Secret Identity has had a long standing love affair with ‘Chew’ ever since writer John Layman told us the story! For the past 20 or so issues, the ‘mighty one’ and artist Rob Guillory have crafted a unique story that stands out among the zillions of titles on the shelf!
Not being a one trick pony, John has added another title to his slate; Godzilla – Gangsters and Goliaths from IDW. In this second (and strongest) of IDW’s ‘zilla books, G-GG follows the story of a Japanese policeman who finds his way onto Monster Island as he runs from a Japanese gangster!
“In the entire print history of Godzilla,” said Matman “this series has captured what is cool about Godzilla and the films! Godzilla can’t be the lead; he needs to be a strong supporting character!”
Adding to the awesomeness of the book is artist Alberto Ponticelli who draws Godzilla, Mothra and the Space Twins perfectly!
But Layman’s writing isn’t designated to people who solve crimes by eating body parts or the king of the monsters! Recently he wrote the Marvel three issue event ‘Identity Wars’ that ran through Spider-Man, Deadpool and the Hulk annuals. As an added bonus, he is joined another Secret Identity fav, former Batgirl artist Lee Garbett! All three books are still available at your local comic shop.
“There are a few scribes that I get anything they write,” added Matman! “Sterling Gates, Nick Spencer, Geoff Johns, Joe Kelly and add to that list John Layman
