COMIC CON TEASER
An epic rebirth to Toho's iconic Godzilla, this spectacular adventure pits the world's most famous monster against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity's scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.
Godzilla is a new, upcoming movie by Monsters director, Gareth Edwards. Godzilla 2014hits theaters May 16th, 2014 in 3D and stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Bryan Cranston & Elizabeth Olsen.
I am hoping for some answers to who Godzilla is fighting , and why. The title is Awakening, so maybe it will have some clues to who is behind Awakening him, other than the obvious government answers.
What did you think of the cover art reveal?
Will you get a copy before the movie comes out?
It doesn't spoil the movie does it? Not that there's a chance of that happening...
ReplyDeleteThe way understand it it gives a background to what the movie will explain.
ReplyDeleteSimilar to Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero.
I hadn't heard! Hopefully this will cut down on the exposition so he can get to the monster stomping.
ReplyDeleteI'll never understand why they make us pay for these.
ReplyDeleteHA!
ReplyDeleteFor the enthusiast. They know we will get our hands on whatever might give us just a little more of the experience.
ReplyDeleteHEY JUST LIKE DOPE FIENDS!
Arthur Adams has always been one of my favorite comic artists. I like the best the comic-con teaser trailer. Maukie says HI. :-)
ReplyDeleteMEOW!
ReplyDeleteFor a one and done type thing they pulled together a lot of talent.
Yeah, I get that Man, but why not make a free download or bundle it with a Bluray? I guess I'm not the target market. I'll probably buy the comic though.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered will Godzy ever find true love! If she finds a hubs for herself she will be less cranky and will lose all those angry wrinkles....
ReplyDeleteSorry, my immediate reaction goes a little something like this:
ReplyDeleteRaaar!
Godzilla just needs a Snickers Bar!
ReplyDeleteHa! My son has a Godzilla Graphic Novel called Godzilla Rulers of Earth. I read it and did the sound effects. My son was not impressed.
ReplyDeleteThat is one very cool cover!
ReplyDeleteArthur Adams does some great work.
ReplyDeletewhat do they mean HE? Me thought Godzie is a lady?
ReplyDeleteI think the 1998 movie was the only confirmation that Godzilla was a female or Asexual. It is true that Godzilla had a son before in the older movies, but it was never discussed how he came about.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen many Godzilla movies, maybe just one :) I've always fancied that she's a lady and that she has hatched eggs and ruins the cities because the eggs are hidden under the city grounds :) That's just my imagination I guess....
