"For the record, Toho makes zero distinction between "Zilla" and "Godzilla 1998" with the exception of title alone. The film itself is recognized as "Godzilla," as is the animated series. "Zilla Jr." is a fan-created name to emulate "Godzilla Junior." Ever since 2004, Toho's official stance has been that any future incarnations of the character be referred to hereafter as "Zilla."Also, for the record, the animated series Zilla is not within our net of licenses, nor do I think we would be able to obtain it." - The Words of Matt Frank on his "Godzilla: Rulers of Earth Issue 2" cover on deviantART. This was a reply to the flame war with TurokSwe on there. And as you know, since Matt Works for IDW with the Godzilla series, he should know a thing or two about what Toho says and doesn't say about their characters.
