I guess its your typical tie in really. Its not the first time a comic has acted as a prequel, nor will it be the last. Legendary comics are launching Godzilla: Awakening. A 72-page story, set decades before the film, is co-written by Max Borenstein (screenwriter of the new Godzilla) and Greg Borenstein.
The synopsis goes like this
Delve into an incredible mystery, generations in the making. At the dawn of the atomic age, humanity awakens lifeforms beyond imagination, unleashing monumental forces of nature.
And I’d expect these lifeforms to turn up in the movie come May when its released. Our gigantic city crushing creature is no stranger to the comic book world. From 1977 to 1979 he even turned up in the Marvel Universe raining down destruction as The Avengers took on the fire breathing behemoth. Now theres a movie that would be a dream come true!!!!
Godzilla director, Gareth Edwards, who is up to his neck in post production at the moment, also recorded a special message.
Godzilla is released on May 16th.
