Stories

A Monster Enslaved! · 17 pages
S.H.I.E.L.D. tracks Godzilla to a huge cave which he enters to sleep. Dugan wants to blow up the mountain and bury Godzilla, but Jones (who's sympathetic to Godzilla) suggests they gas him instead. After rendering Godzilla unconscious, Godzilla is loaded into "The Behemoth", the super sized new helicarrier designed to combat Godzilla. Godzilla is taken to a huge plastic prison in San Diego but easily blasts his way out. Meanwhile Dr. Takiguchi's secret weapon is ready and is revealed to be a giant robot samurai with a solar powered sword.
