Review: Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong

Jonathan TowryDecember 31, 2023Reviews

The title of this book tells you everything you need to know about the plot. This story does not exist in the main DC cannon. Some might be disappointed but I feel this is a plus because the writer is able to do what ever they want. I was surprised at how well they explained why Godzilla showing up in the DC universe. The first issue setup how this all happened and the second issue has a great battle between a Bat kiju and the Bat family. Overall I don’t have anything really negative to say. The story is silly but fun. You can tell the writer has a love of the characters and is having a good time playing with these characters. There are lots of callous and Easter eggs in the first two issues and plenty of cameos from DC and the monsterverse. I’m very much looking forward to seeing where they take us next.
