BONUS REVIEW by JOHN ROBINSON
Love me some Godzilla. And IDW delivers with Godzilla sans Godzookie,
Powells script is laced with some humor so the title isn't too too serious, but it's unfortunate timing seeing a disaster in Japan, & hard to jump on board with the few jokes he does dish out because of it.
It's an all Godzilla issue as we read about the very first coming of Godzilla. Art by Phil Hester was spectacular and read very very nicely, plus IDW is promising more TOHO monsters in future issues.
An excellent start, just bad timing with the Japanese Tsunami that just hit leaving me with a weird feeling after reading the book.
