Godzilla #1
Writer: Tim Seeley
Artist: Nikola Čižmešija
Publisher: IDW Publishing
In 1954, experimentation with a mysterious energy source known as Kai-Sei awakened Godzilla and a host of immortal kaiju. In the years that followed, humanity has been pummeled by near-constant monster attacks. While Japan has begun to treat the kaiju like natural disasters, understanding that their attempts to fight Godzilla only make the threat worse, the American G-Force is going to fight, fight, fight.
The Americans have just discovered the ultimate tool in the fight against kaiju: a young boy named Jacen with the power of Godzilla. Able to harness the mysterious Kai-Sei in the same vein as the King of the Monsters, this boy will either save the world… or bring about its doom.
Godzilla #1 is an extraordinary start to the Kai-Sei era at IDW Publishing. Between Tim Seeley‘s outstanding script and Nikola Čižmešija fantastic illustrations, this debut issue is a thrilling kick-off packed with action and a bit of heart. Though I was a fringe fan prior to reading this issue, I feel Seeley and Čižmešija have officially turned me into a die-hard reader now. Seeley and Čižmešija kick-off the Kai-Sei era in a sensational way, making it a must-read for long time fans and those looking to dive into the world of Godzilla for the first time. – CLICK HERE to read our entire review

Beneath TP
Writer: Steven Deknight
Artist: Michael Gaydos
Publisher: Mad Cave Studios
Deputy Sheriff Jess Delgado is tasked with transporting the sole survivor of a mysterious attack along the Texas-Mexico border to CoreCivil, a for-profit immigration detention center closing down due to wide-spread protests. Housing only a handful remaining detainees and manned by a skeleton crew of disgruntled guards, the detention center becomes a desperate battle ground when something otherworldly emerges from deep below the earth. Something that only fears the light. Deputy Delgado must pull together the guards and detainees — two groups that hate and fear each other — to survive the night. Or fall to the vengeance of the things that live beneath.
Beneath is a beautiful blend of real-life horrors and supernatural terror that is both suspenseful and thought-provoking. Steven S. Deknight crafts a story that feels like an homage to classics such as The Thing and Tremors, while Michael Gaydos vividly brings these horrors to life in each and every panel. Together they’ve created a horror graphic novel that has the promise of being one of my favorites this year. Beneath is an absolute must-read horror comic. – CLICK HERE to read our entire review
