You are talking about Godzilla in Hell #3? Cause it seems like you posted it in wrong thread.LSD Jellyfish wrote:So just bought the issue, really liked it. I'm tied up now but the big question: is that big mountain thing supposed to be god?

Like, why does he walk with his hands facing palm up? That looks so awkward.
The plot twist is Godzilla's just looking for his damn car. His hands are facing palm up as if telling the world 'What the skreeonk'

Re: GODZILLA: RULERS OF EARTH
The reason behind that is because Toho favors Japanese companies over American onesg2vd wrote:It's also because IDW is not Bandai who can apparently do anything.LSD Jellyfish wrote:I think this is precisely why Toho tries to limit creativity. They don't want a statement on whether he's a herbivore or omnivore.
About like the whole Toho vs NECA deal, NECA's not Japanese, which means theyre on a tight leash, which is the same way for any American company or whatever who tries doing Godzilla stuff

Rulers of Earth collab thing between Matt Frank and Shinji Nishikawa:

That appears to a be a Wonderfest (Japanese kaiju/tokasatsu hobby convention) flyer. Looks like they'll be there for that.GigaBowserG wrote:Not sure what's going on, but has something to do with (this).
And selling a 44-page full-color something. Unfortunately there's too much kanji for me to get anything else.

Nice artwork, though somewhat marred with the choice of transgender Iguana being used to oppose Godzilla. But I digress...GigaBowserG wrote:Rulers of Earth collab thing between Matt Frank and Shinji Nishikawa:
It's regarding the Wonderfest event in Chiba(Tokyo) (Xplus will there as well). I believe it says they're selling full color artwork from the two (44 pages worth...though it might be existing artwork they have done separately in the past as opposed to all new work they've done together).Not sure what's going on, but has something to do with (this).
By the way, how cool would it be to see Shinji Nishikawa work on an IDW mini???!
Speaking of Nishikawa, here is the cover of his new Godzilla book (manga?) coming out later this week:

Looks like the dude behind Godzilla is taking him from the back.
Who knew we'd learn Godzilla is into homosexual gangbangs from a manga/art book.

Re: GODZILLA: RULERS OF EARTH
I have two other mangas with Nishikawa covers, and they are pretty weak. The content isn't so much Godzilla stories, but stories about people working on a Godzilla film set. At least this cover seems to indicate that unlike the other two. I may pick it up on the cheap at some point, but so far those two mangas have been some of the more disappointing ones i have picked up.ebirahsmeg1 wrote: Speaking of Nishikawa, here is the cover of his new Godzilla book (manga?) coming out later this week:

Re: GODZILLA: RULERS OF EARTH
Yeah, I've seen his "manga" in the past (one of the was on Tsuburaya...these "historical" manga are quite popular over here), and I didn't pick it up, so that should tell you what impression it left on me. Nevertheless, the guy is a talented artist, and wouldn't mind seeing him contribute in some way to the IDW books.KlenSeven wrote:I have two other mangas with Nishikawa covers, and they are pretty weak.

Thankfully, there are several other G-related books coming out that look more promising than this one, so if I pick any of them up, I'll post my thoughts.

Is there a picture of the physical release of Godzilla: ROE in Japan? Like the actual book? (Not the art book)

Re: GODZILLA: RULERS OF EARTH
There was a limited edition of ROE trade paperback vol 1 already released in Japan, as well as a Wonderfest special issue that I think collects the first couple of issues.
