GODZILLA #1 from IDW hits your local comic book shop on July 23, but Monkeys Fighting Robots has the early review to help you decide if the King of Monsters is a must-buy or a hard-pass!
GODZILLA #1 is a team effort from the creative staff. Tim Seeley layers in a ton of story and characters to hook the reader. Nikola Čižmešija takes interesting angles and perspectives to convey emotion and action. The emotion in the eyes of the characters is next-level storytelling. Francesco Segala improves the story’s pace with his color choices, and one simple panel becomes a masterpiece because of Francesco’s work. Nathan Widick takes the cake with his letter work as he takes the FUN of reading a comic book and turns it up to eleven with his onomatopoeias.
Check out my full thoughts below.
About GODZILLA #1:
THE KAI-SEI ERA, IDW’S NEW GODZILLA UNIVERSE, STARTS HERE!
In 1954, experimentation with a mysterious energy source known as Kai-Sei awakened Godzilla and a host of immortal kaiju. In the years that followed, humanity has been pummeled by near-constant monster attacks. While Japan has begun to treat the kaiju like natural disasters, understanding that their attempts to fight Godzilla only make the threat worse, the American G-Force is going to fight, fight, fight.
The Americans have just discovered the ultimate tool in the fight against kaiju: a young boy named Jacen with the power of Godzilla. Able to harness the mysterious Kai-Sei in the same vein as the King of the Monsters, this boy will either save the world… or bring about its doom.
Join Tim Seeley (GRAYSON, HACK/SLASH, LOCAL MAN) and Nikola Čižmešija (SWORD OF AZRAEL, BATMAN AND ROBIN) on the ride of a lifetime!
