Well, here we are again. The latest issue is out. If you've been reading my reviews for this series, you would know that with each issue, it gets worse and worse. Of course, we all saw King Ghidorah on this issue's variant's cover, and the summery promised "GIANT MONSTER FIGHTS!" So, this issue must have brought the series back on track.


NO.


This issue wasn't good, I could barely even call it okay. This is a dark comedy series, and the monsters are barely appearing on the panels. "GIANT MONSTER FIGHTS?" Lies.


The humans are painfully bad, the only good one is Steven Woods, who returns for the final two pages. And the last page? Not even a cliffhanger. I'm only reading this series because I'm a Godzilla fan, otherwise, not. This wouldn't be the best way to get in new fans.


I give them props for bringing back the Supersonic Hell Creature of the Sky: Rodan. He looks great in this issue, but the art is really bad. He looks more like a brown Gyaos.


The art isn't that great, some people look like stick figures, and Rodan.....you get the point.


There are some good scenes, like a head-shot of Godzilla looming down upon the traffic....but that's about it.


The fight between Godzilla and Anguirus is finished in the opening pages, and you can guess who won. So far, there has been only one fight, and it was short.


On another note, why are the Powell covers so boring compared to the variants? Also, I really hope they stop doing these awesome character covers but the character don't appear in the actual comic.


In closing, this might just be the worst issue yet. No, scratch that. It IS the worst issue yet. I'm very mad at IDW, Godzilla is my favorite franchise, and this comic series is not doing it justice at all.


I give this issue a 3/10.
