Visual Effects supervisor Sean Konrad discusses how Godzilla, Kong, a scarab horde, and the seemingly unstoppable new Titan X highlighted more than 3,000 shots he oversaw on the hit Monsterverse series, now streaming on Apple TV.

“THE HORROR OF GODZILLA is for fans of Godzilla Minus One, Shin Godzilla, and Godzilla ‘54,” added editor Jake Williams. “It's a terrifying look at the Kai-Sei era's first Godzilla attack. It grabs the reader and places them on the ground in the middle of the most petrifying night in human history… the arrival of Godzilla. Through the power of Tristan Jones' visceral art style, this is the first Godzilla comic we've released that goes 100% in on horror. It very well might become the best Godzilla comic ever made… it's certainly the scariest.”

IDW will be releasing another Godzilla one-shot for San Diego Comic-Con this July.

Preorders are open until June 15th.

Weirdly, IDW doesn’t seem to have the announcement on its own site but the Official Godzilla.com and many other genre fandom sites have the announcement and listing.

Who knew that franchise-branded electric guitar peripherals were becoming a thing?

A Godzilla pedalboard would have been fantastic for garage bands back when GenXers were young…

Ouch!

The first season of the Apple TV series paired its kaijū (monster) action with deft character work, making its globe-spanning mystery feel grounded and emotionally engaging. Season Two, which aired its finale on May 1, picks up directly after the first season’s cliffhanger ending, but much of that balance is lost beneath the weight of a sprawling story and the introduction of more characters from the Monsterverse — a franchise that now encompasses six films and two other spinoff series, all based on Toho Studios’ Godzilla IP.

As the world of “Monarch” expands, the series becomes increasingly bogged down by explanations. Two years after the first season premiered, exposition that was once neatly folded into believable dialogue has been replaced with clunky reminders of previous plot points and characters.

I didn't read past this point for fear of spoilers, as I haven't watched S2 yet... but the review isn't off to a good start, is it?

Toho-licensed Rodan has appeared again in the Monsterverse. Or, has he/she?

Hopefully, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season three will be confirmed soon so we can look forward to a couple of years of intense speculation among Kaiju fans.

Somehow I did not know this existed.

IGN provided this helpful piece that places Monarch: Legacy of Monsters within the broader Monsterverse continuity.

As a timeline refresher: The Monsterverse Godzilla movie that centered on the catastrophic G-Day event happened in 2014. Season 1 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters followed one year later in 2015 and ended with a two-year time jump to 2017. That was a result of the semi-successful rescue mission executed by older Shaw, Cate Randa (Anna Sawai), and May Olowe-Hewitt (Kiersey Clemons) into Axis Mundi, the pocket realm between Earth and Hollow Earth, to rescue a stuck-in-time Keiko. Season 2 then unfolded over a breakneck eight weeks in 2017, leaving about 18 months of open storytelling time until the Titan awakenings featured in Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

There’s still a lot of social media debate out there however regarding the appearance of Rodan first in the continuity at the end M:LOM season two. Is it the same Rodan who appears later in Mexico in Godzilla: King of Monsters? Or, are there two distinct Rodan’s?

Since Rodan is a classic Toho Kaiju licensed to Legendary Entertainment, it’s a major commitment towards a third season narrative either way.

An interesting choice of story to cover in ‘interesting times.’

Last Thursday, the Tokyo District Court ruled that 39-year-old Wataru Takeuchi was guilty of violating Japanese law that prohibits the creation of “a new work by making creative modifications to the original while preserving its essential characteristics.” Takeuchi worked as administrator of a website that published lengthy, spoiler-heavy descriptions from popular movies and series. And two of Takeuchi’s “articles” — one about Godzilla Minus One and another focused on the Overlord anime adaptation — prompted Toho (owner of the Godzilla) and Kadokawa Shoten (the publisher behind Overlord) to file joint lawsuits through the Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA).

I guess the branding consultant for the new Canadian nuclear reactor aren’t fans of Kaiju cinema franchises — or maybe they are.

Looks like they’ll be producing nice Titan snacks.

CANDU® MONARK™ technology represents a monumental opportunity. By investing in this powerful solution, we are securing our energy future. We are also creating thousands of jobs, generating billions in economic activity, and positioning Canada as a global leader in nuclear innovation.

After reading the rules, it appears that posting memes or such that relate to Godzilla and the Monsterverse is okay? What if they contain NSFW language? Are they okay to post with the NSFW tag?

I have so many memes saved and some of them are Monsterverse themed. I just want clarification so I don't disrupt the community.

AppleTV has posted a full clip of the major Titan fight at the end of M:LOM 2 x 08.
