[Jeff · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love a good heist film or novel. Also, whether I like to make this public or not, I love the old cheesy Godzilla films. What could be better than putting those together? The end result…total carnage!

First, the story. This is a brilliant plot. And what caught me off guard was all the great wrinkles and twists that were thrown into this graphic novel. Also, you add in a wicked sense of humor and a Godzilla stomping on people, buildings, and cars…what’s not to love?

The art is so good on this one. You could spend hours just soaking in each panel. Great job by the writers and artists on this one.

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for providing an ARC for an unbiased review.

I received this title as a digital ARC. There was a watermark over the pictures on each page, so I can't really rate the quality of the illustrations that will be on the final work. I liked the concept and the sounds that Godzilla made while fighting. This title will be enjoyed by fans of Godzilla, heist stories and twisty double-crosses.

The interior art is arguably better than the cover art but I have beef with the notion that the thief using Godzilla as a distraction thinks only his drones are getting sacrificed and not innocent members of the public.

Yooo, this exceeded expectations. I can't wait for the next issue.

You know I like any story where citizens fight against the British government, and also Zilla
