With the
Dianii and Black Hole war over, ending a terrific chapter
in Godzilla's history, Dark Horse decided to try a new story
line. Unfortunately it was not very well received, at
least compared to the first eight issues.
As you read
the comic you find out about a notorious villain named
Professor Mason that has the technology to teleport the
big G to anywhere he wishes—that is to say, any
place or time. So now G-Force must race to stop this
madman from using Godzilla to attack and cover Mason's
tracks for stealing artifacts from the past. An interesting
concept, but it pales in comparison to the Cybersaurus/Simian
invasion of the first 8 issues.
The art is fair, at least
far better than the atrocious issue 8. Dialogue is a
bit comical and fakey at times, but then again you have
to expect that from the storyline. The sci-fi element
of time travel kind of makes most of the series dialogue
sound like it was pulled directly out of a 1960's space
flick. The best part about the comic though, has to be
the cover, painted by the superbly talented artist, Bob
Eggleton. The attention to Godzilla's scales and texture
are just breathtaking to look at close. Truly a talented
artist that would grace the next couple of covers, each
arguable better than the last. |
