Re: IDW's GODZILLA General Discussion
I wonder if the same thing'll be done to Gangsters and Goliaths, Cataclysm and Oblivion and then The Half-Century War'll be reprinted separately?

Re: IDW's GODZILLA General Discussion
Half Century War is getting a reprint of the oversized hardcover edition, set to release on September 1st of this year. No word on any of the other ones getting a reprint, though oddly the TPB for Oblivion seems to be readily available? Amazon has a single listing for $8.99 and ebay prices are less than MSRP.mikelcho wrote:I wonder if the same thing'll be done to Gangsters and Goliaths, Cataclysm and Oblivion and then The Half-Century War'll be reprinted separately?

But I'd say they're going to do the other half, too. It's all they've got left.
Btw, what's MSRP stand for? Never heard of that acronym.

Based on the Amazon link, $29.99 is great for 15 issues of content.

Hey this is great! I think these are three stories I need to ship to my brother so it's nice they're all together. Which just leaves the mediocre Oblivion.

Re: IDW's GODZILLA General Discussion
Oh, you'll love the hardcover of Half-Century War. I bought a copy of the first release of it a long time ago to replace my paperback copy of the story (which had gotten a bent corner on the back cover somehow when I put it back on my bookshelf) and I've never regretted that decision. Believe me, it's worth every penny you paid for it.2004Zilla wrote:I've waited a loooong time for this.

Goes without saying, but the hardcover edition is by and far the definitive way to read Half Century War. Gotta appreciate that James Stokoe art goodness up close! The afterthoughts at the end were a nice addon and had some pretty great trivia bits I didn't know about, like how IDW initially approached James to pen Gangsters and Goliaths.

Re: IDW's GODZILLA General Discussion
What is your favourite issue of Rage Across Time? I can’t go pass #1. Matt Frank’s style mixed in with traditional Japanese art is a beautiful fusion. I also love the inclusion of Gigan and Megalon, along with Orochi.
For Emperor and Empire!

Re: IDW's GODZILLA General Discussion
I think my top 5 favorite IDW series would have to be
1. Gangsters and Goliaths
2. Half Century War
3. Rage Across Time
4. Legends
5. Rulers Of Earth
And the less said about Kingdom Of Monsters the better because, by gravy

Mine would be issue #5. I loved the idea of dinosaurs and kaiju living together at the same time, with the former becoming extinct and the latter carrying on millennia later.VoyagerGoji wrote:What is your favourite issue of Rage Across Time?

Issue #2 was good, too. Imagine, two mere mortals from the 21st century standing close to what was left of Zeus, the king of the Greek gods, at Pompeii and not even knowing it at all!

Re: IDW's GODZILLA General Discussion
What could have been: a sequel comic series to Gangsters & Goliaths tentatively called GODZILLA: LOLITAS AND LEVIATHANS.
(Instagram)
(Twitter)Something special for hitting 15K on Instagram! A few years back, when IDW was still producing new Godzilla comics, I began talking to comic book superstar John Layman about making a follow-up to his mini-series, Godzilla: Gangsters and Goliaths, tentatively titled "Lolitas and Leviathans"! It would be akin to the film KAMIKAZE GIRLS, with goth lolitas teaming up with "sukeban" or delinquent girls, who uncover an alien invasion plot that leads to a rematch between Godzilla and Space Godzilla. Unfortunately we never got it off the ground and IDW lost the license after a certain point. C'est la vie, at least it's a cool idea! Hopefully John and I will get to properly collaborate one day!

Re: IDW's GODZILLA General Discussion
Very cool idea. Can’t help but think part of the reason why the title didn’t take off, was the title itself, as the term “Lolita” has a big disparity in the Japanese fashion subculture and “other things”.GigaBowserG wrote:What could have been: a sequel comic series to Gangsters & Goliaths tentatively called GODZILLA: LOLITAS AND LEVIATHANS.

Re: IDW's GODZILLA General Discussion
To quote a Police song I'd be in agreement with LSD that it just might have something to do with, "the old man in that book by Nabokov".
Edit: But Gangsters and Goliath's is still my favorite Godzilla comic. If we ever get a godzilla anime series, something along those lines would be perfect in my opinion (not that this would ever happen).

"Lolita's and Leviathans?" As in pre-pubescent girls?
Who thought THAT was a good idea?

Re: IDW's GODZILLA General Discussion
That's quite a title
My guess is it would ultimately be changed to something less eyebrow-raising
Added in 5 minutes 32 seconds:
Definitely would have carried some negative connotations though which is why I think it would have been changed
But hey, Transformers Kiss Players was a thing that happened so they might have kept the title for shock value

In the sense it's used here it seems more a reference to Japanese lolita fashion as LSD mentioned (i.e. heavy emphaisis on lace and frills and trying to look like a Victorian girl's doll) rather than actual underaged girls - the actual sketches look like late teens/early twentiesKaiju-King42 wrote:"Lolita's and Leviathans?"

IDW's back.

VERY excited for the new mini-series, even if it's aimed for younger readers. That creative team is awesome.
