Talk:Godzilla, King of the Monsters (Marvel)/@comment-343942-20140519184127

It wasn't until a few years ago I learned Marvel, my favorite comic publishers, had produced a Godzilla comic series. Not long after, I managed to get my hands on a collected edition that featured all 24 issues, and I've read it cover to cover several times since then.

Over all, it doesn't carry itself too seriously, but it didn't really go out of its way to make itself goofy either... at least not until the last few issues.

One thing kinda different from more recent western comic incarnations of the Big G is that we see things a bit more from Godzilla's point of view. He doesn't talk or anything, but the captions let us know more what Goji's thinking and feeling, and I always found that to be a good change of pace.

As Marvel could only afford the rights to Godzilla alone, none of his regular costars from the movies (Rodan, Ghidorah, ect.) are present, but they managed to come up with some pretty good beasties of their own for Goji to fight: There's a whole swarm of mutants created by a Dr. Demonicus, a giant mecha samurai named Red Ronan, and a giant irratiated Sasquatch that is more than slightly similar to Kaiju Kong.

In addition, we get to see the Big G go up against several members of the Marvel superhero pantheon, with the agents of SHIELD, the Champions, and the Avengers to name a few.

Overall, if you're a lover of both Godzilla and classic comics, you'll love it.
