I’m a bit late to the party with this one, but with plenty of other Godzilla and Turtles comics on my current reading list, it took me a while to get to their crossover mini series. Have I been missing out? Let’s take a look.

This story starts by reimagining the Foot Club’s original purpose as being humanity’s first line of defence against the great and terrible kaiju. Over the years the clan becomes corrupted and their mission forgotten, until Godzilla attacks Tokyo in the modern day. With Master Splinter immediately recognising the danger of the kaiju, as well as having insight into how they can be stopped, the Turtles plan to fight back. What does Shredder have to do with Godzilla’s new emergence, though? And what happens if more kaiju make their presence felt?

Those questions and more are posed in this first issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Godzilla, which does a fantastic job of coherently melding the two, distinct franchises.

And it’s so much fun; plus, the creative team of writer Tim Seeley and artist Fero Penuche seem to be having an absolute blast here. Who wouldn’t? They get to smash two very different, but equally entertaining, sets of characters together, and we’re along for the ride.

I’m not sure how I expected these two franchises to work together, but Seeley does a great job establishing their link, and disrupting the status quo, in this first issue. With an appropriately kaiju-sized cliffhanger too. Highly recommended for fans of either franchise. Or both!
