King of the Monsters: Giant Robot All Out Attack!

Godzilla #8
“Titan Times Two!”
Doug Moench and Herb Trimpe


Synopsis
Godzilla versus Red Ronin, all out monster attack fest! Whoo!

Rolling Commentary
Page 3. Why do I want Godzilla to kill this robot so much? It’s probably not very healthy.

Page 4. Dumb, dumb, dumb. This is why children shouldn’t steal and try to use giant military robots to fight giant monsters.

Page 6. Honestly? I’d be surprised if Woo gets to keep his secret agent license after all this is over.

Page 7. I’m really learning to hate this kid.

Page 9. Wait, Commander Dugan, could you please restate what you said in panel 1 in a way that a.) is comprehendible and b.) is actually logical, rational, and intelligent?

Page 10. Yeah, you’re boned.

Page 12. This is pretty badass, right here.

Page 14. Dude, Red Ronin’s got built in Captain America capabilities too! Awesome! Although, he might want his shield to be a little bigger.

Page 16. Can we press charges against this kid for damaging federal property or something? I mean, shouldn’t the Japanese ambassador be at the pentagon or something, making multiple apologies? And hey, why didn’t Dr. Takiguchi or Tony Stark build in an override device to prevent all this?

Page 17. Yes. Sending Godzilla further into the main land is a good idea. Riiiight.

Post Mortem
Robot monster smash! Man, they just keep the violence and destruction a-comin' in this book, don’t they? After the Dr. Demonicus stuff these last couple of issues have really been back in top form. Huzzah!

Not enough monster battles take place in water. That was really cool stuff, ships getting toppled over, the harbor destroyed- I thought it was really cool and really well executed. Hurray Mister Trimpe!

We’re a third the way through. Now, what could Godzilla possibly destroy next time?
