BHOC: GODZILLA #24

I wasn't used to Marvel titles wrapping up their runs cleanly. In my experience, when a Marvel book would come to an end--such as CHAMPIONS or NOVA--the series would be left in a cliffhanger state with outstanding business left to be wrapped up. That business would generally get tied off in some other Marvel book … Continue reading BHOC: GODZILLA #24

GODZILLA was a book that was probably more my younger brother Ken's speed than mine. he was the one in the family who was a fan of monster movies and the like, whereas I couldn't be bothered with them.

BHOC: GODZILLA #8

My brother Ken was a fan of monster movies. Whenever Channel 7's 4:30 movie would cycle around to monster week, he'd be there, glued to the set.
