King of the Monsters #7

Godzilla #7
“Birth of a Warrior!”
Doug Moench and Herb Trimpe

Plot Synopsis
Godzilla is awake, he’s escaped, and he’s head towards some nuclear missiles. Shit.

Rolling Commentary
That’s a great cover and a great splash-page to boot. Awesome.

Page 2. You know, now that you mention it, keeping a bunch of 100 feet-high nuclear devices out in the open air of your “secret” missile installation was probably not the best of plans.

Page 3. Yeah, Woo. Way to be a crappy secret agent. James Bond would have been in her bed an hour ago!

Page 5. Wow, for I guy named “Woo” you really suck at charming the ladies. And how does Tamara instantly know this is all the kid’s fault? Oh well, at least Ronin looks cool.

Page 7. That must be a hell of an elevator system that robot has.

Page 9. Yay! Back to Godzilla! And of course Godzilla has a long reach! Do you see how big the bastard is?

Page 12. Man, I really hate it when annoying little children suddenly become the only possible way to save the day…

Page 13. Goddamn kids. Do you know how much property damage you’ve caused already?!?

Page 14. Jesus. Yes, let’s just randomly destroy a mountain without thinking about who or what may be living on or nearby it. Stupid, stupid child!

Pages 16 and 17. Mmmm…. 2 page spread with lots of pay off. Sweetness….

Post Mortem
How about that last two pages, huh? Totally worth the price of admission. I love it when this comic goes all out Godzilla rage on us. Which meant this issue was pretty rocktastic. However, I really hate when we have some child become responsible for saving the universe. It’s such a clichéd anime plot line… oy.

Great issue. But hey, we have a giant robot versus Godzilla thing going here, so I’m going to stop wasting time and jump into the next issue already.
