I'd love to see J.D. Lees update his book. It's a wonderful work by itself, full of great things any kaiju fan would love.
However, so much has happened to the Big Guy since 1995. He's been resurrected, transformed in look and size for several new movies, (yes, even GINO) fought new enemies and some revamped ones, starred in several video games for Xbox, Game Boy Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance and SO MUCH MORE to occur this year (read: Godzilla: Final Wars and Godzilla: Save the Earth) and on and on...
New sections and features can be created! Some examples:
1. Godzilla Gaming: video games, board games, etc. can be covered
2. ToonZilla: the Hanna-Barbara days and the TriStar (yes even GINO) incarnation. Includes episode synopses, human, location and monster (they're not technically kaiju) profiles
3. Expanded comics section: complete rundown of Marvel Comics' and Dark Horses Comics' series with issue synopses and cover gallery
3. Splitting the films into three sections: Showa, Heisei and latest series.
4. TriStar's film: (for the completists)
5. Expanded kaiju bios featuring UFO, Orga, MechaG 3, Megaguirus, etc.
6. Special "Final Wars" chapter: spotlight on "Final" kaiju designs, behind-the-scenes, human character profiles, etc.
As a writer by trade, it would be my pleasure to collaborate on an expanded volume...
