The fifth entry in Dark Horse's Godzilla King of the Monsters series introduces a new story arc, which is closely tied with events that occurred in Godzilla King of the Monsters #3 and Godzilla King of the Monsters #4. This issue also marks a change in guard in terms of artists and writers attached to the series. This time around Arthur Adams is in charge of the story elements, and gives us a story which, in coming issues, will pay homage to the Godzilla films of the 1970's. The dialogue here is noticeably improved over pervious issues; however, the name of the title mech, the All-Terraintula, is a little too cheesy for most people's tastes. The artwork and coloring have also improved over the previous two issues; unfortunately, the artists give a very different look to all of the lead human characters and do a rather poor job on Godzilla himself for most of the panels, compared to previous issues. The purple All-Terraintula could have been better as well in terms of design, and certainly doesn't live up to the tan-colored rendition on the front cover, which is once again done amazingly well by Arthur Adams and Kevin Maguire.
