review:
'Godzilla: Oblivion' by Joshua Hale Fialkov with art by Brian Churilla is a Godzilla story of other dimensions. I've read better Godzilla stories and the art was pretty weak.

A group of brainiac scientists develop a portal. When they start it up and go through it, they discover a parallel world that has been decimated by giant monsters. Contacting a group of soldiers in the other world, they find out that Godzilla is what keeps the other monsters in check, even at the cost of a destroyed city. When one of that world's monsters makes it through the scientist's portals, things go from bad to worse.

I liked the idea of the story. It felt a bit predictable, and I even figured it was going to end the way it did. Having giant kaiju in your world is never a good thing. The art feels a bit slap-dash. It's got a hasty looking sketch style that just didn't work for me with the story and characters. I want epic art for my Godzilla stories, and this wasn't it.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from IDW Publishing, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
