A prequel to MonsterVerse's own Godzilla. RwaaaaaaaAAAAAr
The story reveals the history of Godzilla and its warm friendship with MUTO, starting from pre-pre-history of Earth to years before movie Godzilla (2014). The story also covers the formation of MONARCH and showcases a bar room brawl between MUTO and Godzilla.
Well, there is a plot here somewhere. But it's almost as if the writer had to catch a flight and rushed the whole affair into a giant Godzilla-sized mess. In this graphic novel, you'll find years worth of story scattered all over the place like a poorly constructed house of cards. There are some good parts like the introduction of MUTO (which involves a giant ship!) and some well-drawn panels. But the rest sucks.

Binge-watched the MonsterVerse films with my siblings and now we're so hyped for Godzilla vs. Kong. For now I'll just binge-read the tie-in comics 😂. The story was meh but the artwork was amazing.

This was a fun and quick read. I don't feel like it added much besides knowledge of the Monsterverse's Monarch and Serizawa's history. My biggest issue was that it seemed to run together and needed better pacing. I liked the art in general but sometimes it ran together too. Solid 3 stars for me.

Je až prekvapivé, ako sa v jednom komikse mohli zísť naozaj príšerné strany po kresebnej stránke a naozaj božsky vyzerajúce. Čo sa deja týka, tak ide o taký "before movie" titul, ktorý nie je zlý, ale úžasnosť to tiež nepobralo. Dosť sa tam skáče v deji dopredu po dvoch-troch paneloch, takže k postavám si vzťah nevytvoríte, to je zbytočné čakať. Samozrejme, ak vám ako mne, stačí pozerať na to, ako Godzilla masakruje svojich prirodzených nepriateľov, tak smelo do toho.

Awesome art but the story was too focused on the humans
Read
March 3, 2023 Max Borenstein is the writer of the Godzilla screenplay. This was released prior to the debut of the Legendary/Warner Brothers GODZILLA movie and serves as a prequel to the film, providing background and origin.
While the comic has its moments (particularly the art, which is very effective considering how many people worked on it) it tries to cover too much ground, not just the emergence of Godzilla in the 1940’s (information suppressed by government, including General MacArthur, in the aftermath of Hiroshima) up to the present day and then all the way back to pre-historic times. There are too many jump cuts to these flashbacks, which completely ruins any flow the story might have.
Mostly exposition and backstory with not enough monster action to satisfy me. The movie, while not really satisfying my Godzilla expectations, at least was more interesting than this. Oh, by the way, this changes the legend a bit.Godzilla is portrayed as more of a good guy here, protecting Earth from the bigger pre-historic monsters showing up all over. Godzilla (Gojira) wasn't created by the atomic bomb. It just woke him up. TWO AND ONE-HALF STARS.

So good. Serves as a perfect prequel to the 2014 Godzilla film. Serizawa was one of my favorite characters in the film and one of the things I was always curious about was how he knows so much about Godzilla, as it always seems like there’s some sort of personal connection there. Well this graphic novel answered all of my questions flawlessly! And with amazing art from Arthur Adams! Also perfect timing finishing this one week before “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” comes out!

"Годзила: Пробуждане" е официална графична новела - предистория на филма от 2014, на която попаднах онлайн. Ето и анотацията:
Главен герой е бащата на Иширо Серизава (японският учен от филма, тук още дете).
След атомната бомба над Хирошима се появява Шиномура ( яп. «рояк на смъртта» ) - летящо чудовище, пробудено от ядрения взрив. Древно колониално създание, хранещо се с радиоактивни материали и нарастващо главоломно, способно да възстановява тялото си и от малка останала част, унищожавайки и убивайки всичко по пътя си.
Серизава (бащата) започва работа и за секретна организация "Монарх", целяща да заличава вредителите.
Нападенията продължават, а очевидци са видели влечугоподобно гигантско същество да преследва първото. Серизава вярва, че това е Годзила - митичен естествен враг на Шиномура. Дали обаче ще успее да убеди останалите, че природата може да се справи, или военните ще...

As stated, this is a prequel to the 2014 Godzilla movie which launched the Monsterverse. It wasn't bad, but wasn't an especially strong prequel either. It's still cool for Godzilla fans.

Like many fans of the “King of the Monsters” I am super exited for the release of the new Godzilla film next week. Unable to take the anticipation any longer, I picked up Godzilla: Awakening. This graphic novel is a prequel to the new Godzilla movie and is even written by the film’s screenwriter. I had already gleaned from the movie’s trailers that this American reboot of the Godzilla franchise was going to put a new twist on the origin story of our favorite kaiju. I was eager to find out the details and read the entire graphic novel while commuting home on the train.
Boy, was I disappointed. If you don’t like spoilers, skip to the last paragraph.
The book is set from the 1940s to the 1980s and covers all of that time in exactly 65 pages. Granted, most graphic novels aren’t very long, but this story unfortunately suffers from poor pacing. The story jumps from location to location and time period to time period in a very rushed manner. You barely have time to take in what’s happened before the narrative whisks you away suddenly to another exotic locale. Unsurprisingly, given that this book was written by a screenwriter, it almost seems like they took a film script and put it into graphic novel form. The dialogue is not very good either. It is stilted and unnatural. I can only hope the actual movie’s dialogue is better. I was also not very impressed by the artwork, except for the cover art which is great.
Almost all of the action takes place in a series of flashbacks. The main character is Serizawa, a Japanese sailor who was recruited by the U.S. government after World War II to hunt down giant monsters code named M.U.T.O. (for “Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms”). Ever since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945, M.U.T.O.s have been attacking ships and isolated island communities across the eastern Pacific, and the U.S. military has been attempting, with mixed success, to simultaneously cover them up and find a way to stop them.
Along the way, Serizawa gathers evidence for the presence of another, more powerful monster that the Pacific islanders call “Gojira” and soon develops a convoluted theory as its origins and its connections to the M.U.T.O.
Here’s where the story really started to lose me. Godzilla’s new origin is even more ridiculous than the original Japanese version from the ‘50s. Granted, the subject matter has an inherent ridiculousness: It’s about a 400-foot-tall prehistoric reptile for crying out loud! But even I was unable to suspend my disbelief for this silly scenario. I won’t spoil it for you here, and they’ll probably explain it in the movie anyway. What I will say is that, in this version, Godzilla is not created by the A-Bomb, but was awakened by it (hence Godzilla: Awakening).
Another thing is, for a graphic novel claiming to be about Godzilla, he hardly ever shows up! Most of the pages are instead filled with human characters just talking about Godzilla. The Big Guy’s actual appearances are few and far between and cover only a few panels before he disappears again. We see more of the mysterious (and boring) M.U.T.O. than Godzilla.
This book also has serious lapses in logic, even for a Godzilla story. Serizawa spends a good long while explaining to the military brass that Godzilla and Shinomura (Serizawa’s name for the M.U.T.O.) survive and get stronger by absorbing radiation from the environment. And the military’s new plan of attack in response to this important information? Just nuke ‘em! What?!?!? That makes no sense! One idiot actually says “If all else fails… we’ve yet to meet a problem that the A-Bomb can’t fix.” Huh? They are powered by radiation, nuking them will only make them stronger!
The ending is really underwhelming and is obviously setting things up the movie. And that’s the problem with this graphic novel: It’s all plot exposition that they couldn’t fit into the film. That’s why it’s dull. If you’re a hard core fan of Godzilla, you might want to read this graphic novel to have the inside scoop on the new film. However, if you’re just casually interested, my advice would be don’t even bother with this and just see the movie, which will likely cover most of the same material more effectively. Here’s hoping, anyway.

Hmmm ... Not bad, but not particularly memorable either. This is pretty much a prequel to the 2014 Godzilla film, and perhaps if I had watched that more recently, this would have resonated more with me. As it is, it's, well, not bad. The artwork is lovely. The story is good but unspectacular. It's certainly a decent attempt at doing a movie tie-in without its being a straight adaptation. I just wish I liked it more.
April 21, 2017
I found this to be entertaining and well worth one read through, especially if you enjoyed the new film and want a little more back story on this modern take on Godzilla. It was a quick, one-sitting read so my biggest knock on it was the price tag.

It was okay. Nothing spectacular nothing horrible.

A father reveals that he has worked hunting Godzilla his whole life, he wasn’t just a shipping manager. Cool art, the full page shot of the submarine being pursued by Godzilla was sweet!
Not a game changing story but fun.

Actually really dug this! Love how it manages to expand on Monarch, closely tie the story to Hiroshima, and chuck in a few fun references like Moansta Island.

"'Welcome, General MacArthur!'"
Slightly more palatable when you add a historical element to it. Slightly less palatable in comic book format.

It's always of benefit for the screenwriters of a science-fiction film to have written its prequel comic(s). Seamless transitions aid both mediums, and speak up to the über fans who enjoy them; this is a good read for über Godzilla fans, fans who 1.) are excited about seeing the new (as of this review) 2014 film for the first time, and 2.) have an immense respect for the original 1954 film -- something required to appreciate the narrative of the *new* film, and rightfully so. It also doesn't hurt if you have time for an 80-page evening read and love comicbooks.
We're given a logical, interesting set-up and backstory, executed by solid dialogue, and good linework and coloring. There are, of course, a few textless, standout splash-pages featuring the Daikaiju Alpha himself that are beautiful; even when the clarity of the lines seems a problem, the page layout and coloring pick up the slack. We're given an explanation of the MUTO acronym, as well as a neat callback to Monster Island from the Showa Series/Era of TOHO films towards the tail end of the book, and it's a read that's from an almost entirely Japanese perspective, which speaks for itself. I personally enjoyed the tone of this book, and its length -- it's the perfect amount of artwork, dialogue, and set-up. And having it all nicely hardbound with great art setting the tone for the film (just as Legendary Comics' did previously with 'Pacific Rim: Tales From Year Zero') only helps it.

Cómic precuela publicado esta semana con el mismo guionista que la película y del que por si acaso alguno quiere ir al cine sin saber nada de nada, no voy a contar apenas la trama. Digamos que nos presenta los años posteriores al final de la segunda guerra mundial y que es lo que despertamos de su sueño de millones de años. Seres de otro tiempo, largamente dormidos que necesitan de la radiación, encontraran en nuestro tiempo un planeta rico en mierda nuclear y si alguien o algo no los para, el mundo tal como lo conocemos, será un recuerdo.
Aquí queda bastante claro que es Godzilla, quienes son los otros elementos en juego y la forma de combatirlos. Se lee en un suspiro y sirve de aclaración para quienes crean que van a ver otra película en vez de una de Godzilla... que parecer un contrasentido, pero se ve que son muchos, por lo visto en las criticas de los pases de prensa españoles.
Lo malo de que sea lea en un suspiro, es que que te has dejado casi 12€ en ello. 8€ Hubiera sido un precio mas justo, tal y como cuesta la reedición de "La Broma Asesina", pero tampoco me arrepiento. El dibujo tiene sus momentos doblemente disfrutables por las paginas a lápiz que tenemos como extras.

I’ve always loved the character of Godzilla. From watching the movies as a wide-eyed kid and just marveling at this giant creature demolishing towns with a single step, tail swipe, or radioactive breath to an adult admiring the statement his very existence made about humanity and our responsibility in our self destruction. It’s been a wild ride and I continue to love him.
This graphic novel, meant as a precursor to the 2015 film by Gareth Edwards follows along the lines of James Stokoe’s Godzilla: Half Century War in which one man, there from the “beginning” after the bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, dedicates his life to tracking the creature that no one else is sure actually exists.
It’s a good story with fantastic artwork but it left me a little hollow in the end. Sure, the movie is the continuation, but I’d prefer they not mix media. I want the whole story as a graphic novel. Maybe I missed it but I somehow doubt it.

Not a bad read. From what i know about the movie before seeing the movie, this ties in nicely. art work is pretty keen. my only issue is the treatment of Godzilla. He's presented more as a variable in the universe, as opposed to a character. even in the original Gojira, he was more characterized than in this book. still, enjoyable. The King has returned. Long live the king.

...no. No. No, no, no. This book should have taken me a half hour to read, and ended up taking me days because I couldn't care, or fell asleep, or imagined shapes in the illustrations that weren't really there. No kaiju joy here. Print off a picture of Godzilla off the webz, cut it out and rampage it around your desk. Much more funz than reading this.

The artwork was amazing for this topic. The palette the artist used were of vibrant colors that you'd be more likely to see in an anime. I've come to expect gritty, dark images for Godzilla stuff, so this was refreshing.
The story was very similar to the movie that recently came out where Godzilla is "helping" them fight the other monsters.

Great companion comic to the movie
It was a great, yet short, read. Effectively sets the tone for the movie and tells a very interesting origin story. There could have been more Godzilla but there was enough to keep me going. Really excited for the movie now.

Good book , more detailed information then the movie and I like the concept art shows how much time was put into it

I love Godzilla, and while this has been on my radar for a long time, I just never really got around to buying it. But now that the sequel to the 2014 movie is coming and it's my most anticipated movie of the year, I decided that it was the perfect time to read this and the new graphic novel that's coming out soon that ties in with the new movie. This was okay, it wasn't great, I think the author and the artist probably wanted to do a lot more, but studios and publishers always have a tendency to limit tie-in fiction, plus since when this was written no one knew weather or not Godzilla 2014 would do well or spawn a shared universe, I'm guessing the higher ups might have put a few more limitations than normal on this. There's not much monster action in here, we see everything from the human point of view, and while it was kind of interesting to see how MONARCH got founded, with such a cool monster they had for G to fight, it could have had a lot more action. The art was okay, though a lot of it was kinda confusing, I could never really tell what exactly was going on, plus I loved a lot of the art in the other Godzilla comics, so I couldn't help but compare it to those and found it somewhat lacking.
Overall this was okay, it could have been better, but it was enjoyable enough, though I probably wouldn't recommend it over some of the other Godzilla graphic novels that are available, unless it's on a really good deal.

After watching the recent Monarch TV series, which I thoroughly enjoyed, I decided to go back and read all of the Monsterverse comics that have been released over the years. Clearly the show did its job getting me more invested in the lore of this particular Godzilla universe. To my surprise, Godzilla: Awakening actually seems to be the main source of Monarch's inspiration. Quite a lot of the beats in this comic were adapted into the show, albeit heavily altered. Serizawa is replaced by a new character in the show, but Lee Shaw makes his first appearance right here in this comic. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters pretty much renders this comic non-canon due to that adaptation process. But is it worth reading on its own merits? Not really, no. I'm a pretty die-hard Godzilla fan, but this was rather unfocused and messy. The new kaiju introduced is pretty derivative and forgettable. The story has honestly been rendered pretty pointless with the show doing it so much better, which is a shame. Cool art on the monsters though (less so on the humans). Mostly worth it for that Art Adams cover tbh.

Contando con el mismo guionista de la película que originó este MonsterVerse se presenta esta precuela. Una lectura rápida y que funciona, aunque podría haber dado mucho más de sí. Nos muestra los primeros días de Monarch, el descubrimiento de estas criaturas antediluvianas por los horrores atómicos de la 2º Guerra Mundial y una fugaz historia de enfrentamiento de Godzilla con esta variante de MUTOS. Protagoniza el cómic el padre de Sherizawa, revelando así el cómo este personaje que hemos visto en las dos películas de Godzilla del MonsterVerse hereda esta misión monstruosa de tratar de buscar la coexistencia con el Rey de los Monstruos.
El dibujo cumple, aunque al no ser una historia que busque del todo la espectacularidad poco importa.
Godzilla: Awakening es una extensión en formato cómic de la película de 2014 bastante decente.

Me he leído esto con la idea de que rellenaría aún más la historia del Monsterverse que comenzó Godzilla de 2014. El caso es que TODO lo que se muestra en este comic contradice totalmente la serie de Monarch: Legacy of Monsters que acaba de estrenarse y está mucho mejor escrita (al menos de momento). Se vuelve a usar la idea de que para librarnos de Gojira hay que petardearlo con una bomba y arreando. Se muestra a Shaw viendo ya MUTOs cuando en la serie los ve por primera vez junto con Billy Randa (entiendo que por aquel entonces cuando sacaron este cómic no se sabía si Kong iba a relacionarse con Gojira, yo qué sé). El caso es que la historia, hasta para un cómic del puto Godzilla es bastante meh. El arte tampoco me ha dicho mucho y la historia es innecesaria totalmente.
