Oh Godzilla, You Devil

Thirty some years ago, I used to pretend I was Godzilla and stomp my kid brother around the living room. Today, as an alleged fully-grown adult, I have the lucky job of writing about the actual Godzilla tromping on entire cities (and presumably, many, many living rooms). Sometimes, your childhood dreams do come true.

Anyway, tomorrow! Grab yer wallets and head to your local comic book shops and snap up a bunch of copies of Godzilla #1, my first issue of a new IDW series with art by the psychotic Simon Gane and rockin' Rhonda Pattison, and edited by bunker-busterin' Bobby Curnow. The first issue has a bunch of extra action-packed pages; subsequent issues will include guest essays from notable giant monster fans such as David J. Schow and Christos Gage.

And early reviews are good! Newsarama's Best Shots Team says #1 is "a great comic that monster movie fans will love."

Hope my fellow kaiju fans dig it. If you do pick it up, let me know what you think in the comments section.
