Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong is a shocking crossover between DC’s greatest superheroes and the titanic monsters of Legendary’s Monsterverse, who, due to a series of catastrophic misfortunes devised by Brian Buccellato, coincide in the same timeline that cannot encompass everything.
This edition contains the seven copies of the miniseries of DC Comics And Legendary Comics: Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kongwhere DC Super Heroes must face the threats of the cinematic Monsterverse, led by its two most iconic representatives: Godzilla and King Kong.
Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong begins with a quiet dinner at Lois Lane and Clark Kent on the roof of Daily Planetbut the appearance of a large monster in the bay of Metropolis will ruin the quiet dinner organized by the journalists. This monster from nowhere is the first time that it appears on Earth and no one knows where it emerged from.
In an earlier time period, Lex Luthor and the Doomed Legion override the security measures at the Fortress of Solitude, where they know Superman is keeping the Mother Boxto get hold of it and defeat the Justice League once and for all. The motley crew led by Luthor includes villains from all of DC’s heroes, but the perfectly planned raid doesn’t go as smoothly as they had planned.
The Toymaker is unable to keep his hands to himself and adhere to Luthor’s plan, compromising the stealth of the heist by taking the mystic between his fingers. Dream Gemsetting off all the security alarms in the complex. The alarm jump causes the Justice League to answer the call and in the melee they accidentally activate the Mother Box, causing the Doom Legion to disappear.
Luthor’s Legion arrives on a parallel Earth, the Earth of the Monsterverse, on Skull Island. The Toymaker still holds possession of the gem and wants to play with those wonderful toys that are the monsters of this world, so skull island and its titanic inhabitants are transported to the DC Universe. Once in this new world, the monsters are scattered across several cities such as Central city, Gotham the Metropoliswith Godzilla facing off against Superman.
Like the recent cinematic installment of the Monsterverse Godzilla and Kong: The New Empire, the Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong miniseries is the equivalent of a big-budget action movie filled with popcorn. It’s not a sophisticated work of art… but it’s a lot of fun, especially if the reader is a fan of DC Comics and kaiju.
A meeting orchestrated by Brian Buccellato
Brian Buccellato is responsible for this meeting between DC heroes and legendary monsters. The plot of Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong takes place in a reality similar to that of Other worlds the Black Labela reality close to but separate from the conventional or canonical DC Universe. In this reality, as seen in the first pages, Clark Kent and Lois Lane are dating, Lois knows that Clark is Superman, but they are not yet married.
Buccellato is very skilled with action sequences in Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong and the script is full of them, leaving the reader breathless, with the clash between Superman and Godzilla as the main fight, without taking anything away from the rest of the battles of the Justice League fighting against other monsters and, at the same time, against the Doomed Legion and its allies. There are many moments of geniuslike Batman building a giant robot to fight Robotic Godzilla controlled by Luthor and Kong as the bearer of a Green Lantern ring.
THE multitude of subplots of Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong, showing as many characters as possible from both publishers, diversifies the product too much, covering a lot and pressing little. In these stories we must highlight the protagonist Ra’s al Ghul and the League of Assassinswith the use of the Lazarus Pits giants, leaving gaps such as the rescue of Green arrow -Green Arrow- in the middle of the ocean.
In this broad spectrum of intertwined plots and despite the name of the compilation, the interaction between the two big monsters is ridiculousdespite the prominent role of both. In this sense, a greater clash or a joint role of Godzilla and King Kong would have been very well received by the reader.
Buccellato, who not in vain had a good stage Flashhe knows how to behave perfectly with the different characters of the Justice League, highlighting the role he assigns to Batman in this adventure, where The Dark Knight He is a master strategist, who works side by side with other members of the Northern League and with the “Single-family” to be able to face and defeat the new monster threat, while protecting his friend and companion Superman.
Action and colors by Duce, Derenick and Guerrero
In the graphics section Christian Duce perform a Good work in the miniseries, knowing how to exploit the characters of the two publishers, even if the proximity in some fights makes them chaotic, having been clearer with greater attention to the area. To highlight the double-page illustrations, where you can truly appreciate the artist’s art.
In addition to the main work of the Duce, there are also pages drawn by Tom DerenickWhich perfectly maintains the overall tone of the work. The color is normal in DC as is Louis Guerrerothat with his good work provides the two artists with continuity and uniformitywhich allows for visual sequences in which the change of artist between pages is barely perceptible.
In short, this meeting between the legendary monsters and the DC superheroes is a good volume to read and enjoy, without greater pretensions than the meeting of the two publishers’ flagship franchiseswhere action and art will delight fans of the Justice League and the kaijus.
In Spain it was published in axisto everything colorwith an extension of 240 pages which includes the seven US staple numbers, at the price of 31€.
