Like a more realistic Scooby Doo story
This part of the non-Moore-approved pre-Watchmen story revolves around Laurie Jupiter, daughter of the original Silk Spectre. In a burst of teen angst she pushes against her mum's vigilante training regime (and the news of some of the saucier aspects of her past) and runs away from home with her new boyfriend.
She meets a camper van full of hippies and heads off to San Francisco with them. She soon uncovers a nefarious plot to poison the LCD supply in the city (zoinks!) and sets out to uncover them.
There is a certain Scooby Doo feel about this book, and while it is entertaining enough, and the artwork is enjoyable, it doesn't really seem to add much to the pre-Watchmen series as a whole. One exception is the Nite Owl and the Comedian's brief involvement in Laurie's decision to head home to Mom, their two different approaches showing their personalities.

Come with me if you want to live
The best in all of the series. This takes place roughly 12 years after the first one in which we see a young John Connor who is destined to lead the resistance against the machines, in a foster home cause mom Sarah has tried to blow up certain places that a responsible for Judgement Day. The hunter a Terminator that can shape shift after touching an item or become a sharp object cuase it's body is a liquid metal, has been sent to kill young John. Our savior is the T-1000 that was sent to orginally kill Sarah and had been captured and reprogrammed and sent back to protect them both. This story line was the best of all the series and really the most interesting. The effects from this movie won a lot of reward for the cutting edge effects that were created.
