Re: IDW's GODZILLA General Discussion
Perhaps someone here knows the answer, but is there a reason why IDW didn't do blank variant covers for any Godzilla series? I know that they did a batch for Matt Frank and Eric Powell to sketch on, but outside of those- I haven't seen any. Marvel recently did The Rise of Ultraman #1 blank variants, so if anyone has some insight, that would be greatly appreciated.

Re: IDW's GODZILLA General Discussion
I've said it before and I'll say it again: IDW needs to release Godzilla: The IDW Era Part 2 and finish what they started.
At least go up to Godzilla: Rage Across Time.

Re: IDW's GODZILLA General Discussion
So, probably should've shared this last month, but Rivals #3 "Vs. King Ghidorah" was delayed. Was supposed to be released last month, now set for later this month. Really looking forward to this one, hope it doesn't get delayed again!
Anyways, the first TPB of the series was revealed a little while ago, too, collecting the first four issues. The synopsis also details the fourth issue - and fourth opponent - if you want to check it out.

Pretty obvious choice given the 50th anniversary, but I'm always pleased when Gigan gets the spotlight. Certainly an intriguing premise, too. Hoping for a good 1-on-1 fight with Godzilla.

I wonder which version of Gigan it's going to be, Showa or Millennium?Shenanigans wrote: ↑Sun Jan 02, 2022 6:23 am So, probably should've shared this last month, but Rivals #3 "Vs.

Re: IDW's GODZILLA General Discussion
Wow the fourth issues premise is pretty whacky; I love it!
I’m a bit annoyed how slowly these are coming out, but whatever, issues 1-2 were great. Definitely going to get the TPB.

Looks like we're actually going to have godzilla vs kamacuras, in a gladiator arena on mars, before the main event.

Re: IDW's GODZILLA General Discussion
Heh, these have been off my radar since IDW didn't wow me too much with their previous Godzilla work but the details about Rivals #3 & #4 are crazy ideas that I love to see. Might have to pick them up.

Is there a way to purchase Kingdom of Monsters as a set? Maybe in a single book?

Re: IDW's GODZILLA General Discussion
Not going to lie, I'm actually happy to see Millennium Gigan here, its been underutilized in the comics.GODZILLA RIVALS VS. GIGAN ONE SHOT
(W) Keith Davidsen (A) Yasmin Flores Montanez (CA) E. J. Su
The year is 2008. The setting is Seattle. Networked computers and video game consoles have connected millions across the globe in virtual combat... and an insidious intelligence has taken notice. The insectoid Nebulans, would-be conquerors of Earth, have hijacked the MMOs and uploaded the collective fighting techniques and strategy of gamers worldwide directly into the central processing unit of their cyborg champion. What chance does Godzilla have at victory when the vicious opponent Gigan has been augmented by the savagery of all humanity? Written by Keith Davidsen (Reanimator, Evil Ernie) and illustrated by Yasmin Flores Montanez (Goosebumps), the Cyber Age meets the Kaiju Age in this epic Emerald City showdown!

And I'm really digging that apparent redesign of the Nebulans, its long overdue. I'm happy that not only can IDW now use Toho aliens more frequently, but now they can even redesign them! Eager to see more!

Re: IDW's GODZILLA General Discussion
Has anyone else noticed that the TPB version (or at least the Complete edition) of Godzilla: ROE #14 has this line instead of the original "...beat Godzilla to death?"
I wonder if it was deemed too dark/inappropriate.

GODZILLA RIVALS VS BATTRA ONESHOT
(W) Rosie Knight (A/CA) Oliver Ono
In a quiet beachside town ravaged by constant sewage spillages and toxic waste dumps, something is stirring. Deep under the rolling hills that surround Hackney-on-Sea, Battra is awakening, driven by a single goal: to destroy mankind and save planet Earth. The only one who can stop him is Godzilla, but he hasn't been seen in decades and has never ventured to the cold shores of the English coast... until now. Robbie runs a small bookshop, but her real passion is monsters. She's spent years researching the myth of Godzilla and his fearsome foes, and now that hypothetical experience is about to become a life-saving tool. Can Robbie locate Godzilla? Will Godzilla alone be enough to defeat Battra? Is Battra really wrong? And will the goddess Mothra make an appearance?
