Godzilla: Rulers of Earth #17

This 2014 anniversary issue — marked with a Godzilla 60th-anniversary badge — delivers a cover that is pure kaiju spectacle, with Godzilla locked in a fierce mid-air clash against a massive armored alien creature while a serpentine monster coils dramatically in the foreground, all set against a cosmic backdrop of warships, the Earth, and what appears to be an enormous alien vessel looming overhead. Zornow's cover art crackles with energy as beams of light collide between the titans, selling the sheer scale of the conflict. From the creative team of Mowry, Zornow, and Tramontano, Rulers of Earth continues to make a strong case that IDW's Godzilla saga belongs on every monster fan's pull list.
