    As soon as you open Mothra: Queen of the Monsters #1 you will immediately know that Sophie Campbell and Matt Frank are crafting a special kaiju comic book. There is so much depth to the world building that branches off the premise of the fall of Mothra. This is easily one of the best balance storytelling between the human and kaiju characters. The artwork takes that storytelling to another level with how epic everything that happens looks. Read Full Review

There are teases enough to suggest monster battles in plenty in future issues. Read Full Review
