In ancient Greece, the gods would toy with the lives of mortals as it suited their fancy. None could oppose the will of these mighty gods… until the arrival of Godzilla!
Leí la historia completa pero para no marcar cada volumen me quedaré con este que creo que es el que más caracteriza a la historia.
Bien, sin duda el unico cómic de Godzilla que no me ha gustado, me lo vendieron como "Godzilla mata dioses" más allá de una batalla de unas 7 páginas contra zeus solo aparecen otros 2 dioses, y pues lo demás de las civilizaciones y esos cambios de tiempo al pasado, futuro y presente me abrumaron además de ese final super x.
I think the mythology of this issue appealed to me. The plot twists that occur in such tragic (and tragedic) ways are rather wonderful.
This issue is the best. Godzilla is matched against the power of Olympus and its All-Father Zeus. The character of the Olympians is stunningly similar to that of their counterparts in actual Greek myth. The decadence, the off-putting behavior, and the languor is exactly what you would expect of the old gods at the epitome of their civilization. Zeus's character development (and in a single really makes you feel for him, and I think that is special because it is extremely hard to relate to divinities and cosmic entities and the powers that dwarf our capabilities and imaginations. The fact that a lot of us can empathize with Zeus just shows that the narrative reflects what some of us go through on a more destructive scale. The motivations behind the god, which include his drive for great power, revenge, etc, is encapsulated by the hyperbolic context of the Greek gods embodying the respective virtues and vices of our species, and I think this issue does credit to the myth and the man, being two independent aspects of this particular Zeus's life.
