What if you could predict when and where Godzilla would appear? What if you knew of the perfect opportunity to pull off the heist of the century? Jai is a young man who knows two things: A heist needs a good distraction, and there's no distraction like Godzilla. So, when Jai discovers Godzilla responds to specific energy signals he can send into the atmosphere, he creates the perfect opportunity to stage high-profile heists in the middle of Godzilla attacks. But these heists put Jai on the radar of some very dangerous men, men who want Jai to work with them to pull off the most dangerous job the world has ever seen!

Jan 09, 2025(Image Source: IDW Publishing / Kelsey Ramsay)All in all, fans of Godzilla and crime dramas will both be well-served by Godzilla: Heist #1. One wouldn't think the two genres would mesh as well as they do. Yet mesh they do. This is an imaginative story, and one I think only the comic book medium could do justice. Read Full Review

Feb 19, 2025Godzilla Heist #1 is a fresh take on a classic monster. Van Jensen has come up with a completely original story involving one of the greatest monsters in pop culture. Just when you think you know where the story is going in this first issue, we get a complete swerve and a reveal of a popular Godzilla foe. All of that and this is just issue number one.

Feb 24, 2025Overall, Godzilla: The Heist is an enjoyable, if somewhat flawed, entry into the Godzilla comic lineup. The art is textured and immersive, the colors are stellar, and while the writing has its moments, it ultimately falls into familiar, uninspired territory. If you're a Godzilla fan or just love a good monster-meets-heist concept, it's worth a lookbut temper your expectations. Read Full Review

I'm intrigued. A little cliche at times but it has some fun potential to be a good twist on your typical Godzilla story.
