Take a look back to the beginning of James Stokoe's critically-acclaimed hit series! Story/Spoilers: In issue #1, "Introducing a new and exciting look at Godzilla's reign of destruction, courtesy of Orc Stain creator James Stokoe! The year is 1954 and Lieutnant Ota Murakami is on hand when Godzilla makes first landfall in Japan. Along with his pal Kentaro, Ota makes a desperate gamble to save lives... and in the process begins an obsession with the King of the Monsters that lasts fifty years! Don't miss the first decade in a tale of a lifetime!" In the year 1954, Ota Murakami, a Japanese lieutenant in the J.S.D.F., and his best friend Kentaro, are leading a tank battalion deep into the heart of Tokyo during Godzilla's first attack on Tokyo. Upon encountering Godzilla, Ota orders all the tanks in the battalion to open fire on him, but their attack merely alerts the giant monster to their presence, and he quickly destroys all of the tanks with his atomic breath, save for Ota's, which has its radio antenna broken. Kentaro fixes the radio and the two get word that Godzilla is heading for a massive group of civilians trying to evacuate. Springing into action, Ota and Kentaro manage to catch up with Godzilla moments before he reaches the evacuees and distract him with a shot to the face. Godzilla proceeds to give chase to the tank throughout the city, and he eventually falls victim to an artillery strike. However, that too also proves futile as Godzilla quickly recovers from the attack and gives chase to the tank yet again. With the tank's engine almost broken, Kentaro manages to veer it into a canal as Godzilla marches away into the sea. Ota gets a broken arm and is sent to hospital. He breaks out a few days later and watches with Ken as Godzilla is 'killed' by the Oxygen Destroyer. A few months later, Ota and Kentaro are given an offer by a Colonel Schooler to hunt down Godzilla, who is seemingly alive and is wreaking chaos across the Pacific. Ota accepts, and so does Kentaro. … story continues in issues #2,3,4,5. IDW Publishing (2012-2013) Featuring the IDW Greatest Hits Variant Cover #1 by James Stokoe . Awesome!!
