Kaiju Weeks in Review (April 14-27, 2024)
Kazuhiro Nakagawa has directed a new Godzilla short, although you'll have to travel to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building to see it properly, as it's projected on the surface of the building! Failing that, here's the best-looking video I could find on YouTube. Godzilla: Attack on Tokyo runs about seven minutes and pits Godzilla (Naoya Matsumoto) against an upgraded Super X2.
Chibi Minilla has made her (yes, her) debut in Chibi Godzilla Raids Again. It's an interesting situation where the character isn't specifically gendered in Japanese but is definitely female in the English translation; Wikizilla has the details. Also, the episode itself has serious Godzilland vibes.
I forgot to mention that Godziban (which is still releasing specials; unknown when they'll get to Season 5) introduced Gojita and Zillala, based on the Final Wars Godzilla and Zilla, respectively. 2024 is truly the year of pink Godzillas. This week's episode brought Varan to the fore.
IDW solicitations included the 14th Godzilla Rivals issue, Godzilla vs. Manda. Nice to see a C-lister like Manda in the spotlight, as Rivals has mostly stuck to higher-profile creatures. Jake Lawrence is writing and illustrating. The logline:
Late into the night, the crew of a small fishing trawler off the coast of Australia is keeping busy by telling stories of the sea. Little do they know, they’re moments away from happening upon a mysterious shipwreck… and the fearsome sea dragon Manda going toe to toe with Godzilla in the middle of the most brutal ocean brawl any sailor has ever seen. Can this small crew make it back to shore safely in the midst of this all-out kaiju battle? Join Jake Lawrence (Teen Dog, A Nice Long Walk) on a thrilling adventure on the high seas to find out!

I wanted to take another crack at drawing Zillala, along with fellow pink female kaiju (also based on a '90s-era Godzilla), Gojirin! :3

If you're taking requests, how about a 1998 Godzilla?
I can't say a lot about Zilla since I didn't watch their movie but I DID watch their tv show and I it was pretty good.

Godzilla says respect artists!
Made this cuz someone on Twitter kept bugging me and telling me I’d go extinct if I didn’t embrace AI art 🤨 rather be extinct than an art thief

Please let Zilla and komdithrax get together and him teach her nerd stuff and she takes him to the gym and they become a power couple from opposite schools. If that’s ok with you that is.
Don’t worry, they find one another 💛
