Scott's Take: Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong 2 by Brian Buccellato and Illustrator Christian Duce

 

Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong 2 by Brian Buccellato, illustrated by Christian Duce is the sequel to Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong. In this story, Amanda Waller has decided to take the Suicide Squad to Legendary Earth (Godzilla and friends (King Kong, Mothra, and others). She has come up with the brilliant idea to steal the DNA of the Titans (giant monsters) and turn it into a serum. She then injects that into super criminals  making them giant feral creatures to enforce her world.

 

Of course, the Justice League realizes this is a really bad idea and decide to stop her. Unfortunately, the DC Universe heroes are outmatched because two of their heaviest hitters, Supergirl and Superman, do not get the solar power they need to be as strong as usual on this planet. So, they may need the serum themselves to even the odds…

 

This is action packed adventure with solid art work and decent character work. There is a lot of science fiction concepts in this tale at work. If you want to see Batman piloting a giant mech or Superman fighting Godzilla then this is the book for you.

 

I think the first one was better, but this is still a fun read. There is setup for another book in the series, but we will see if that happens, Part of the ending was deliberately vague, which was very annoying, and that couple be the springboard for a new read.

Scott's Take: Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong by Brian Buccellato, illustrator Christian Duce, and illustrator Tom Derenick

Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong by Brian Buccellato, illustrator Christian Duce, and illustrator Tom Derenick, features Lex Luthor and the Legion of Doom having the brilliant idea to use Godzilla, Kong, and others to destroy the Justice League. Despite the fact they know they can’t control them; Lex and friends unleash the Titans upon the world. That means it is time for the Justice League to save the world again.

 

Most of the main Justice League heroes are involved except for the Martian Manhunter. I guess having the team communicate telepathically around would have made things too easy and he could calm them down. Also, most of the magic users are notably absent. Probably so none of the magic characters can use magic to make things better.

 

Supergirl is a main member of the team for story reasons. Personally, I highly enjoyed how big of a role she played in this tale. Shazam is hit with the immature stick to help justify certain events and some events are rushed. There are some events that don’t have an impact like one would expect. The art is brilliant and no side of the crossover is valued more than another.

 

Overall, this is a fun crossover that I highly enjoyed. If you want to see Superman and Godzilla throwing down, then this is the book for you.
