Just read it.
I liked it, although I think it's going to take a little while for me to get used to Gane's artwork. Gane's kaiju and cities are great, but the people leave much to be desired. Story-wise, I'm liking Urv and Boxer (glad to see I wasn't the only one who automatically thought of Jason Statham!) and am looking forward to seeing more of them.

Read this last week and I think it's off to a very good start. I'd say it's started off as good as KOM finished up, let me clarify KOM started terrible and finished by getting better and better in the last few issues.
Really liked the very first two page spread where it was all in black and had the Toho logo in white and Gojira in katkana in red, made me want to watch the original Godzilla movie.
The artwork is so so for me, but I'm looking forward to the next issue since from what I've heard it gets better.
Didn't like that Gwen died, it was just too similar to the motivation of the guy that got married and lost his husband.
I am wondering what those two mercenary guys and their friends expect to do agaisnt the kaiju of the world when the world's military hasn't been able to stop them.

My go to comic book reviewer Greg McElhatton reviewed the first two comics of the Godzilla series. I think he has a pretty good take on the comics especially given his background in Godzilla (very little exposure).
