Review:

Godzilla in Hell was an interesting and slightly weird story. And with most of the issues containing no dialogue or narrator, it left the art to tell the story.

This opens with the legendary monster falling down to hell and once down there he quickly found himself constantly under attack. However, time and again Godzilla proves that nothing can defeat him. This story is a bit of a mind trip because clearly Godzilla was in the underworld but then there would be scenes where he was fighting other monsters in major cities. Perhaps in the underworld there are duplicate of cities down there unless I'm misinterpreting these scenes.

The story maybe a little simplistic with Godzilla fighting his way through hell but it does have an interesting ending. However, it's the artwork that really sells it. Each issue features amazing artwork by a different artist.

This really was an interest if not some what weird at times story Godzilla was in, but I enjoyed reading it.
