The fifth
entry in Dark Horse's Godzilla King of the Monsters
series introduces a new story arc, which is closely
tied with events that occurred in Godzilla
King of the Monsters #3 and Godzilla
King of the Monsters #4. This issue also marks
a change in guard in terms of artists and writers attached
to the series.
This time around Arthur Adams is in charge
of the story elements, and gives us a story which, in
coming issues, will pay homage to the Godzilla films
of the 1970's. The dialogue here is noticeably improved
over pervious issues; however, the name of the title
mech, the All-Terraintula, is a little cheesy. Still, it's nice to see a mostly original mech, one that isn't an obvious stand in for one of Toho's properties as Cybersaur was for Mechagodzilla.
The artwork and coloring have
also improved over the previous two issues; unfortunately,
the artists give a very different look to all of the
lead human characters and do a rather poor job on Godzilla
himself for most of the panels, compared to previous
issues. The purple All-Terraintula could have been better
as well in terms of design, and certainly doesn't live
up to the tan-colored rendition on the front cover,
which is once again done amazingly well by Arthur Adams
and Kevin Maguire.
Overall, great introduction to what would turn out to be a solid arc on the character. Worth checking out. |
