Monsters Unleashed is a simple book, but that's part of it's charm. As a fan of big monster movies myself, this issue satisfies my love of monster brawls and goofy plots. There's nothing really deep under the surface of the book, but there's still enough heart behind Kei and his team to make you root for their adventures and keep reading along. Read Full Review

Kei and Aegis go charging into a Cthulhu ripoff situation to help Elsa. This title is wobbling down the slope from "fun for all ages" to "aiming at young, uncritical readers excuses mediocre storytelling," but it hasn't quite reached that sad destination yet. Bachan's art is fine for mecha and monsters but lets us down tremendously when it comes to people. Elsa's drawn in that curious caricature style that makes me think I'm looking at an old Mad Magazine parody.
