    “Godzilla and Biollante aren’t monsters. It’s the unscrupulous scientists who create them that are monsters.”

    This quote from Dr. Shiragami in the awesome GODZILLA VS BIOLLANTE film blew my mind as a kid.

    The movie itself is awesome, and has one of Godzilla’s coolest-looking opponents. Biollante is Godzilla’s half-sister — and a half-plant — with the soul of a human girl thrown in for good measure. A monster with tentacles and a giant mouth full of teeth (that spews a glittery acid, no

    IDW Publishing has announced solicitations for the trade paperback Godzilla: World of Monsters, which will be available in August. The King of Monsters reigns supreme, no matter the timeline or world, in this compendium collecting three graphic novels — Gangsters & Goliaths by John Layman and Alberto Ponticelli, Cataclysm by Cullen Bunn and Dave Wachter, and Oblivion by Joshua Fialkov and Brian Churilla!

    First, in Gangsters & Goliaths, monster recognizes monster, which quickly becomes obvious when Godzilla collides head on with the Yakuza-dominated Tokyo underworld. In Cataclysm, does any hope remain for humanity in an apocalyptic future devastated by never-ending kaiju attacks? And, when a reckless scientist opens a portal to an alternate dimension ruled by Godzilla and his brethren, a single baby kaiju stowaway could spell disaster for our monster-free world, in Oblivion.
