Godzilla vs the Justice League

[ShinGojiX98]

I don't think that ones like that will be Titanized. I'm guessing it's going to be ones that have more monstrous qualities to them inherently, like Killer Croc for example or the already shown King Shark. Though they could just be scaled up as well and not have any physical changes besides that. Or I could just be completely wrong, but we'll see.

Yeah, beside Killer Croc and King Shark maybe Cheetah and Gorilla Grood could turn into Titants. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised see Batman turned into a Titan since he is already act as Mecha's Pilot in the previous crossover.

The idea of the DC heroes becoming "Titanized" sounds.....stupid. Incredibly stupid.

As Gojira2K suggested, if it's limited to the likes of Killer Kroc or King Shark who already have "monster" features, then fine. However, if "Titanized" versions of Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman/Green Lantern/etc. ends up being the direction they're going to take for this follow-up series, then this will be an easy pass for me. I'm sure there's probably going to be the predictable rebuttal/defense in favor of this "Titanized" concept....yeah, nope, sorry.

That's what ruined Godzilla Vs. MMPR2 with the Kaiju/Rangers hybrids and the artwork didn't help either

[LSD Jellyfish]

I thought the MMPR Kaiju mechs were pretty cool in that other crossover. Issue wasn’t that; it was too many other elements and a confusing multiverse plot. I think it’ll be fine, but I am worried it’ll be a bit crammed. Wonder if Kong will get to do more in this one haha.

[ShinGojiX98]

Wonder if Kong will get to do more in this one haha.

Speaking about Kong in the previous Crossover he temporarily got Green Lantern's Ring, what he could get this time ? Something made by Batman, Shazam's Power ?

Issue #2 solication and cover (The first one looks like April O' Neil is applying a sleeper on Godzilla):

THE SUICIDE SQUAD'S MISSION IN HOLLOW EARTH GETS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS!

In the aftermath of the shocking ending of the last issue, Task Force X must re-evaluate their mission in Hollow Earth as they explore an unknown world.

Meanwhile the Justice League comes face-to-face again with Kong--but it's not the reunion they are expecting!

DC released a trailer for JLvsGvsK2 #1:

JLvsGvsK2 #3 covers and synopsis:

GODZILLA BRINGS THE BATTLE HOME!

Superman and Lex Luthor form an uneasy alliance to combat the Hollow Earth's monstrous Great Apes. But for Superman, the real challenge isn't just the towering Titans--it's his waning powers and Luthor's ever-present treachery.

Meanwhile, Wonder Woman and Batman wage their own battles against the Suicide Squad, edging closer to uncovering Task Force X's true plan for the creatures of G-Day Earth.

And just when things seem insurmountable, Godzilla returns--this time, he's on his home turf. He's not just looking for a fight; he's here to defend his realm as King of the Monsters!

Wonder if this means Skar King may be appearing.....zzzzzzz....

What’s with this “Superman’s waning powers?” It seems weird and unnecessary to de-power him for this crossover since Godzilla was able to go toe to toe with him in the last one with no buffs or nerfs on either side. The inevitable Superman vs. King Ghidorah fight is bound to be disappointing if there’s a handicap.

Maybe the implication is that Superman is still feeling the adverse effects of Godzilla’s nuclear breath from the last crossover? If not it seems lame.

[LSD Jellyfish]

Would be cool to see Skar King again. But it might feel like a repeat of what they did with Gorilla Grodd.

That being said, based on solicitations, this comic is beginning to feel like a chaotic mess. The first series had a RELATIVELY simple concept, but this feels downright crazy, and not in a good way.

A Godzilla crossover comic that had a first run with a relatively simple premise that delivered on it to the fandom's delight that comes back for a sequel that turns into a convoluted, bloated mess? Where have I seen this before....

Yeah....it's already convoluted enough as it is, and now they're throwing in the apes from Hollow Earth along with the Suicide Squad to boot...and wtf is "G-Day Earth"? And Task Force X? And why should we care? I hope I'm proven wrong, but this series seems to headed right into the same "Train wreck" territory as GvsMMPR2.

What makes it worse is that at least GvsMMPR1 was actually great, and the awful stench of GvsMMPR2 could never take that away. In contrast, JLvsGvsK1 was an underwhelming snooze fest that took itself far too seriously, and now JLvsGvsK2 seems to have gone off the rails before even a single issue has been released. Not a good sign...

Task Force X is just the “official” name of the Suicide Squad. It’s a bit unfair to judge how convoluted a story is from future solicitations from a story we haven’t even read the first issue. I’m not saying it won’t become convoluted but it’s silly to judge this early.

Of course, it’ll probably be fine. But I mean, damn it’s crowded. Ghidorah, Mothra, Rodan, Tiamat…now apes?

Speaking of, once again Tiamat’s design is confused. I see the weird comic one in the top image, but then we’ve got Dope Pope’s design in the second image.

Spoken like a reader who probably hasn't followed a single Godzilla comic series outside the Legendary comics, DC or Marvel crossers and thus cannot see the very obvious warning signs of where this series is most likely headed...

With that said, preview 1 pages are up on Comic Watch, if you have the patience to sit through all of the obnoxious ads to load...some of these comic sites are are so piss-poorly designed that it's utterly shocking (https://comic-watch.com/news/the-justic ... s-kong-2-1:

[LSD Jellyfish]

Issue 1 was okay. It seems mostly to be a set-up for the rest of the issues, which is fine I guess. It’s not as alarmingly bad as GVMMPR2, but I can’t shake the feeling that this’ll end up like that. Mainly it’s because there’s a lot of really rapid location switching and time differences, and the issue is very crowded.

Other than a lot of set-up, the issue mainly focuses on Godzilla vs a titanized King Shark, although the encounter is only two pages. I assume King Shark is a moderately popular character, and I know of him through osmosis, but it feels like a bit of a let-down to have him fight Godzilla compared to Godzilla vs Superman in the first issue of series one. The fight is pretty lame too, other than a moment where Godzilla death rolls the big King Shark.

Other than that, there’s some brief action with the Justice League on Skull Island with some Psychovultures(?), but it’s nothing too amazing. Kong appears, and IDK but it’s feeling repetitive to the first series in a lame way. There will be Kong on Skull Island, and Godzilla somewhere separately until the finale, again right? Here’s a neat idea, have Godzilla and Kong interact a little more.

Also, I can’t say I care about Barry Allen’s wedding. It’s signaling he’s going to die probably. The first issue with Superman and Lois Lane worked a lot better and this feels like another lamer repeat of that.

And I get that Task Force X is supposed to be filled with criminals…but why on earth is Lex Luthor there? He’s responsible…for everything from the last comic, and is known to be devious. Why on earth would some government agency want to work with him or trust him, even if their interests temporarily align? I get people like Peacemaker and King Shark being part of this. But anyone else is ridiculous…

And no sight of the Joker, of course.

[Godzilla18]

So I read issue 1. Not bad but not a whole lot has happened as once again they're just setting everything up. I don't understand why they don't just make the first issue a bit longer to get the setup started and get the story on a nice good flow at the same time but whatever. I was surprised by a certain character death although I never liked em to begin with so I'm glad they got what was coming to them. As for the strange appearance of another character I'll leave that in the spoilers below. The fight with Godzilla and King Shark was brief. I mean I would've liked that the fight lasted a little longer although him becoming giant was only a test and the process made him basically stupid which against Godzilla is a huge factor to cause anyone to lose to him among other big factors. Maybe we'll see them fight again later. I have to agree that it seems as though Barry might once again draw the short straw in terms of character deaths since they seem to be setting his up. And I know why the Suicide Squad is there but why the heck is Harley there too? I mean I get that she's a popular member of the team and all but honestly what is she gonna do? It would've made more sense to bring back Giganta and made her part of the team instead especially since we didn't see her get to fight Godzilla or Kong in the last crossover. It would've been fun even if the fight was short. Also I think they might've nerfed Superman and Supergirl when they got attacked by those Psychovultures since I think their beams weakened them like Godzilla's did to Supes in the last one just on a smaller less lethal scale. Probably as a means to make it that neither of them are overpowering the other titans in this crossover which would make sense when you think about it as Godzilla and Ghidorah are likely the only ones who can handle them in a fight. And maybe Shimo too. Overall it's a pretty good start but didn't leave me as anticipated for the next one like the first issue in the last series did.

Spoiler:

Also how in the hell did Lee Shaw end up in the DC Universe and young again I might add? I mean is this like a DC universe counterpart to the one we know? But even if he is how does he know about all the titans? Again this is confusing like how Mechagodzilla could appear before Ghidorah was killed.

[Gojira2K]

Read it myself as well. Decent start, but nothing that special just yet. Art is pretty good, nothing jumping out at me as bad.

Surprised how quick the Titanized King Shark vs. Godzilla fight was, thought it would be longer.

I'm guessing they are wanting to do the Titanizing thing in general for when Ghidorah returns. Maybe they'll have Ghidorah do the Alpha roar and it will re-Titanize anyone who was before. Giving threats from both the Monsterverse and DC universe in a combined form once again.

I know you're not really supposed to think about it, but it confuses me as to why Skull Island is even involved in the first place. It should basically be uninhabited due to Ghidorah's storm, so I don't know why they don't just start us off at Hollow Earth or somewhere else that leads to the Hollow Earth.

Definitely surprised as to why it's not Clark and Lois' wedding, based off of the ending of the first series. Will be curious to see if they tie that into the whole Flash wedding stuff.

And I get that Task Force X is supposed to be filled with criminals…but why on earth is Lex Luthor there? He’s responsible…for everything from the last comic, and is known to be devious. Why on earth would some government agency want to work with him or trust him, even if their interests temporarily align? I get people like Peacemaker and King Shark being part of this. But anyone else is ridiculous…

From my knowledge this feels pretty inline with Amanda Waller's character to me. She's very much, "I don't who I work with, what it takes, or what I do, I will do whatever it takes to achieve my goal" kind of person. So working with Luthor feels pretty on character for me.

And no sight of the Joker, of course.

If they are doing Joker in this I imagine he will be tied to Ghidorah. And since there was no teasing for Ghidorah, nothing for Joker just yet either.

And I know why the Suicide Squad is there but why the heck is Harley there too? I mean I get that she's a popular member of the team and all but honestly what is she gonna do?

Welcome to the whole point of the Suicide Squad in general.

[Monster-Fan]

Read the first issue. I think it was fine, I liked it. mostly a ste up for the next six issues. I can see why some people are worried for this to turn out like GvMMPR2, but I think it won’t be the case. That series had only five issues and was more fast paced, this one has seven issues and while the pace might be fast it’s much more ‘tame’ if we take a look at the previous series. For why Skull Island us still there and various things that might be confusing, I think it can be justified by the fact this Monsterverse is not the one we know but an adjent one that might have went through similar events but differed in some things. I wonder when Ghidorah, Mothra and Rodan are gonna appear. Since they have been teased so much by trailers and writers I really hope they won’t have a small role, especially Ghidorah. I suppose he might appear sooner than we think, but I’ll talk about it in the spoilers.

Now for some spoilers

Spoiler:

Waller’s death took me by surprise. If she would have died I would have exiected her to do so later on. Shaw might the version of this DC universe. The fight between Godzilla and King Shark was brief but I liked it overall. For Ghidorah appearing sooner than we think, we see Shaw saying that Harley and Cold will acquire some ‘coordinates’ and we see them in a snowy place with various structures, like a base. I think they might be in Antarctyca to free Ghidorah.

[ebirahsmeg1]

Bland, non-offensive first issue. Basically like "White Toast". Nothing noticeably bad or egregious, but not exactly exciting nor riveting either.

Things I liked:

- Artwork is good, and the tracing/"referencing" did not appear quite as obvious/blatant as it was during large chunks of the first series (though I didn't scrutinize it that closely, so I might have missed something...not invested enough to be honest).

- Godzilla vs King Shark was fun, albeit nothing spectacular compared to most battles in other G comics.

- I like the artistic depiction of Superman and Lois Lane...there are definite hints of Christopher Reeves and Margot Kidder.

Things I didn't like:

- Flash and his new wife's marriage is basically beat for beat the same as Superman/Lois Lane's interactions in JLvsGvsK1 #1. Also, there was literally no real build up whatsoever to this marriage / relationship during the first series, so when it comes to this wedding happening right off the bat, who cares (and why should we care)?

- No King Ghidorah, No Rodan, No Mothra. While they will appear eventually, their absence just made this feel like any of the random 7 issues from JLvsGvsK1, and made this issue just feel like more of the same....ho hum.

- Even more characters are being introduced (Legion of Boom just stands on the side while the Suicide Squad is introduced)...this is not exactly giving me much hope that this won't turn into a convoluted mess moving forward. Also, why is Luthor now part of the Suicide Squad? No offence to Suicide Squad "fans", but Luthor is far above this, and he's just not a good fit for this group at all.


As mentioned, a bland, non-offensive issue #1 that basically feels beat for beat very similar to issue #1 of the first series as well. In general, it lacks the spirit and energy of the GvsMarvel series and GvsMMPR1.

Will this lead to bigger and better things for issue #2 and beyond? I doubt it, but we shall see...
