Godzilla: The Half Century War by James Stokoe

GREAT looking art by Stokoe - highly recommended, especially if you grew up watching kaiju or giant robot TV shows like I did.

Completely badass story of one man's lifelong battle against Godzilla. Well-told and engrossing. The kaiju art was great, but the human art was a little cartoony for my taste. Overall it worked.

What can I say, I’m a sucker for any Godzilla content. It was a well made graphic novel, with an interesting concept that mixes the zilla-verse monsters with global conflict. Zilla looked radiant as always 😍

I like the idea of not just a Godzilla but other nuclear monsters, and different locations is fun too!!

Good comics fun! Good Godzilla fun! Stokoe clearly has a deep appreciation of the character and canon, and puts his elite monster-drawing to good work here. This will get a reread cover-to-cover faster than most graphic novels I read, and will definitely be resourced if I need food art reference for monster battles and/or cities suffering their destructive battles.

Thoroughly enjoyed the different art styles in this graphic novel. It follows a continuous story throughout the issues.

Story: ★★★½ – Art: ★★★★★

I read this on a tablet, and now I want a hardcover copy anyway just because James Stokoe's art in this is absolutely incredible!
