s with long dark hair down to his cheekbones is seen.
-The backup plan has been established, John, - said a dark-skinned man with blades mounted on his back.
-Though it's not the best model, our engineers have decoded the first commercial models of Cyberdyne robots, - said John Connor.
-The new T-1000 model is the best assassin. They've discovered our attack maneuvers, adapting even faster than expected. Sending an old model may do some good, - they asked John Connor.
-It will, - commented the man, a warrior from the future.
The scene changes to John Connor at 14 years old, sitting with two friends, planning their next robbery.
As two time-traveling journeys overlap in a split second, the T-1000 unit, a metal entity, assumes the identity of a police officer patrolling the nearby area, beginning to gather information related to Sarah Connor and John Connor. It's 900 kilometers away from the target, near the Mexico border, in New Mexico.
Meanwhile, the T-800 model, which previously conquered rebel military bases, embarks on a journey to New Mexico, exactly 30 kilometers from the target, which is currently unknown to the T-800 model.
Our previous protagonist, Sarah Connor, is in the women's prison in New Mexico, accused of illegal weapon possession, attacking a company, damaging property, and attempted murder. A flashback shows her being convicted for destroying a factory and being accused as an accomplice with a subject who killed a total of 30 police officers and numerous women throughout the state.
-It's not possible that they're accusing me; it's a Red-Fire conspiracy. They're committing abuse, - she shouts, but only the sound of a hammer and the judge's peremptory voice declaring her guilty is heard.
She was declared guilty two years ago, leaving John Connor in a foster home with a new stepfather who is terrible and doesn't understand the young John Connor, who is engaged in minor thefts and traveling with his friends on a practical-use motorcycle.
The informal meeting with the T-800 model takes place in the shopping mall, following John Connor's escape from the Terminator android pursuing him, the T-1000, who uses a police officer's identity.
Gunshots and chaos begin to reign in the shopping mall, but that night he manages to escape. John Connor seeks refuge with T-800 in a bar far from the shopping mall after escaping on a motorcycle from the killer robot.
-How is it possible that a robot can do these things? The bullets went through; the fire didn't damage its mechanism at all, - John asked.
-It's a new killer model, made of liquid metal and nanotechnology, - said T-800 in a robotic voice.
-Then, is it true that everything will go to hell in 1997? - John asked.
-Affirmative, - said the robot.
-We have to go to my step-parents' house, - John told the robot.
The fight continues, and her mother has a dream with her former lover, who warns her about the danger of leaving John alone, and that he needs his mother's help to protect him because he is the future of the rebellion and humanity.
She wakes up and begins to plan an escape plan in the prison where she is held. Suddenly, she is called to investigate the incidents at the shopping mall, and she undergoes a thorough investigation regarding her actions. Her previous accomplice has returned and intends to commit new crimes across the city.
Meanwhile, the simultaneous operations of each party began to search. The abilities, in each search, revealed a series of plans by the T-1000, utilizing its chameleon abilities to copy the appearance of the people it comes into contact with.
...
-Wow. -
-So, what do you think? - Billy asked Thomas.
-It's a very good comic. I see clear and explicit differences in your style, very similar to James Cameron's film. It's more... American, not... it's like the 80s movies we love so much,- Thomas told Billy.
-About 60,000 color copies, profits are higher due to concentrated sales of multiple issues in one. So far, this is halfway through the story, with another 150 pages to complete the comic book, -said Billy.
In the last three months, his skills have progressed at a dizzying pace. However, he made a miscalculation; the orders and desires are extravagant, and the point total has decreased. Admiration points are increasing.
He has earned hundreds of admiration points and some excitement points, but progress is slow and steady. After reaching 13,000 points in interpretation, orality came easily to him, but anxiety and nerves were still present in his performance. According to the master, his skills are acceptable for any supporting role.

The production of the comic series is on the right track. But the design hasn't progressed at a dizzying pace, as initially thought. He's been drawing and creating for a total of a year and a half. Even with cheat systems, there are too many issues that can't keep up with the creations.
Pinky and the Brain have six issues planned for this summer season, which are already done, drawn, and in the packaging process. Each one is priced at $1.99, with 15,000 copies printed.
Samurai Jack finished the first two volumes of 200 full-color pages, with an elegant design covering the entire first season. Each volume has a print run of 60,000 copies, to be released on June 13th and June 23rd, priced at $8.99 each.
Hellboy has a five-part installment on the "Seed of Destruction" series, with each having a total of 70,000 copies, to be distributed every Friday starting from the first week of June, priced at $8.99 each.
Terminator is a 300-page tome priced at $10.99, and it's a sensation. It will sell a total of 60,000 copies in the first delivery and a second one is proposed for late July, based on the sales pace.
An agreement has been reached with Comic Journal and Comic Scene regarding advertising expenses for our massive release of three new series throughout two and a half months.
Advertising expenses amount to $30,000. Along with exposure in some major comic stores in five large comic-consuming cities.
New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco were focal points in sales processes, along with Oregon, which was chosen for being the industrial headquarters of Dark Horse and has brought in an established fan base as its first point of sale. They have clear contacts that have established a fixed market share.
-Just keep working, son. For now, I'll register the trademarks. Take note of the matter and register the brand from different perspectives, - Thomas commented.
