World War II drags on and the Japanese refuse to surrender. President Truman approved dropping two atomic bombs on the cities killing thousands, severely injuring others and destroying the cities.
Not long after more died from radiation poisoning and later still many of the babies born after the bombings were deformed, crippled and severely mentally and physically challenged.
The Japanese surrendered and the Japanese population was in shock. To some extent they still are. How does one cope with a such disastrous event?
In the 1950s at the dawn of the Nuclear Age Japanese film makers translated and represented their fear of anything atomic into a landmark movie starring a giant lizard with devastating atomic breath that had been created by radiation.
The creature rampaged through Tokyo killing and destroying. So was born Godzilla the King Of The Monsters.
In IDW Publishing’s new one-shot hardbound graphic novel: Godzilla Here There Be Aliens, by Frank Tiera and Angel Hernandez, Godzilla makes his appearance when earth is invaded.
Millennia ago an alien armada arrived on earth to colonize it. Earth’s dominate species at the time: the Simian, managed to send the aliens packing.
Defeated but determined to make earth their own they vowed to return one day.
Thousands of years later the aliens sent sleeper agents to earth disguised as humans. Once they determined the time was right to invade earth the again they sent their fleet of ships.
This time however they also brought their own giant monsters: alien Kaiju.
Fortunately for humanity the Simians still existed, also disguised as humans. Earth also had its own Kaiju, including Godzilla.
Can humanity, with the aid of the Simians and Kaiju, hope to defeat the aliens and will Godzilla prove to be the deciding factor?
Get ready for a Godzilla tale like no other as the creative team introduces a whole new facet to the legend of Godzilla. It’s non-stop action, intrigue, subterfuge and danger as Godzilla confronts the alien hoard with earth’s fate in the balance.
Psalms 37:4 - Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
