Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone #1
Writer: Ethan S. Parker, Griffin Sheridan
Artist: Pablo Tunica
Publisher: IDW Publishing
What’s going on inside the Deadzone?! Find out in the second book of the Kai-Sei era, IDW’s new connected Godzilla universe!
Inside the new IDW Godzilla universe, there exists a mystery larger than any other… what is the Deadzone? Inhabitants of this new world know the Deadzone to be a walled-off portion of the Pacific Northwest, sequestered after the most disastrous Godzilla attack the country has ever faced. The government would have its citizens believe that nothing is still alive inside the Deadzone… but do you believe that?
There are stories of a man. Or rather… a half kaiju, half man… who travels freely throughout the Deadzone. Some say he can even kill a kaiju. Some say… he’s not the only of his kind.
Ethan S. Parker and Griffin Sheridan craft a new kaiju tale, pushing the boundaries of what I was expecting. Along with Pablo Tunica‘s gritty artwork, the creative team delivered a fantastic addition to the Godzilla comics legacy, where we can expect the unexpected. Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone is a testament to why I shouldn’t underestimate series like these. It is a thrilling must-read for those looking for more from the Godzilla universe.
