This has lots of giant monster action, unlike the disappointing [b:Kong of Skull Island Vol. 1|30753605|Kong of Skull Island Vol. 1|James Asmus|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1466946862l/30753605._SY75_.jpg|51302051], with multiple kaiju fights. I received the stunning Criterion Collection of Godzilla (https://www.criterion.com/boxsets/2648-godzilla-the-showa-era-films-1954-1975) for my birthday, because it is known that I am a fan of this stuff. Yes, it’s silly. I don’t care. Chris Mowry is clearly also a fan, and this book reads like a love letter to these movies.

I remember while watching Godzilla-2 movie, getting upset for introducing another godzilla-like creature. Now I know it is kind of common theme in these sort of books. In this, we have been introduced with not 1, not 2 but at least 5 huge monsters or kaijus.



It is almost laughable for any human being to intervene at this point but since Godzilla is on our side, this is a pretty entertaining book.

Notes:

While the artist is talented in drawing huge monsters in great detail, he is not the sort of talented in drawing human faces.

While vol#1 is part of KU deal, vol#2 is not. I am invested in the story but would I buy #2? idk...
