France is in danger when the mysterious egg that washes ashore begins to hatch, but should the military be worried about what's inside the egg or those creepy kids who found it? Also, a community of monks has a religious experience of the 3-headed variety. And all the while, Godzilla seems hell-bent on coming to America...but hasn't Anguirus already claimed it as his turf? Fight! Fight!
I was uncertain about this series from the get-go, as much as I've liked Godzilla since I was a kid, but Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters #4 is the issue that officially hooked me, and I'm in for the full ride. Read Full Review
Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters #4Posted: Saturday, July 2, 2011By: Ray Tate Eric Powell, Tracy MarshPhil Hester, Bruce McCorkindale (i), Ronda Pattison (c)IDW As Godzilla and Anguirus meet and a soldier looks upon the current generation with disdain, the quality of the artwork matches the previous issues.

Hopefully it contains more monsters and less melodrama. Read Full Review
