Random Recommended Readings! Godzilla Rulers of the Earth

Hello and welcome to Random Recommended Readings! Just a little idea I came up with to share various story arcs, cross overs, events, or even one-shots. Of course the big two are going to get love, but I want to focus a tad bit more on Image, Dark Horse, and IDW and such. Stories ranging from old to current, else worlds, to canon universes!

I plan to post at least 2 RRRs a week when I can, but when I do, I promise they'll be worth checking out.

To start off our first RRR, we'll be focusing on the Big G, the mean green Kaiju machine; of course you know him, Godzilla!

IDW's ongoing series focusing on a race on alien that want to(of course) take over Earth using the local Kaiju.

Now, why should you read this besides the fact that it's a Godzilla title?

Plot

The story takes on two different view points. One from a young news reporter following Godzilla around. And the other point of view is of a solider that fights against invading Kaiju. Both characters are nothing interesting in their own ways. Along with colorful side characters it feels a tad bit more realistic when they interact.

Now the idea of aliens invading Earth has been done to death in all forms of media. Godzilla comics, movies, and such are known for having aliens use Kaiju to fight for them. But in this series, the aliens are actually interesting. Sure they're not space cockroaches in human skin, or Xlians. But they have a uniqueness that seperates them from the rest. With alien weapons,tenticals, shape shifting and more, they're definitely a cool race.

Art Work

This is by far the best artwork for a Godzilla book IDW has ever done. In the past IDW series the art was, let's face it, pretty darn bad. But this series, the way the capture the emotion and detail in the Kaiju's faces lets you know what they're feeling. And it's over all just nice to look at when you have pages like this....

You just know it's going to be a good comic.

Kaiju Action

Man oh man, you get a lot of action in this series. First two issues it's Godzilla vs. American Godzilla! Next issues they bring in military to fight these small versions of-

Better slow down there! Don't want to spoil every thing for you guys. But you get a weeks worth of Kaiju action every issue. Unlike some where an entire issue will focus on the humans, there is an equilibrium in this series.

Plus if you've always wanted to see the underdogs get spot light, now's your chance to see it happen! You get Manda, Gezora, Orga, Varan, and so many other lesser known Kaiju in this series, hell, some times it's an entire issue focusing on them.

All in all the series has a nice amount of action and story, cool human characters, great art, and is just a straight up fun ride. I highly recommend reading this series if you're a Kaiju junkie like I am.
And only six issues into the series, it's not to late to hop aboard!
