The third,
and arguably the best, comic in the Dianii story arc that also ends in one of the most memorable cliff hangers of the Godzilla comic franchise.
Arthur Adams, who helms the story elements once again,
dives right into the fight between the Dianii and Godzilla,
which he was developing in the previous issue. The action
in this comic is pretty satisfying, as the Dianii utilize
their hunting techniques against the King of the Monsters.
This ranges from arrows, to nets and finally spears.
Consequently, the traditionalistic tactics of the alien
race make for a very interesting conflict that stands
out from the Godzilla franchise as a whole. Adams also
deserves a lot of credit for making sure this battle
wasn't goofy, as it very easily could have been in less
competent hands given the types of weapons being used. As for the
dialogue, it's all right, even if the Colonel's lines
before they enter the Dianii ship are very awkward;
however, it could be argued that this is the affect
Adams was looking for.
The artwork and coloring in this
issue are top notch. Perhaps due to the increased staff
working on it and dividing their efforts, Godzilla looks
consistently good in each panel, a problem most of the
issues in the Godzilla King of the Monsters series
have had. The cover is, once again, impressive and is
a favorite of some from the series. Arthur Adams and
Kevin Maguire outdo themselves again with this one;
the detail on Godzilla, in particular the dorsal fins,
is awesome and it's a shame that this would be one of
the last covers the duo would work on for the series.
Overall, one of the better comics that Dark Horse put out on the character and more than worth checking out. |
