The Fantastic Four and Tony Stark are asked to help open a museum in Japan dedicated to the island nation's rich history of battling giant monsters. Only this museum seems to be conducting some questionable genetic research on the side and that may be the reason a batch of giant monsters once again have Tokyo in their crosshairs.
This is a really strange book. The characters look like Matt Groening drew them. Mutliple Manga art techniques are used throughout the book as well. The writing is really well done what with its unique theories about the Giant Monster or Kaiju genre, such as why the FF no longer battle gigantic monsters as in their early days and why don’t you see Godzilla destroying Tokyo that much anymore.
Clearly this is a love letter from two Marvel artists to the Kaiju cinema and culture of Japan. Why Iron Man is involved in it is unclear. He’s more of a background character at this point with very little to do but flirt with Japanese girls. Young, school-aged Japanese girls. Ick!
Worth Consuming.
Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
