IDW Godzilla Previews

[BrollySupersj]

That's a pretty stacked book. What stories did HGM have?

Just one story...and its (in my opinion) the worst one IDW has put out..clocking in at 13 issues, the ending comes together but its a little too late ... I've written enough about it if you read some older posts.

Re: The KoM collection was announced and then cancelled. So it never went to print. After no word on it and the Amazon listing being cancelled someone asked in the editors thread over at IDW and I think the answer was there wasn't enough interest. Also I think it was supposed to be hardcover.

I've been meaning to pick up more trade paperbacks, especially Legends and Half Century War. So far I only have KOM Vol. 1 and Gangsters & Goliaths (probably my favorite IDW story so far).

Pro wrestling and its culture is pretty much part of this fandom since Godzilla jobbed to Kong.

Edit: fixed my post. Had wrong info.

Long story short - the only IDW ongoing goji series that's decent is ROE. Legends and HCW are great. I also liked GG.

Its the second ongoing series (just titled "Godzilla" originally) its written by Duane Swierczynski with art by Simon Gane (and one issue very nicely done by Dave Wachter) .. i seriously liked it less than the first series (Kingdom of Monsters)... Either way, Any of the mini series are better worth your money, and 'Rulers of Earth' the current ongoing, is worth picking up on a monthly basis.

The 2nd ongoing was 13 issues and could have easily been half that. It could have been a miniseries called Monster Kill Crew or something. The characters could have had a history going after lesser creatures and during one mission Godzilla appears and they try to subdue him. I almost wish IDW would just do minis in place of ongoings, that way you got a feel of one arc ending and another beginning. You can do that and still have one overreaching story with the same cast of characters (and monsters).

Anytime I post something I assume people know it's just an opinion.

At least RoE is good.

GODZILLA RULERS OF THE EARTH #14

As our world recovers following Godzilla's climactic battle against the Devonians, a threat unlike any before takes aim at not only our world, but the monsters themselves! One of the biggest chapters in the series starts right here!

If I weren't in work, I'd been squeeing with glee!

Anguirus/Mechagodzilla rematch?

I ought to catch up on this series...I just wish the collections were BIG, 4 issues per collected TPB is kinda pathetically low especially when paired up against basically any other collected edition of anything that I personally have ever seen (which, I'll grant isn't MUCH but I mean, 4 issues? come on)

I actually found the gay marriage issue to be completely out of place in the comic. Why not focus on Godzilla? Why include Lady Yaya aka Lady Gaga? The overall story is poor and the characters are pointless. It's simply not well written and was almost universally panned in the first 4-5 issues from what I recall. ROE is much better IMO.

My issue is more the lack of extras in the IDW trades, but 6 issues would be more in line with industry... and especially since they do 4 issues, they could at least time the releases to allow for new readers to jump on to the monthlies, instead new readers are already behind when they get the trade and must continue to trade wait, which doesnt help the sales numbers. I really feel like IDW could benefit by taking a few notes from Image
