I think the biggest problem with KoM is that the M.O. for the series was way over-ambitious: trying to tell the worldwide story without any real main characters and such - that sounds good in theory, but it doesn't make the best read.


Well, live and learn.

Zornow's orginal KG cover with the showa design, before TOHO forced him to change it to their KINO design....apparently TOHO has decided that the worst, weakest, wimpiest KG design of all time should represent their main image for G's deadliest/most famous rival :roll:

A more detailed account of how TOHO made him change/alter KG can be found here:

I'm kind of surprised Godzilla comics are doing better than something like Transformers.

Here are two new variant covers for KOM #1, both by Powell:

Not really sure what the point of these are (especially the 1st one), but the second one isn't so bad (probably better than some of Powell's actual covers)...I take it IDW is going for the world record on variant covers for one comic?

Sketch covers like that are blank, white covers for artists to sketch on at events. Here's one that Matt did at GFEST:
