  1. Loving the show and looking forward to hearing your thoughts on IDW's current Godzilla comic book series. Any plans to visit Marvel's series from the '70s or the '90s Dark Horse Godzilla comics as well?

  2. Also, the first time I saw Godzilla vs. the Cosmic Monster it was actually called Godzilla vs. the Bionic Monster. Looks like some prints must've carried that name before Universal stepped in. I saw it in the early '80s at a local library where they would often screen old monster movies for kids on Saturday afternoons. Good times.

  3. Interesting about the Bionic Monster bit! I am sure a few prints got through with that title, which really to me is much more evocative than Cosmic Monster. Godzilla for lots of monsters from the cosmos, but Mechagodzilla was certainly Bionic!

    I do hope to cover some Marvel and Dark Horse comics in the future, yes. I really want to do an episode for what may be my favorite single G comic of all time -- the Dark Horse Color Special!

    Thanks for listening!
