IDW's GODZILLA General Discussion

[KaijuX]

Wait a sec, I thought they were fighting Battra in issue 3... Well then.

[antovald20]

^I thought so to? WTF!!!

[Destroyer]

Where did you guys get that idea?

[KaijuX]

Well, partly cuz Battra is a Matt cover... Ah, here we are.

IDW July 2012 solicitations are out!

Godzilla #3
Duane Swierczynski (w) • Simon Gane (a) • Zach Howard, Matt Frank (c)
Boxer and his Monster Kill Crew are notching some impressive victories against the kaiju, but a battle with Battra almost puts the team down for the count. The Crew decides it's time to upgrade their fire-power, but questionable methods lead to division in the ranks. With his sights set on Godzilla, Boxer will have to get his team in line—fast!

Bullet points:
¥ Warning: This issue contains multiple-monster mayhem!

[Destroyer]

Oh the Monster Hunters do 'battle' (in the lightest sense of the word) Battra, but it isn't a focus at all.

[antovald20]

WHAT!?!? That's interesting i guess?

[KaijuX]

Well... Huh. Didn't see that coming.

[kaiju115]

Good to hear from this, I'm going to be getting the 3rd issue the day it comes out.

User antovald20 asked:

I would assume that they're going to use Heisei, given that it was actually in a Godzilla movie.

[KaijuX]

Ha, I'm not going to say if we do or don't have any immediate plans for the character, or which version. We're still very much in the phase of things planned out before we got the new monsters. Sorry!

I don't know if we can do anything with the animated series. Probably not. Definitely no plans to.

That's what he said at the IDW forums.

I'm a little worried that issue 3 won't hit the right chord with Godzilla fans. Anyone else feel this way?

Not really,

Anguirus is being dealt nicely with executed strategy, something that was absent within Kingdom of Monsters.
I think issue 4 and 5 will decide if this series is worth continuing.

[antovald20]

NEVER MIND WHAT I SAID! I have hope again. I was just a little scared how they will deal & treat Angy.

[Blackout286]

I think I'll go down to my comic book store this friday and pick up this issue. Looks pretty good thus far, and hopefully it'll be awesome along the next issues.

[Hedorah1971]

I personally have really enjoyed this series. Simon Gane is doing a wonderful job on the interiors, albeit his human characters need just a tad bit of touching up, his Kaiju, though, are fantastic. I like that he chose to use the showa era Anguirus in issue number 2 and he executed his design perfectly. By the way, I love that Anguirus is making a come back into the media through IDW. Issue 3 looks pretty promising, considering that Gane has been consistent in his plot as well as his panels. This series looks like it is going to be much more successful than Kingdom of Monsters by a long shot. The covers are phenomenal as well! Matt Frank has done a fantastic job on the regular covers (from the covers I have seen and the leaks that I have also seen, his covers are a must-have for all his followers). His best so far has to be the issue 4 cover. Jeff Zornow is also doing a great job on the variant covers followed by Zach Howard who is a great artist. I look forward to picking up issue 3 on Friday .

Kind of quiet even though the latest issue is out. Quick thing I wrote up on it. (Some spoilers.) http://destroyers-editorialsandreviews. ... lla-3.html

And of course my review I wrote up at Unleash the Fanboy. http://www.unleashthefanboy.com/comics/ ... view/20686

[antovald20]

Of course people aren't going to like it for a wide range of reasons, though I can't help but agree that this is going to be a fun story to play on.
