Reviews for Godzilla: The Half-Century War (GN)

Even if you're not a Godzilla fan, this book is worth your attention and dollar. -Geekality (10 out of 10) Art aside, what really makes this book work is the way Stokoe tells his story. It's engaging, thrilling and beautiful. I can't stress this enough, folks, buy this book. It's a must read and a must own. -IGN (10 out of 10) It is certainly difficult to try and decide what is better, Stokoe's art or his script. I can't tell you how happy I am that I took a chance on this book the other day. It was such an amazing read that I felt compelled to write this review even though I met my quota for the week. I want to spread the good word about Godzilla: The Half Century War in hopes that others can find the joy that can only be found with a two hundred foot tall irradiated, fire breathing lizard. -Read Comic Books (10 out of 10)
