I picked up
Rulers of Earth #1 (Arthur Adams subscription cover!
) and really liked it. The art is gorgeous and I like how the plot is actually built around the monsters and how their presence impacts this world. I'm looking forward to seeing where this story goes.
I think the effort to refer to events and characters from
Kingdom of Monsters and the previous ongoing is pretty silly and unnecessary, though. Those lackluster series are the exact reason why IDW are seeing dwindling interest in their Godzilla titles so actively connecting
Rulers of Earth to them isn't going to do the book any favors. Why are IDW so married to this singular ongoing universe, anyway?
