I was looking around Amazon and I suddenly remembered Dark Horse's original Godzilla Comic and I'm not talking about their On-going or 84 manga reprint. but the original one that had Godzilla reawakened by some Stone or something it had a bunch of original monsters and stuff I don't remember much of what I eead about it but I really want to have it.
Was it ever collected in a book?
This is the comic in particular.

And if I remember correctly there was a sequel, yes?

Re: The Original Dark Horse Godzilla
I have that comic! It's tucked away in a plastic sleeve in a box at home. ^_^ If I recall, it was reprinted in Dark Horse's Godzilla: Age of Monsters trade - I have that as well, I can check when I get home.g2vd wrote:I was looking around Amazon and I suddenly remembered Dark Horse's original Godzilla Comic and I'm not talking about their On-going or 84 manga reprint. but the original one that had Godzilla reawakened by some Stone or something it had a bunch of original monsters and stuff I don't remember much of what I eead about it but I really want to have it.

Dark Horse's main Godzilla comic, the one that ran 16 issues, is the sequel. Issue #0 has two of that comic's main characters return, recaps that comic's storyline in an extended flashback, and the whole first story arc (Issues #0 - #4, with Cybersaur and Bagorah) pretty much continues straight off from that original comic's plot.g2vd wrote:And if I remember correctly there was a sequel, yes?

Re: The Original Dark Horse Godzilla
It's in a collected trade, Godzilla age of monsters. There's two trades of the Godzilla Dark horse stuff, that and Godzilla last present future.g2vd wrote:I was looking around Amazon and I suddenly remembered Dark Horse's original Godzilla Comic and I'm not talking about their On-going or 84 manga reprint. but the original one that had Godzilla reawakened by some Stone or something it had a bunch of original monsters and stuff I don't remember much of what I eead about it but I really want to have it.

It's weird because the whole shit about the slab and the other monsters never really goes anywhere and it's a shame because that issue is awesome.

Re: The Original Dark Horse Godzilla
You are correct! Chronologically before that, there was the Godzilla Color Special, and then the issue #0 material, which itself is a reprint (with some changes) of material that was presented in Dark Horse Comics #s 10 and 11 shortly after the Color Special.Pkmatrix wrote:Dark Horse's main Godzilla comic, the one that ran 16 issues, is the sequel.

Re: The Original Dark Horse Godzilla
I know what you mean. I'd have loved to find out more about the other three disaster monsters-Soran the Thunderbird, Inagos the Locust King and Kamerus "the Sky Turtle" (as I call him). ( By the way, if anyone asks, Kamerus is seen twice in Godzilla, King of the Monsters Special #1 and is mentioned by name in (I think, but I'm not sure) Godzilla, King of the Monsters #0 (the color comic version, not the black and white book version in Godzilla: Age of Monsters (again, I'm not sure about this, either) ). Also, I read the TK review for this particular comic and saw two errors: Inagos is based on Mothra, not Kamacuras and Kamerus is based on Gamera, not Anguirus (as I thought he was after I saw his name mentioned (again, I think, but I'm not sure) in GKOTM #0).LSD Jellyfish wrote:It's in a collected trade, Godzilla age of monsters.

I just thought of another character from the Dark Horse storyline that I'd have loved to find out more about-the female mad scientist (whose name I can't remember-can anyone help me here?) who appeared in GKTOM #15 and ADoDH #4. UPDATE: I just found out her name is Dr. Yamazaki.
Added in 8 hours 31 minutes :
Is someone going to please update the TK article on Godzilla, King of the Monsters Special #1 with the info I gave here? I'd hate to think I did this for nothing.

Re: The Original Dark Horse Godzilla
^ Email Anthony aka Arbok with said info
Yeah, Godzilla wins... sometimes. I mean, he was killed by Dr. Serizawa's patented bubble-bath formula, heartburn, missiles, and poor box office returns, got his ass kicked by a drunken, circus-escaped gorilla, then he was beaten by two newborn worms, yeah some “king”.
