Word Of The Nerd - Daniel Kelly
Sep 02, 2019I am firmly in the target audience for this comic. As a kid in the 1990s, I would partake in all monster content I could and often wondered how I would fare with Godzilla by my side. Thankfully, in 2019, I can now live vicariously through Kid Kaiju. Read Full Review

Aug 28, 2019There isn't much to the story beyond visuals (and an amusing callback to a character from classic literature), but if you're in to watching giant monsters brawl it's a fun time. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Olivier Roth
Aug 30, 2019This issue may not be for everyone, especially at a $4.99 price tag. However, having looked at the preview for this issue, it should not come as a surprise that it is mostly a pin-up book with a little bit of story attached to it. Read Full Review

Multiversity Comics - Beau Q.
Sep 02, 2019If you're buying "Marvel Monsters" #1, you're buying it for Superlog and Gaigan-Yamazaki's Showa-era Kirby-adjacent cutaways. Boldly inked monsters set atop intentional palette shifted red-oranges with subtitles in English AND furigana" the only quality distancing these pages apart from literal lost treasures is the glossy paper they're printed on.

Weird Science Marvel Comics - jddunsany
Aug 28, 2019I like Kid Kaiju and his menagerie of monsters, but this is thin fare. While I appreciate the effort put in by the various artists (Stephanie Hans' stuff is just gorgeous), the decision by Marvel to sell a cut-price art book and wrap it up in an almost insultingly superficial story is a poor one. Everyone writer, artists, but most importantly the reader gets short-changed by that approach. Read Full Review

While Marvel Monsters 1 was fantastically drawn, it does not appear there will be any type of follow up to this issue and it makes me question why Marvel published this issue at all. While I presumed Marvel Monsters would be a crazy fun monster romp, it ended up being a rushed yet beautifully drawn set-up issue, even though it doesn't appear something will be set up

Meh, the drawings were cool.

Picking up this book, I was under the impression we'd be seeing awesome kaiju battles. Instead what you get is an extremely lackluster story that leaves nothing to be desired for issue 2, and about 10 pages of Marvel monster diagrams (beautifully drawn though). It's a shame Marvel put something like this out for $5.

Well, I liked the art... I flipped through everything else pretty quickly.

Aside from the pinups and cross-sections, the point is to pitch a new volume of Monsters Unleashed. Cullen Bunn is the only person who really wants that series; I think the sales figures on this one-shot will probably back that up.
