Summary: GREAT!
Review: A great collection of some of Dark Horse's Godzilla comics. In these comics, Godzilla battles the Black Hole aliens' (from "GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA" [1974] and "TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA" [1975]) mechacial-spider; some giant hunters from outer space; and runs amok through time.

Summary: Godzilla and Comics do not mix.
Review: I neither liked the Marvel Godzilla series nor these stories from Dark Horse Comics. Godzilla and time travel, please, it read like a rejected script from the Terminator films. Then again it was published by Dark Horse who always publish bad comics.

Summary: Another great addition to Godzilla literature
Review: The final part of the 1990's Dark Horse comic series, 'Past, Present, Future' has Godzilla fighting the familiar intergalactic space apes of previous movies, which was an added bit of ridiculous plot twist we Godzilla fans all know and love. This book practically features 'Godzilla vs. Predator', but instead of the 8 foot intergalactic hunter going after humans, you have a group of 80 foot intergalactic hunters going after Godzila. Interesting, and very different.

The main focus of this comic is Godzilla being transported throught he past, present and future, causing disasters such as the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in Pompeii, the sinking of the Titanic, and th 1909 San Francisco Earthquake. A mad scientist, who looks like something out of a cheesy 1940's space adventure comic, is a rather ridiculous character, but like the first trade paperback in this series, the corny plot twist is a welcome and familiar aspect of Godzilla, but this was definitely the lowest point of the Godzilla storyline.

Unfortuantely, Dark Horse ended its Godzilla run before they finished it...so the final story ends poorly and abruptly, with Godzilla and G-Force about to engage in a huge fight...a fight which never comes, since the series ends. I would've liked to have seen more Godzilla comics from Dark Horse, so if they ever decide to revive it, i'll be the first one to pick it up...though I sincerely doubt it will happen.

Like the first TPB 'Age of Monsters', this book has been published completely in Black & White...most likely to save money. Its unfortuante, since the lack of color from the original comics severely detracts from the detail, making some of the art panels difficult to interpret. Otherwise, the art is good, and the stories have the classic Godzilla formula to keep them up.

As far as Dark Horse Comics goes...they have undoubtedly put out some of the worst comics ever conceived...I would dare say even probably the worst in the entire history of American literature. Luckily, Godzilla does not suffer from that...it was a good run that ended too early and abruptly. Definitely pick this one up for your collection.

Summary: Great Comic
Review: This third installment of the Dark Horse, Godzilla series is easily the best. The comic is well drawn and the characters are fleshed out; plus, it pays fitting homeage to the orginal Godzilla movies. In it, Godzilla encounters a variety of bizarre creatures and alien beings. He also gets moved through time by a mad scientist. Full of wild plot twists and high quality art, Godzilla: Past Present Future is likely to be enjoyed by Godzilla fans of all ages.
