Rated T
Godzilla vs. X-Men #1 is a different beast from its predecessors. While it does live up to its "Vs." title, it's more interested in seeing how the King of the Monsters and the Children of the Atom share a similar struggle. Read Full Review
Godzilla Vs. X-Men #1 has the same feeling of an X-Men comic, but elevated with the energy of an exciting Kaiju story. Read Full Review
