Talk:Godzilla in Hell Issue 2/@comment-831485-20150719121329/@comment-26357212-20150720103825

Godzilla already destroyed the hellmouth last issue, in the form of Acheron, a hellish deep cut from Tundale's Vision. I covered all of this in my article on this issue which you can read here: http://realgodzilla.blogspot.com/2015/07/kaijubasis-godzilla-in-hell-canto-i.html

Anwyas, this is a pretty blurry line here, which is a wonderful thing because the fuzzier things get between what does and doesn't "count" as a monster, the more alien and bizarre Hell is. However this is pretty clearly not a monster at all, but an environmental hazard, which is intended to allude to the hellmouth without actually being it. As you can see, the cover depicts Godzilla plummeting into Hell as a drop-in, AFTER being "swallowed," as he falls into a seemingly endless tunnel accompanied by a rain of souls. The descent to Hell was already covered in the previous issue, but with a different take on the events.

So, once again, IDW is giving us a cover that has little to nothing to do with the actual issue, which mention of an indestructible city makes it pretty certain will feature Godzilla attempting to cross the wall of Dis. But, as the solicit for #4 tells us, just because Godzilla passed the entrance and the 3rd circle already doesn't mean he's "done" with organic Hell. No, I bet we haven't even begun to see some of the more "squishy" things Godzilla will have to deal with. I suspect environmental mouths will show up eventually, but given the luck with IDW covers I could be dead wrong.
