Major Issues Podcast Ep 396: Godzilla VS Recap and Review

ComicBook CliqueComment

On this week’s episode of the Major Issues Podcast, the hosts dig into Marvel’s epic six-part monster mash where Godzilla rampages through the Marvel Universe and every corner of the superhero world scrambles to stop him. From Spider-Man webbing up a skyscraper-sized foot, to the Fantastic Four testing the limits of their cosmic science, to the X-Men realizing even mutant powers aren’t enough, this event puts Earth’s Mightiest Heroes through the wringer. Along the way, Hulk and Thor step in for some truly seismic brawls, Fin Fang Foom rears his head as a rival “King of the Monsters,” and S.H.I.E.L.D. tries (and mostly fails) to keep order with Maria Hill calling the shots. We break down every outrageous showdown, every clash of egos, and why Jet Jaguar and the so-called Kaiju Chasers United might just be the weirdest allies Marvel’s ever introduced. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like when superheroes, kaiju, and Marvel’s trademark chaos all collide, this series is it — and we’ve got all the monster-sized details.
