GODZILLA LEGENDS - MOTHRA: QUEEN OF THE MONSTERS
by Sophie Campbell and Matt Frank
Available now
You may have noticed the sheer number of new Godzilla comics hitting the shelves, in part because I've been reviewing (and will continue to review) quite a few of them. But as much as I love the King of the Monsters, my heart will always belong to the Queen. And fortunately for myself and fellow fans, Mothra has her own new comic that's as exciting to read as it is beautiful to look at.
First things first, this comic has a dream team in charge. Sophie Campbell, whose comic credits include writing and art for Jem and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is in the writer's chair for this one. Penning the art is Matt Frank, whose name should be extremely well known to kaiju fans. (I discovered him through his recent Gojiham collab artwork and have loved everything else I've seen him do.) The result is a story that treads new ground while still being evocative of classic Mothra stories.
The story takes place after the fall of Mothra in a battle against Antra, a fearsome new foe. As humanity struggles to survive, Mira discovers that there may be hope when her twin sister Emi, whom she believed to be dead, returns with news. Together, the two may have the power to bring Mothra back. But they'll have to work together, which isn't easy considering the literal and personal distance that has grown between the two.
Mothra: Queen of the Monsters is a beautiful story of the bonds of family, but also a good old-fashioned epic kaiju fight. If the names attached to this title have gotten your hopes up, good: they both deliver. This is an absolutely gorgeous comic, and a worthy story for the Queen of the Monsters.
