In case you weren't aware, I'm a HUGE fan of Godzilla. The classic monster movies have been a passion of mine since I was a child. I've written extensively about the history of the icon over the years thanks to my journalism career, and last year I was lucky enough to get to write a Godzilla Rivals comic at IDW. Today I'm super excited to share a preview of the next entry into that series Godzilla Rivals: Biollante Vs. Destoroyah by Nick Marino and Sean Dove.

GODZILLA RIVALS: BIOLLANTE VS. DESTOROYAH (W) Nick Marino (A) Sean Dove

No need for gloom, just drink a BLOOME! There’s an irresistible new beverage, Bio-II from BLOOME, that’s taken the world by storm. The lives of two unlikely allies collide as they scramble to unlock the sinister secrets behind Bio-II and halt the rebirth of the strangest botanical beast the Earth has ever seen, the blossoming Biollante!

Dr. Meena Shyam is a disgraced kaiju researcher whose radical ideas saw her shunned by the scientific community. Needles is a slacker hacker who’s just cracked the code behind BLOOME’s proprietary recipe. Together, crisscrossing the moonlit hills and bridges of Pittsburgh, they race against the clock to stop Biollante’s destruction as they call forth one of the deadliest kaiju of all time, the dastardly Destoroyah!
