Starship Godzilla [Kai-Sei Era]: First Wars

by Chris Gooch, Oliver Ono (Illustrator), Jonathon Dobbs (Colorist)

Join a crew of cosmic misfits as they soar through the stars in Mechagodzilla in this series that ties in with the all-new Kai-Sei Era of Godzilla comics! You didn't think kaiju were only on Earth, did you? In the fight for galactic supremacy, no weapon is more powerful than a kaiju...and no team is better equipped to capture and transport these titanic monsters than the crew of Starship Godzilla! This ragtag group flies through space in Mechagodzilla and takes high-risk, high-reward missions across the galaxy. A kaiju heading toward your planet? Give them a call. A colossal space pest clogging up your trade route? They'll get rid of it. A galactic civil war utilizing kaiju on both sides? They'll...uh...do their best to stay out of it. But where there's a galactic war, there's a galactic conspiracy, and our crew members may not all land on the same side of this fight. A brand-new kaiju space epic starts here in Starship Godzilla from Chris Gooch (In Utero, Under-Earth) and Oliver Ono (Godzilla: Monster Island Summer Camp)! Part of the new Godzilla connected comic book universe with Godzilla: End of the Reign and Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone!

This is interesting. It's a crew of people flying around space in Mechagodzilla. I would have liked some context on how this fits in with the other Godzilla comics now that these are all supposed to be connected. Is this in the future? I can't imagine this is supposed to be the same period but who knows. Set on its own, it works pretty well. The story starts in media res but we still haven't really gotten any backstory on how things got here. It's kind of like buying a comic in the middle of a run.
