The third, and arguably the best, comic in the Dianii story arc. Arthur Adams, who helms the story elements once again, dives right into the fight between the Dianii and Godzilla, which he was developing in the previous issue. The action in this issue is pretty satisfying, as the Dianii utilize their hunting techniques against the King of the Monsters. This ranges from arrows, to nets and finally spears. Consequently, the traditionalistic tactics of the alien race make for a very interesting conflict that stands out from the Godzilla franchise as a whole. Adams also deserves a lot of credit for making sure this battle wasn't goofy, as it very easily could have been in less competent hands given the types of weapons. As for the dialogue, it's all right, even if the Colonel's lines before they enter the Dianii ship are very awkward; however, it could be argued that this is the affect Adams was looking for. The artwork and coloring in this issue are top notch. Perhaps due to the increased staff working on it and dividing their efforts, Godzilla looks consistently good in each panel, a problem most of the issues in the Godzilla King of the Monsters series have had. The cover is, once again, impressive and is a favorite of some from the series. Arthur Adams and Kevin Maguire outdo themselves again with this one; the detail on Godzilla, in particular the dorsal fins, is awesome and it's a shame that this would be one of the last covers the duo would work on for the series.
