* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: This is a much more grounded take on the Godzilla franchise in that there are legitimate consequences.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Oh, does it ever.
** Whenever the monsters attack, the infrastructure is crippled and people are forced to find whatever shelter is still standing.
** As Girly Yaya found out the hard way [[spoiler: it doesn't do you any good protesting military operations against giant monsters when said monsters leave you squashed like a bug]].
** A trio of rednecks try to go up against Anguirus... only to get smashed by his tail.
** When Steven goes up against Anguirus in [=MechaGodzilla=], he believes he's brought it down before his opponent gets back up and retaliates.
** The father who lost his children in the first issue attempts a bomb run on Godzilla. The man gets incinerated due to all the explosives on him while Godzilla only gets a nose itch.
** In the epilogue, we see the governments of the world preparing themselves should the {{Kaiju}} regain their senses and attack.
** The US military attempt to use poison on Anguirus while he's still recovering from his fight with Godzilla. It manages to kill any survivor who didn't make it out... and Anguirus just stands up and the gas doesn't even hurt him. This is tried again by the Germans on Rodan... who just uses his wings to blow it back their way.

* AdultFear: Imagine you're just doing your job while your kids are supposedly safe playing on a beach when all of a sudden, the beach they're playing on seems to erupt into something. Then you spend a vast majority of time looking for them, even going so far as to go up to a news anchor and ask if they have seen your kids. Soon, you're faced with the revelation that they're dead and the very ''thing'' that killed them is tearing down Tokyo by its foundation and burning everyone in its path.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: King Ghidorah, whilst not heroic, is certainly less antagonistic here. It's kind of fitting considering his design in the comic is based on his GMK incarnation only given a size boost.

* AdaptationalHeroism: King Ghidorah, whilst not heroic, is certainly less antagonistic here. It's kind of fitting considering his design in the comic is based on his GMK incarnation only given a size boost.

** The Shobijin are briefly seen at the end of Issue 3... and never seen from that point.
*** Which is a case of What Could Have Been--had writer Eric Powell not left the series halfway through, it was to be revealed that those weren't the Shobijin at all--just some dolls kept by a crazy guy who THOUGHT they were mystic spirits.

* RealityEnsues: This is a much more grounded take on the Godzilla franchise in that there are legitimate consequences.

* RealityEnsues: Oh, does it ever.

* RefuseToRescueTheDisliked: Sgt. Woods refuses to help the cast of the ''Jersey Shore'' Expy, letting them be trapped in their van and roasted alive by Godzilla's thermo nuclear breath.

** See RealityEnsues for Girly Yaya and the Rednecks.

* AdaptationalHeroism: King Ghidorah, whilst not heroic, is certainly less antagonistic here.It's kind of fitting considering his design in the comic is based on his GMK incarnation only given a size boost.

** As Girly YaYa found out the hard way [[spoiler: it doesn't do you any good protesting military operations against giant monsters when said monsters leave you squashed like a bug]].

* InfantImmortality: Averted save for a little girl whom one of the main characters somewhat adopts. The first issue begins with Godzilla unintentionally swallowing two kids whole when he rises from the beach. The second episode feature a boy finding Rodan's egg and wanting to feed it his neighbor's cat. The next page shows an escaping Rodan swallowing something and spitting out the boy's hockey stick, leaving the cat behind, implying Rodan ate the boy.

* RefusingToRescueTheDisliked: Sgt. Woods refuses to help the cast of the ''Jersey Shore'' Expy, letting them be trapped in their van and roasted alive by Godzilla's thermo nuclear breath.

** When Steven goes up against Anguirus in [[=MechaGodzilla=]], he believes he's brought it down before his opponent gets back up and retaliates.

** The people who made [[=MechaGodzilla=]] didn't even bother to put in a shielding at the back of its head. The reason it goes crazy? Godzilla shoots it there.

* {{Padding}}: Much of the story feels more like poor satire and what little story there is, Woods protecting Allie, just keeps repeating itself until the last few issues.

* Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters

* ''ComicBook/GodzillaRageAcrossTime''

In 2010, Creator/IDWPublishing acquired the rights to make a ''[[{{Franchise/GODZILLA}} Godzilla]]'' comic, this time featuring a good chunk of Godzilla's classic adversaries. There have been three ongoing series in this established universe:

* ''[[ComicBook/GodzillaRulersOfEarth Godzilla: Rulers of Earth]]''

* BadAss: Steve Woods, a soldier.

* ''ComicBook/GodzillaOngoing'' (later renamed Godzilla: History's Greatest Monster}

* BrainWashedAndCrazy: Battra and Rodan.

** When President Ogden is addressing the negative effects of dropping a nuclear bomb on the monsters (one of them being Godzilla), he says
"[[WesternAnimation/TheGodzillaPowerHour It could start shooting lasers out its eyes]]."

* Padding: Much of the story feels more like poor satire and what little story there is, Woods protecting Allie, just keeps repeating itself until the last few issues.
* TakeThat: There's lots of jabs at Series/JerseyShore, Creator/LadyGaga, PETA etc.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Rodan and Battra.

* DudeNotFunny: When two RedShirts are scouring through the remains of Los Angeles, they come across a Lady Gaga knockoff who was crushed under rubble. One of them does a pun of Pokerface [[note]]Poke her face[[/note]]. The other guy invokes this trope word-for-word. [[spoiler: But they both end up laughing anyway]].

*** Rodan first makes his appearance in Russia, kinda like he did in [[Film/DestroyAllMonsters another movie.]]
*** When President Ogden is addressing the negative effects of dropping a nuclear bomb on the monsters (one of them being Godzilla), he says

*** Battra makes a cocoon on the Eiffel Tower, kinda similar to what Mothra did in her debut film.
*** The first enemy Godzilla fights in this series? Anguirus.
*** Battra and Rodan battle each other, this could be a riff on how both monsters share the same roar.
*** Anguirus and [=MechaGodzilla=] fighting it out.
*** Following a fight with Godzilla, [=MechaGodzilla=] goes on a rampage via malfunction in a very similar fashion to Kiryu.
*** After being (unsuccessfully) nuked, Godzilla is briefly seen glowing red. [[http://gforever.net/tn/d/1dcfb737764609880a131718108ea8fc.jpg Hmm...]]
