Shawn Lealos Comic Reviews

Now, it is a hard read if you are not familiar with the I Saw Santa series, but I would highly recommend you seek those two comics out and read them because they are a great read, and the sequel looks to add to the brilliance of horrific Christmas mayhem in what seems to be becoming a tradition for Image Comics.

The first issue introduces a lot, from Eddie’s situation and reasons for pretending to be Spawn to the trouble he is about to find himself in when both a mass murderer known as Mr. Black and a supernatural being known as Venator start hunting him down. In the end, Spawn 77 is an interesting start to some new Spawn mythology, and it is even more intriguing for anyone who has followed McFarlane’s career since his original breakout.

What sells The Horror of Godzilla is that this is not a sci-fi story like the movies or an adventure tale like other comics. This is pure and unadulterated horror. Godzilla melted people in the last issue, and in this one, it does far worse. Godzilla seems to be able to create its own zombie-like army out of survivors, and there are other creatures coming up from the depths to make it seem like the worst is yet to come. There are moments in the Godzilla scenes that are pure nightmare fuel, and the art does not hold back at all when showing the gross-out moments that follow Godzilla’s rampage. Morrison’s story delivers the plot, but Godzilla’s rampage delivers the gore that makes this such a great horror tale on every level.
