Godzilla: Skate or Die was a fun read that ultimately didn't do a lot for me, but I've really enjoyed that IDW has taken such care to give us multiple and unique takes on the Godzilla mythos. I did end up liking it much more than several other Godzilla stories I've read from the company. I'm really hoping that they continue to take chances, I'll keep reading.

Special Thanks to IDW Publishing and Netgalley for the digital ARC. This was given to me for an honest review.

I love the strangeness of Godzilla skate or die! The concept, the narrative, the art... Everything feels transgressive - as if the very idea is a slap in the face to what you expect when you imagine a Godzilla comic. This is the kind of comic that I pray to heaven there are more of in a market saturated with sameness: IP owners letting new voices run (in this case, roll) wild with their characters, because you never know when new visions can become special things. In my opinion, this is a special comic.

Godzilla skate or die by Louie Joyce is a great triumph in my opinion. More of these, please!
