Review - Godzilla: Heist #2
From IDW Publishing
The second part of this crime and Godzilla story continues from IDW Publishing - what next?
Check out Godzilla: Heist #2.
Godzilla has touched down in London. The heist is ready to begin but before our crew can rob the Ministry of Defense, they have to lure Godzilla across the city and directly to its front gates.
And so begins the greatest chase sequence in comic book history! One crew, one Godzilla, one city-can they make it across without getting smashed?

We return to the world of Godzilla in this second episode, and Godzilla is closer to (my) home!
To London, where Godzilla is drawn as a diversion so the crew can reach their destination undetected.
This was an action-packed issue, with Godzilla wreaking havoc across London, causing devastation to many landmarks. It moves quickly, and the helicopter chase to Whitehall was well-executed, with some excellent moments.
We are gearing up for the battle between Godzilla and Mecha-godzilla in future issues, and I can imagine the destruction being caused there. How does that link to the main thrust of the story? We shall indeed find out!
The art is well done, and I love the colouring in this series and issue, with the style mixing in well with the rampant Godzilla and explosions! This issue showcased the fast-moving story with some brilliant art choices and well-panelled scenes.
