One Massive Step is a novel by Joshua Brafman that follows two separate kaiju driven stories that slowly intertwine as the book progresses.

We’re currently in the midst of a Kaiju indie comic boom, with creators from all overturning to platforms like Kickstarter to share their amazing work. We had the chance to sit down with Blake McCarthy, creator of the Territory series, and Steven Prince, creator of Monster Matador.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Godzilla brings together two pop-culture giants in one of IDW Publishing’s most anticipated comic crossovers. Issue 1 wastes no time unleashing full-scale kaiju chaos, throwing the Turtles into a world where Godzilla has been a long-time enemy of the Foot Clan.

Despite all of its flaws, The Giant Claw is still a fascinating watch for fans of classic sci-fi and kaiju cinema. It’s a true B-level sci-fi film, and while it may fail as a serious monster movie, it succeeds as an unintentional comedy and a historical curiosity within the genre.

From the opening moments, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire wastes no time pulling audiences back into the MonsterVerse, where Titans dominate the screen.

This film is a must watch for anyone starting out as a Godzilla fan.

Monster Appearances: Godzilla Back in 2023, we recorded this spoiler-free review of Godzilla Minus One , one of the most powerful and emotionally resonant entries in the Godzilla franchise to date. Godzilla Minus One  delivers a perfect balance of human drama, tension, and classic Godzilla spectacle, making it a must-watch for longtime fans while remaining completely accessible to newcomers. It’s the kind of movie that stays with you long after the credits roll—and one that w

This week’s comic review takes a look at Huge Detective , a unique series written by Adam Rose and illustrated by Magenta King. The comic introduces a fresh and imaginative concept: the first-ever human and giant detective duo, Detective Tamaki and Detective Gyant, working together in a world where humans and giants coexist… peacefully? Well, they’re getting there. What really shines in Huge Detective  is the potential of its world. There’s a strong sense that many more stori

To celebrate the 69th anniversary of Godzilla, Godzilla 2000 returned to theaters thanks to Fathom Events, giving fans a rare opportunity to experience the film on the big screen once again.

In 2025 from November 15-23, Ultraman made a rare and exciting live appearance in the United States with a live stage show at the American Dream Mall. For U.S. based Ultraman fans, this event marked a truly special moment, bringing one of Japan’s most iconic heroes off the screen and into a real-world setting for the first time in the United States! Ultraman Omega & Rekiness While Ultraman has had minor performance and costume appearances at San Diego Comic Con & New York Com

Monster Appearances: Ganimes, Gezora, Kamoebas As part of our summer beach party series from 2022 we reviewed the 1970 Toho kaiju classic Space Amoeba  (also known as Yog, Monster From Space ), directed by the legendary Ishirō Honda. The film follows the chaos unleashed when an extraterrestrial amoeba possesses the animals native to a tropical island, the intended site of a new hotel, creating a triple threat of monster destruction. True to Showa-era kaiju style, the monsters

Monster Appearanes: Gorgo , Ogra In one of our earliest reviews, we revisited the 1961 classic Gorgo , one of the standout non-Japanese kaiju films of the era. The movie delivers well-shot monster scenes and impressively expressive suits and animatronics, making Gorgo a memorable addition to the pantheon of giant monsters. While it leans heavily on bluescreen effects, which can occasionally feel dated, it still captures the chaos and thrill of a rampaging kaiju. Gorgo in Capt

Monster Apperances: Gamera, Zigra Dan & Frank review the 1987 dubbed edition of the 1971 Gamera vs. Zigra movie , a classic entry in the Showa-era Gamera series. True to the Showa tradition, this movie delivers fun, campy kaiju action, but with a fair share of hilarious plot holes that had us laughing from start to finish. As lifelong fans of Gamera, watching this film again after many years reminded us why these Showa-era films hold a special place in kaiju history. From inv

The movie introduces the title monster Ebirah for the very first time, and fans will also recognize the return of the Giant Condor! Of course, no tropical kaiju romp is complete without Mothra, who makes an appearance as well. Packed with fun action, memorable monsters, and a tropical setting, it’s a film that still resonates for many of us as a childhood favorite.

While attending Kaiju Brooklyn this year, we picked up King of Justice: Dasher Blue  Issue 1 from Moon Lair Studios, and it instantly stood out as something special. This indie manga captures the spirit of late ’80s and early ’90s anime, blended with classic Henshin Hero influences, both in its storytelling and visual style. From the very first pages, Dasher Blue  delivers a fast-paced, action-packed experience that wastes no time pulling readers into its world. Fans of vinta

It has been a very long while since we’ve done one of these release lists. Frank used to do this quarterly on Godzilla Island, and we would also do weekly Shorts covering new releases. For now, we’re going to try a monthly list, so here it is! These are the first Kaiju & Tokusatsu–themed books, comics, and manga kicking off the new year. Some indie projects we want to highlight this month include The Territory  trade paperback, which collects the entire series into one volum

This week’s comic review is Kaiju Epic!, the crowdfunded indie comic launched on Kickstarter in 2017. Written by Tom Hutchison & Kari Castor, with art by Renato Rei & CB Zane, colors by Ceci de la Cruz, and letters by HDE, this extra-large 48-page debut issue delivers two action-packed stories depicting a full-scale kaiju uprising and the global chaos that follows. From massive destruction to international stakes, this comic perfectly captures the scope and terror of giant mo

Our Review Of Ultraman: The Ultra Academy Beware The Baleful Baltan!

Dan breaks down the Blu-ray features for Howl From Beyond the Fog , released by SRS Cinema, a company that has done an incredible job bringing Kaiju and Tokusatsu films to U.S. audiences that would otherwise be nearly impossible to obtain or might never receive an official English-subtitled release at all. SRS Cinema’s Blu-ray distribution has played a major role in helping the kaiju fandom grow over the past several years. Released in 2019, Howl From Beyond the Fog  is a kai

Note: This article was originally published in 2022 on Godzilla Island and his since been revised. Zone Fighter!   Toho’s 1973 tokusatsu series has always held a strange sort of mystique among Godzilla fans especially in the West. With its 26-episode run, giant hero battles, and guest appearances from Godzilla, King Ghidorah, and Gigan, it feels like a missing chapter from the Showa era. It fits right into the Godzilla timeline, taking place between Godzilla vs. Megalon  and
