Say, I have this "SDCC Exclusive Cover" Godzilla: Gangsters & Goliaths comic, is that worth anything ?

This one? Not really, I've found people selling it for around 2-3 dollars.
I wish there was an omnibus of IDW's entire run. I would buy that in a heartbeat.[
Woof. That'd be a biiiig book.

Here's an idea if they ever want to renew their license and get one for Peter, Paul, and Mary cartoons since there were a couple about Puff the Magic Dragon. They could do a Godzilla versus Puff the Magic Dragon battle to the death where Godzilla wins and proves the lyrics about the lifespan of dragons wrong.

Let's ignore that idiotic statement above and instead turn our attention to the likely cause of IDW not having any Godzilla comics in recent months:

Knowing Toho, it was probably just too much to keep the license. Heaven knows they've already got their hands full with Hasbro properties, TMNT, Star Trek and others.

Actually, there were three Puff cartoon TV specials: Puff the Magic Dragon (1978), Puff the Magic Dragon in the Land of the Living Lies (1979) and Puff and the Incredible Mr. Nobody (1982). Burgess Meredith was the voice of Puff in all three of them.

Maybe someone in the know can clue me in - I really enjoyed the first several volumes of Godzilla: Rulers of Earth, and wanted to get the remainder my library didn't have. I was considering purchasing them in graphic novel form with the 'Complete Godzilla Rulers of Earth' omnibuses. Right now, omnibus #2 is showing up as unavailable on all sites. Was it released and is now rare? Never released? Cancelled? Yet-to-be-released? Anyone know? (This may well be well-known lore within the comics community here, I'm just a neophyte in that regard.)

Cancelled essentially. IDW is slowly phasing all it's Godzilla collections out of print. Rage Across Time got a very limited release

Dang it. Why do I always pick the wrong collections to become a fan of?

Thank you!

The regular volume TPBs are still available for fair prices. If you have Complete ROE Volume 1, you'd wanna get ROE Volumes 4-6.

Out of print, huh? Guess that means my IDW comics might be worth some dough some day?

Not really considering the Marvel and Dark Horse Godzilla comics haven't been worth much since they went out of print

I mean these stories are available digitally as well and a number of them weren't good so it really goes to how much the market values Godzilla. Comics market won't care too much for these.

Kinda miffed we ended with Oblivion. I mean Rage across Time would have been a better send off. Not Kingdom's somehow lesser sibling.

We ended on Rage Against Time, and ending wasn't based on critical reception, rather the rights ran out I believe.

Did it end on Rage? I thought Oblivion came last?
Yeah I know the rights thing, I just want it to have ended on a high-ish note.

Thanks for correcting me on that then.
OPINION INVALIDATED.
And it feels good.
