GO-GO GODZILLA!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This graphic novel, based on the film "Godzilla 1985" is fine proof of Godzilla being the King of the Monsters. Here, Godzilla sheds the "friend to all children" stuff, & unveils himself as the living nightmare he really always was. A walking mountain of flesh & hate, with no "off switch"--merely ever amped-up levels of raw, naked power. Well illustrated, slickly written, & set in the Cold War era, it is certain to please the true kaiju (Japanese for "giant monster") fan.

Godzilla going manga? I thought that was cool, and turns out so is this book. It's a nice change from the usual American-style that Dark Horse always does. Now all the Big G needs is his own non-dubbed anime and he's set. Godzilla does appear different from his usual look, but that by no means takes away from his giant dinosaur charm. He's still as cool as ever. This is also one of the few books where Godzilla actually looks more closely at human beings, courtesy of the main characters. Not a bad book. Maybe he should team up with Astro Boy or something.
Oh no! There goes Tokyo...

This book is a faithful, surprisingly powerful and moving graphic adaptation of the movie "Godzilla 1985". The black and white pages add a somber tone to the tale of the disasterous return of a monster the world has thought long dead. Godzilla himself is lovingly drawn, as are the battle scenes between the Big G and the JSDF's ultimate weapon - the Super-X. The story is sometimes jarred by the "cartoony" appearance of some of the human characters, but overall this is a book any kaiju fan will want to read again and again.
