| Basically,
a color reprinting of the Godzilla story which appeared
in Dark Horse Comics #10 and Dark Horse Comics
#11. This comic sets in motion events that will take
place over the next four issues, and can be seen as
the "boring" but necessary comic in establishing
the story. The comic covers the first appearance of
Godzilla for the Dark Horse series through flash backs
and talks about how Godzilla was driven to Tokyo because
of a special slab that was uncovered there and later
moved to the sea 100 miles from Japan, where Godzilla
is currently resting. The true focus of the story, however,
is professor Yoshiwara's serum, which was derived from
the study of a Godzilla scale (how she wasn't harmed
by the radiation while holding a piece of Godzilla roughly
half her size is beyond me), which she hopes will kill
the beast. In a fashion predictable for comics, one
will have to wait to find out more about the exact effects
in the next issue. Dialogue here is pretty good, but
the art could have been better. It's uneven from panel
to panel as faces, along with Godzilla, tend to change
drastically in appearance. Yes, the comic was done by
two different "teams" of artists who divided
their efforts among the original printings in Dark
Horse Comics #10 and Dark Horse Comics #11,
but the problem occurs often on the same page and full
blame cannot be placed on this "divide and conquer"
approach. |
