Comic I Read: Godzilla: Gangsters and Goliaths

Plot: A cop escapes from Monsters Island and uses the Kaiju to take revenge on the Mob.  

Review: I’m really liking these new Godzilla comics.  My favorite thing about them is that they manage to create a world where Godzilla could live.  It begins with the mob throwing the cop off a boat where his only choice is to drown or swim to Monster Island. That’s the kind of inventive stuff you want in a story like this. It also deals with the yin and yang of the monsters and of people. How things must be answered for and karma.  Also the illustrations are really good. The Monsters look great and you always get a sense of where everything is, which is hard for big monster comics. If I had one complaint, it’s that it goes on for a bit long. Godzilla comics should be short and brief but this is a good comic. Pick it up if you can!
