Godzilla Rivals: Mechagodzilla Vs. King Ghidorah

by Tom Waltz, Casey Maloney (artist)

From the mind of Tom Waltz, the legendary writer of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and co-writer of The Last Ronin, comes a whole new spin on a classic myth! Forget everything you think you know about Atlantis. The ancient civilization was once an idyllic island in the middle of the ocean, subject not just to the regular caprice of Mother Nature, but also under the threat—and protection—of kaiju! Mechagodzilla provides them with their one true protection against these monstrous forces, but is it enough when ambitious and evil members of the cultural elite try to summon a three-headed beast to take control? All bets are off when King Ghidorah swoops down from the skies. But its presence not only terrifies the island citizenry, it also awakens the King of the Monsters to emerge from its home deep below the waves. Can Godzilla prevent the legendary civilization from a watery grave?

Wow, I thoroughly did not enjoy this. What in the world was that whole page of exposition done in JUST TEXT? If you have to explain the story that much just to make the plot make sense, maybe it's an indicator to move it in a different direction. The Atlantis + Christian dystopian mashup didn't do it for me. Made zero sense. And this is a petty complaint; but the pyramid as temple was also a strange choice. I feel bad for ripping this issue to shreds, especially with the memorial in the back. But this might be the worst comic I've read this year

Quien lo diría... Guidorah, Mechagodzilla y Godzilla fueron los responsables de la destrucción de Atlantis... un Issue que son dudas disfrute mucho, y es una lastima que sea ya el penúltimo de la serie.
