Written by the outstanding TIM SEELY (Grayson, Hack/Slash, Local Man) and illustrated by Nikola Čižmešija (Sword of Azrael, Batman and Robin), Godzilla #1 is going to be one of the best tales of the titans we’ve seen yet with super-powered humans and HUUUGE kaiju.
So, what’s the scoop on Godzilla #1?
n 1954, experimentation with a mysterious energy source known as Kai-Sei awakened Godzilla and a host of immortal kaiju. In the years that followed, humanity has been pummeled by near-constant monster attacks. While Japan has begun to treat the kaiju like natural disasters, understanding that their attempts to fight Godzilla only make the threat worse, the American G-Force is going to fight, fight, fight.The Americans have just discovered the ultimate tool in the fight against kaiju: a young boy named Jacen with the power of Godzilla. Able to harness the mysterious Kai-Sei in the same vein as the King of the Monsters, this boy will either save the world‚ or bring about its doom.
