JUSTICE LEAGUE VS. GODZILLA VS. KONG 2 #6: Rally Cries

Each side has taken to their respective corners, sending out a rallying cry to their allies to prepare for an even bigger fight to come. Lex and Shaw have perfected the titan formula, using it on Cheetah, although not everything goes to plan! In the meantime, Aquaman attempts to get Godzilla back into the fight as the clock winds down.

Creative Team: Brian Buccellato (WRITER), Christian Duce (ART and COVER), Luis Guerrero (COLORS and COVER), and Comicraft’s Tyler Smith (LETTERS).

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

The Story:

If you have seen every film in the Titanverse, then you will love what Brian brings into the fold with this story. There are similar scenes inspired by King of the Monsters and other of the latest films to be released, which are welcome sights and familiar ones as the bigger fight is being built up with anticipation. I will admit the scene in which Black Manta brings about someones demise got a big pop from me and was an absolutely badass moment in the story. Going back to the start of the issue and how Iris knew that Wally and Barry were both the Flash was a fun and lighthearted moment thrown in, and a fun way to tag Wally into the fight as well.

The Art and Letters:

I cannot get enough of how intimidating Christian and Luis detail and draw these Titans. Even the ones we have seen in films, the duo has captured down to the smallest scar as they seem ripped right off the screen. The fight between Kong and Cheetah was brief; however, the usage of space between panels and how intimidating they made her out to be in her short time struck the fear and moment the team was shooting for. There are tons of fun panels in this series, and this issue is no different, that is, if you had hoped to see Wally pulling Hal behind him like he was a windsurfer. The little moments like these stand out so much and continue to land.

Final Thoughts:

Justice League VS. Godzilla VS. Kong 2 #6 sets up an epic and monstrous fight that looms on the horizon by taking everyone back to their corners of the ring to rally and prepare. I don’t think we are ready for the big fight, but I can promise I need it now!

Overall Grade: 9.8/10
