Godzilla vs. Organized Crime? Maybe.

This is a "Snakes on a Plane" kind of comic in that I'm sure most comic readers have a pretty good idea whether they are going to enjoy it without needing to look inside. This was a no-brainer purchase for me because I'm a giant Godzilla fan, but if you're on the fence, hopefully this short description of the first issue will swing you:

In this comic, a heroic police officer who is about to be executed by gangsters escapes to monster island. The gangsters give pursuit on the island but are killed by Godzilla. The hero cop is rescued by Mothra worshippers who then explain to him how the twin fairies control Mothra. The Hero cop then kidnaps the twin fairies and heads back to japan, presumably with the aim of using Mothra to somehow fight organized crime

So there you go. To me that sounded fantastic, and I've added this book to my pull list. This single issue is rather light and my rating reflects that, but I'm looking forward to seeing how this story will develop as a whole over time.
