| The final
chapter in Dark Horse's Terror of Godzilla run,
which was a color reprinting of Kazuhisa Iwata's The
Return of Godzilla manga. This issue covers Godzilla
walking through the devastated Tokyo after Goro and
Naoko, and concludes with Godzilla's descent into Mount
Mihara. As expected, it's not the most exciting issue,
since it takes place after the climactic battle between
Godzilla and the Super-X, but is a decent read all the
same. Mike Richardson and Randy Stradley do very well
in adapting Iwata's work for English audiences, although
they do miss the mark when it comes to handling Goro
and Naoko's relationship in this issue, which takes
such a sudden turn it's hard not to laugh while reading
it. As for the art, Godzilla looks pretty awful most
of the time, featuring a giant mouth of teeth that gives
him a slightly goofy appearance, but the rest of the
drawings are handled well. In regards to the coloration
process, it's obvious that the source was intended for
a black and white medium, as the coloring doesn't seem
to flow between panels at times. However, Chris Chalenor
still did an admirable job given what he had to work
with. As usual, the best part about this release is
the outstanding front cover by Arthur Adams, as he depicts
the ending of The
Return of Godzilla (1984) with a stellar freeze
frame look at the creature's fall into the volcano. |
