It varies on the artist, but this is the same Rodan. If the Rodans were different, then I'm sure we would know that. If you notice the physical similarities, like how Rodan has two head crests and whatnot.

I don't recognize the art (or name), but that's definitely our sample script that's being worked off of. My guess would be that it's someone that was talked to pre-or-during Kingdom of Monsters, which I don't have any personal insight about.

I don't believe I've ever talked to him, so no... no plans for him on anything.

I should show some other versions of this sample script sometimes. Stokoe's is a hoot.

Bobby,

Any Godzilla plans for Stokoe after "Half Century War" is completed? His stuff looks amazing on the preview pages.

Not at this time, no. I know he wants to get back to Orc Stain and other stuff. I know he's had a great time though, so hopefully one day!

I would have to double check, but I believe we could, given the correct context.

Bobby-

How often do you guys have to renew your contract with Toho?

Once again congrats on great sales for #3! With the high praise of HCW as well I hope this says to you guys to keep doing Godzilla comics for a long time? I feel like you guys have barely scratched the surface of what you can do with Godzilla and I am very excited!

New Godzilla on-going series is so much better than the G-KOM that it is like night and day. Much more detail and effort in the art, the line drawing alone shows how much more time and attention the team is putting into this assignment. I just picked up three copies of Half Century War #1 and I feel this comic is as good as any English Godzilla Comic ever. It is right up there and in some cases better than even the excellent Legends Series. Incredible detail in the panels, good story, great balance of monster and human drama. I hope enough people are purchasing these titles to insure a long publication duration, but I noticed a large drop off from issues 1 to 2 to 3 of the new series. I mean I can't buy all the darn issues myself. Please pass along my compliments to the creative team behind these new Godzilla comics. I was a very vocal and outspoken critic about the crap previous series. I call them like I see them. Godzilla would be proud of the current work coming down the pike. Now if only there was a way to wrestle Gamera and King Kong into the mix...

Hi Gator,

I'm not sure as to the particulars of our contract. Once every few years, I would imagine.

I wouldn't say #3 sales are great. Healthy, stable... and that's good. I'm hoping they can stay where they are, as that ensures a long life. But i'd be even happier if they were higher! But thanks very much for your support and kind words. I too feel like we're just getting started. It's nice that HCW is out, and folks can see more of our 'big picture' for Godzilla.

And dmarks, much the same to you... thanks for your kind words, and I'm really, really happy you didn't give up on us when you disliked KOM so much. I know everyone involved with both books are working their asses off. Thanks for the support.

Hi Bobby,

Just wondering, do you guys have plans for more mini-series later this year/next year?

Also,congrats on launching Godzilla: The Half Century War!!
IGN gave it a perfect 10/10 score!!!!

CBR also gives praise as well:

Thanks Kurt... very happy with the good reviews!

I'd love to do more minis. We're currently examining some different options. One factor is how continued sales do. Half Century War has performed a little under expectations, but I'm hopeful that we won't see much drop off for subsequent issues.

However, a lot of retailers will act like usual and order less #2. So make sure you pre-order it and other issues now!

(sorry, didn't intend to turn this into a 'pre-order' discussion, but it's important!!)

No worries Bobby. You, like the rest of us, want these comics to do exceptionally well so they can continue to be made for years to come.

And pre-orders are important!
