Description:

Years have passed since the monster apocalypse nearly destroyed mankind.

Now it is merely a distant, nightmarish memory for Hiroshi, an elder in one of the few remaining tribes of humans.

Little does Hiroshi know that the apocalypse is not over, and that his memories of the past may yet save the future!



Rating: 5 stars

Review:

Godzilla: Cataclysm takes place in Japan, 20 years after the monsters have attacked the world. It focused on Hiroshi an older gentleman who may have had something to do with the monster attacks, his grandson Arata and his grandson's friend Shori as the monsters have now returned. The trio are also trying to keep the monster Biollante safe from the other monsters who keep trying to destroy it. They do get some help from Monthra who is trying to fight off Godzilla and the other monsters to protect Biollante. But it's going to take more than just Monthra to stay safe.

From the grandfather's backstory he was part of a government experiment that was perhaps going to allow them to control the monsters through mind control but it failed and caused the monsters to go berserk.

But when a huge monster Destoroyah shows up will it mark the end of everything? Can Godzilla save them? Or is it too late?

If you're a fan of Godzilla movies I think you might like this. I love the artwork it's big and explosive and shows all the destruction the monster are causing. However, there is more than just monsters destroying stuff, you get a really good solid story.
