THE STORY SO FAR: GODZILLA has emerged from the ocean off the coast of Japan. ANGUIRUS has risen from the ground in Mexico. RODAN has hatched from an egg in Russia. BATTRA has been released off the coast of France. And things are just getting worse: two mysterious twins hold sway over BATTRA and assault Paris, while GODZILLA and ANGUIRUS meet head-on in Los Angeles for a tussle that leaves the town in rubble. Among the few survivors and people attempting to help is Sgt. Steven Woods, a returning soldier who despaired at the current culture of selfishness that pervades America but must now face this frightening monster apocalypse on his own…
Special thanks to Yoshiko Fukuda and everyone at Toho for their invaluable assistance.
