| The last
issue in Dark Horse's English reprinting of Kazuhisa
Iwata's The Return of Godzilla manga, this comic
deals with the final moments of Godzilla's attack on
Tokyo and his eventual trek to Mount Mihara. For those
familiar with Iwata's adaptations of the films, they
shouldn't be surprised to see this issue take on a
slightly darker edge with the material. This is present
in panels such as the ones showing charred corpses,
or sequences with emergency crews helping the dead
and injured that are spliced in while Godzilla ventures
to Mount Mihara. Unfortunately, the artwork contained
in the original manga, and subsequently this issue,
is in need of some work. On the plus side, backgrounds
look great, with a lot of detail placed in creating
the views of the devastated metropolis. Human characters,
while on the simplistic side, are also created with
fair results. Sadly, the ball is dropped, though, when
it comes to the title character, who often sports a
very large, almost goofy, mouth of teeth. The way he
is rendered is also incredibly inconsistent, often
changing dramatically from panel to panel. As for the
cover, it's created by Mark A. Nelson with fairly nice
results. The appearance of Godzilla with the red lighting
in effect looks good, while the flock of birds, even
if metaphorical in the context of the events in this
issue, is also a nice touch. |
