Lo que me gusta de Kaijumax es que el autor conoce sus limitaciones como dibujante y como narrador, algo con lo que me siento totalmente identificado. Se nota que es un loco del género de monstruos japoneses, y que lo que quiere es dibujar las historias que le gustan, como debe ser. En el camino consigue evolucionar con detallitos técnicos, uso de luces, paleta de colores aplicada con sentido... y eso en la edicion de gran formato gana muchísimo. Creo que se complementa perfectamente con “Master of Monsters”, pero incluso solo los extras de Kaijumax sirven para quien quiera profundizar en las infinitas referencias del género. La única pega: historias facilonas y llenas de clichés de películas y series de prisiones, parodiadas casi sin remordimiento, personajes potentes que van y vienen sin cerrarse sus tramas... Aún así, me lo guardo como un comic que yo sería capaz de dibujar.

Loved the story and the art! So many references to other pop culture. Highly recommended if you like kaiju

Book One: Deluxe Edition was a monster sized 'Oz'...
Book Two?
It's 'Orange Is The New Black' with a liberal interspersing of the Cthulu mythos.
It largely follows two SEVERELY traumatized Ultraman-esque humans, Dr. Zhang and Jeong. They were put through the wringer during the last two seasons and their stories continue here in the female Kaiju prison. Several characters carry over from the events in the first 12 issues. There's never a quiet day in Kaijumax, my Lizza.
In this deluxe edition we've also got more kaiju movie history, creator notes and a bunch of cover art.
Bonus: '...and I'll form the head!' Has to be the weirdest Voltron homage I've seen
Bonus Bonus: Dino-EMT's? Almost better than the true Dinobots

Reading Kaijumax with the extra little notes at the bottom is a true delight. I'm looking forward to reading Book Three when its out!
