After my first delve into Godzilla comics, another one pops up!
This features a selection of tales set in Chicago and is part of the new Godzilla Vs. America anthology series. With Chicago as the base for these attacks, we get a great combination of stories, with heroes doing what they do and Godzilla causing different types of chaos.
There is a fun combination of storiesāand I get that some will resonate more with those who know Chicago more than meābut I still got into them and enjoyed the different types of tales being told.
The artwork throughout was fun and well done - concentrating not only on the giant, city-destroying lizard but also some great character moments in serious situations and the humour. This is a good introduction to a new series.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #7
New series artist Juan Ferreyra joins writer Jason Aaron to turn the volume up to maximum with this explosive second arc of the all-new era of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! The family reunion hasnāt exactly gone as planned for the Turtles. Even if they could put their sibling feuds aside, thereās no time for the brothers to celebrate.
Hunted by a new Foot-enhanced police force led by the relentless D.A. Hieronymus Hale, the Turtle brothers must endure their worst gut-punch yet: New York City is no longer safe for the TMNT, forcing the mutant heroes to take drastic measures - relocating to the sewers of New Jersey!

A new arc, but things arenāt entirely clicking for the brothers. Not only is the city against them, but those in charge have teamed up with the Foot Clan to make things extremely difficult for the citizens and the Turtles!
We can see what is wrong from our view, and the quicker they get on the right page, the quicker they will start to get back to it all.
Is Donatello as crazy as we thought? This issue throws a lot of doubt over his mental state, and it looks like Donatello will be the key to all of this.
I loved the art and expressions in this issue, and there are some excellent angles and scenes here.
This continues to be an excellent series.
