What is your favorite Godzilla comic series?

Mine are Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters, Godzilla and Godzilla: Rulers of Earth by IDW. Fun fact, they follow each other story wise. To better explain, think of the movie series. Kingdom of Monsters would be the Showa era, Godzilla would be the Heisei era and Rulers of Earth would be the Millennium era, but with no relaunches and it's the same universe.

Also I didn't know whether this belonged under Classic or Merchandise forum. So the help of the Mods would be appreciated. Thank you.

I think Rulers of the Earth is much better, because its completely action-packed!

Of the IDW comics Rulers of Earth and the miniseries Half Century War are my favorites! I thought the Marvel Godzilla comics were interesting and I really like the Dark Horse Godzilla comics. Mostly because that had Godzilla fight a lot of awesome foes (Giant bat, Damajin look a like etc.)

Half-Century War and Legends were spectacular. I've heard Rulers of Earth really made up for how awful Kingdom of Monsters was so I need to pick up that one as well.

GMAN2887, Rulers of Earth came after Godzilla which came after Kingdom of Monsters. I suggest reading all three series. One of the main characters from Kingdom of Monsters is a main character in Rulers of Earth. They also reference the other two series, so you should read them all.

I read enough of Kingdom of Monsters to know I didn't want to read anymore. And most fans are telling me Godzilla (which is now being called, Godzilla: History's Greatest Monster in paperback) doesn't do much to fix these problems. I found the art pretty appaling as well.

While Godzilla: Rulers of Earth is a continuation, most reviews have claimed you can understand it just fine without having read the first two series. And Chris Mowry is a much stronger writing talent with an arsenal of better artists. It looks far more appealing than the prior two so I think I'll just save time, money and enjoyment and simply start there.

1. I didn't think they suck.

2. Valid points, but at least read a summary of some sorts for Godzilla: History's Greatest Monster for the major plot points and know that the main character form Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters (besides the monsters) is a main character in Godzilla: Rulers of Earth.

Godzilla: History's Greatest Monster had some interesting plot points and enjoyable moments, but I REALLY just don't like the art. Same with Kingdom of Monsters. Rulers of Earth has good story AND good art imo.
