Day 40 – June 1996 – Issue 13 (2 issues this month): G-Force is tracking Godzilla, assuming he has returned to the present time, and get a reading a coastal village of Peru has been attacked by a giant creature.  Assuming it’s the Big G, they go to investigate.  They find that there’s a new monster they name Burtannus, after Burton Helzer whose hunch that it wasn’t Godzilla turns out to be true. The creature burrow underground, so Kino and Take use jet packs (shades of Jonny Quest) to investigate.  Godzilla arrives, the Peruvian air force attacks and Kazushi, Reiko & Helzer suspect G is hunting for Burtannus.  Godzilla and Burtannus fight, but it turns out that Burtannus was just protecting its eggs.  So even after torching the village and some of the people, Burtannus and its offspring get to leave the island in peace.  The artist for this issue saw fit to return the G-Force men to their tight tee shirts and Reiko goes through the entire adventure in any itsy bitsy bikini. OK, I’m not calling sexism on this. It’s just that in a movie no one would take seriously a scientist dressed for a sports mag swimsuit edition photo shoot.  Overall this is a nice, self-contained story.  Dark Horse announced that, due to low circulation, they would not be continuing Godzilla beyond issue #16, so there’s no continuing story arc.
