Price: $4.99
Pages: 36
A terrifying look at Godzilla’s first attack!
Tokyo, 1954. As the country begins to look toward its postwar future, two scientists start an experiment in the Pacific Ocean. It is meant to change everything…and it will. Come now, reader, and bear witness to the incredible horror of the King of the Monsters. There are no heroes. There are no survivors. There is only the wrath of Godzilla.
This standalone four-issue miniseries serves as a prequel to the Kai-Sei Era while also being perfect for fans of GODZILLA MINUS ONE, SHIN GODZILLA, and GODZILLA (1954). Written by rising star authors Ethan S. Parker and Griffin Sheridan (Marvel Zombies, Kill Your Darlings) and illustrated by one of the best horror artists of all time, Tristan Jones (Event Horizon, Aliens), this comic experience puts you on the ground during the kaiju’s first attack. And as readers will soon discover, they’ve never seen a Godzilla attack quite like this one before…
