Just a hint of a story, only incredible art and scenes of Gojira fighting in hell. My stupid thirteen year old me loves it.
Very interesting to see a comic from this vantage point. Several seemingly interwoven tales that seldom have any words, only the trumpeting roar of our lead character. Non-traditional comic, but very fun and interesting to take in.
A showcase of some very nice artwork. 3.5 stars.
I’ve never read a Godzilla comic before so I’m not sure if this is like Hellboy in Hell where it’s the next part of a years-long story or whether Godzilla in Hell is just a one-off, standalone Elseworlds-type deal. It seems self-contained anyway so newbs like me can experience comic book Godzilla in a done-in-one book. Godzilla’s in Hell – never has a title been so apt! A different creative team handles each of the five issues, all of which are silent except for issue two, which makes sense – Go...
The anthology nature of this essentially wordless (with the exception of one installment) comic makes it bound to be a mixed bag, but for the most part Godzilla in Hell is visually inventive, weirdly meditative, and, of course, a quick read, because it's a relatively thin comic containing almost no words.
Recently, I've been trying to watch all the Godzilla films. It's been a goal of mine since childhood. That said, I've also been wanting to read a few Godzilla graphic novels. Thus Godzilla in Hell. And I was impressed with it. It was like a Dante Alighieri's Inferno version of Godzilla. Even though it was a graphic novel of few words, the illustrations were great to look at. Godzilla in Hell? Who would've thought?
Incredible art but hardly any storyline/plot to this at all
In one sense, inexplicable. In another, obvious. Godzilla smashing cities up and fighting other monsters is cool - so having him smash up Pandemonium and fight horrible weird-ass infernal beasts will obviously be even cooler. There's little in the way of plot, just an opportunity for the five artists to go wild with the concept.James Stokoe has already demonstrated how well his ghastly, intricate style suits this sort of stuff; his colleagues do just as well in styles ranging from homage to the
Not sure what this book was trying to say…Other Godzilla books from IDW at least established some sort of storyline before devolving into a comic version of the worst Godzilla films (i.e. big monsters fighting other big monsters with little to no commentary). At the end I was able to see what they were trying to accomplish, but I shouldn’t have to wait until the last few pages to get to that point. At best this was a misguided attempt to do an “artsy” Godzilla book, and at its worst it is a glor...
"It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles." Godzilla rocks, but this collection felt pretty light in content. It is more like a collective art book with a single overarching theme than a straight forward story. With that said, all of the art was spectacularly done, and the battle scenes were well executed. It may have an introduction sequence by Stokoe but overall it did not satisfy me the way his Half Century War did. Honestly reviewed for Netgalley. (Honestly)
Ok, only true Godzilla fans will be able to enjoy this as this story is pretty much just an excuse for the creators to have Godzilla fight whatever they want. As the story is pretty basic with just Godzilla trying to escape hell. But the final part of the story is really confusing and hard to understand as it feels the is a part missing. But the artwork in this book is really amazing with so many references not only to the Godzilla franchises but also funny enough to many classics like Dante's I...
What a stupid idea. What AMAZING execution! I can't believe how well this works. There's barely any words, just a big monster wandering through the various circles of hell. But the tone really sells it, and the different artists really make it come alive. Godzilla comics tend to be doomed to the typical mediocrity of franchise tie-ins, but this rises above for a genuinely new experience. I also highly recommend Stokoe's Half-Century War. Very different but just as good.
Big fan of the segment drawn by Dave Wachter. The visual of Godzilla trotting through the Torii is really beautiful and I need that printed and framed ASAP.It's a Godzilla comic, so extremely action-packed, but still a very meditative read.I agree with something another user mentioned; I would have loved to see more Hieronymus Bosch-esque visuals.
Hard to follow at times but still incredibly fun. Issue 2 is absolutely gorgeous! Wonderful for anyone who loves monster fights and has about a half hour to spare.
This is a challenge to review. The series doesn’t really have a story, but is rather a series of events and adventures that Godzilla has while in hell. Even these tend to be vaguely defined (who are what is the “Lust” Monster?), which does help give the series an interesting if vague tone. I should also note that there is basically nothing to read, meaning you can blaze through all five comics in about 10 minutes.The real stand out part of this series is the art however. Each comic is done by a
When I heard the title, I thought this will be great. Oh, how wrong I was. While the art in the book was quite good, what is the point of it? There is no plot. It's just Godzilla walking through Hell fighting demons that attack him. He can't be killed. It's pointless.Received an advance copy from IDW and Netgalley.
This isn't really much of a story so much as an artist showcase, with each issue/chapter drawn by a different artist. Just based on the first two artists I'd give it 4 stars, but in the end it evened out to a respectable 3 stars.
Ok..let me be clear- no matter what the blurb says: Do Not Believe It. Do not buy this for the story. There isn't much of one, except the barest outline of a premise- Godzilla in Hell. So how could this awful premise still rate three stars from me? Simple- I took it as an art book.There are five different stories in this collection. Each one is drawn by a different artist and also has a unique setting (or consider a different level of Hell-almost like Dante). The art styles are all uniformly goo...
This was a weird series, on one hand, the art was beautiful one of my favs from the godzilla franchise so far. On the other hand, the storyline was confusing and lacked coordination, I was confused for 3/5 of the issues on what was actually happening. It was kind of funny though i love how godzilla is like "im immortal bitches so fuck everything" type of vibe.
It’s God... zilla All jokes aside this is absolutely amazing I love it one might say that it’s a ridiculous concept but come on Godzilla himself is a ridiculous concept you’re not supposed to take it seriously you’re supposed to have fun with it. I do have a a few complaint’s however why’s hell so easy? also how the fuck did Godzilla kill God himself? How did Godzilla beat the devil? Those aspects of this comic book really piss me off although religion itself pisses me off and is a ridiculous co...
