Okay, I read through some of the posts and most of them seem to be about the portrayal of a gay wedding in the comic. personally, so what? it's not like any political issues are ACTUALLY being talked about! and really, who would take offence to it? maybe those who are totally against the idea of homosexuality, but who would take this from a political stand point? honestly, what monster loving, violence seeking, Godzilla fan would care that a gay wedding is used as the opening setting? (on the other hand, if it had made any comments about homosexuals or homosexuality, I would understand)
Why is IDW coming out with all these Godzilla comics? They already have Kingdom of Monsters, Gangsters and Goliaths, and Legends and now this one. Are they testing each one to see which is more popular and only concentrate on that one comic or is it just because?
Not bad. Gotta admit, I wasn't crazy about this guy's art when I saw it in Legends #2, but it may grow on me. The image of the guy setting Kumonga ablaze represents all I don't like and all that I'm okay with at once. We shall see....
w00t! Kumonga crashes gay wedding! Man, I have yet ANOTHER reason to have Kumonga as my second fave now, lol. But the art looks great; Rodan looks good like normal while Godzilla and Battra look good. Man, glad Gane is the artist.
The fact that there was a homosexual wedding in a Godzilla comic is fine by me. I would only take issue with it if it became the FOCUS of the comic like when Kingdom of Monsters kept ramming its critiques on society down our throats. Powell's and Marsh's parodies of celebrities and politicians, even though I agreed with them for the most part, were neither funny nor appropriate. This comic didn't do that and managed to still make kaiju the focus, and as long as it does that, it should be fine. It looks like a great read and the art's leagues above Victor Santos or Phil Hester's, not that Hester was bad. On another note I hope Urv is one of the guys recruited to fight Godzilla. That'd be great instead of making him another throwaway character and make me more invested. I really want this to be good
No it's just Kumonga attacking a gay wedding will raise some eyebrows, even if, again, giant monsters generally don't give a crap about who or what their attacking.
But my comment was directed on how Conservative news outlets would use something like this as an endorsement against gay marriages...but than again, unless its a celebrity trying politics (or Wall-E), Fox News tends to ignore pop culture, and to be fair, they probably don't even know who Godzilla is.
And no, I'm not Liberal, I'm a non-partisan and fiercely proud of it, finding a lot of political news commentator shows no better than drunken cheerleaders in a pissing contest, on which one of their men is the better boyfriend (President R, or President L). And half the problems in America right now is based on politicians battling each other for brownie points and money, and the public too stupid to realize it, while they gleefully take sides.
And sadly the political pissing contest has gotten so bad, it's impossible to tell the difference between GOOD conservative representation on television (Bill O-Reilly?), over the typical BAD ones.
I don't know, maybe I'm more pissed off that we're still getting political satire / dark humor again in our Godzilla books, and that led to the Kumonga comment above. Or maybe the attack on a gay wedding in done simply for shock value, since monsters massacring wedding guests is becoming an old cliche in its own right.
I hope that made any sort of sense, but your a more articulate man than I am.
Well, look at it this way. We get a look inside the man's head and the beginning of a story arc. In just two pages, we're given a man with an intriguingly vague past and an uncertain future. The comic is telling a story, not simply about monsters killing people, but about the people who are caught underfoot, and how they react.
In two pages, it's more mature than Kingdom of Monsters was in its entire run.
Plus, Kumi probably ate the Fox news crew before it even set its sights on the wedding.
Or guy... Or... whichever.
