Talk:Godzilla: Awakening/@comment-343942-20140519004735

Much like the Pacific Rim prequel comic, I was a bit underwhelmed by Godzilla: Awakening.

It's a tad too human-oriented, with very little, and very sporadic kaiju action. But the main character's attempts to prove Godzilla's existence is attention-grabbing, and the Big G's revamped backstory is pretty interesting. I just wish their was more insight concerning Goji's appearances around the Pacific, and more detail put into the monster battles.

Also, the rival in this book... Is it supposed to be the same species as the MUTOs from the film, or is it something else? They're not too clear on that.

The art is pretty solid, if a little too sketchy for my liking. They would've been wise to bring Matt Frank in on it.

Overall, if you want a little more backstory concerning Legendary's Goji, or just want another addition to your Godzilla comic collection, go for it, but it's hardly a must-have.
