Godzilla: Complete Rulers of Earth Volume 2 Finally Solicited for Release from IDW

Posted on January 23, 2019 at 5:50 pm by Den-O under Godzilla

Artist & writer Matt Frank just dropped us a line to let us know that after several years in limbo, the second half of his & writer Chris Mowry’s critically acclaimed series Godzilla Rulers of Earth, is finally being collected in paperback form!

IDW released Rulers in single issues from 2013-2015 completing a full 25 issue run, making it the longest running Godzilla ongoing comic ever, eclipsing the original Marvel run by 1 issue. Originally collected in 6 smaller trade paperbacks, the Complete Rulers of Earth Volume 1 came out in 2016, though it’s now out of print. 3 years on IDW has finally announced the Godzilla: Complete Rulers of Earth Volume 2! This volume will collect the second half of the series, issues 14-25.

As of now the scheduled release date for Godzilla: Complete Rulers of Earth Volume 2 is August 13, 2019 and retails for $29.99. We encourage you to head to your Local Comic Shop and make sure you get in an order for it before the FOC (Final Order Cutoff) through Diamond Comics which is at currently mistakenly listed as 12/31/2039. We just recommend you begin talking to your local shop in the near future if you want to grab a copy of this book. Volume 1 has been out of print for some time and fetches a decent amount on the secondary market. If you’re unsure as to the local shops in your area, you can use the Comic Shop Locator Service to find one now!

Chris Mowry Talks Godzilla

Posted on September 26, 2013 at 6:32 am by Shin Densetsu under Godzilla

Examiner recently had an interview with Chris Mowry, who writes Godzilla Rulers Of Earth(check out a preview for issue Godzilla Rulers Of Earth #4 here!) for IDW. The interview goes beyond Godzilla though, as Pacific Rim and Gamera are asked about too! Don’t get your hopes up, but at least we get confirmation that those 2 properties are off limits. Sad face! Now for the Godzilla-relevant parts:

MG: First Godzilla film you ever watched?

CM: I’ve been asked this a lot lately and I think it has to be “Godzilla vs. Gigan” (Godzilla on Monster Island). I was so young then, so it’s hard to remember, but I do remember imitating Gigan a lot. So it could have been “vs Megalon” for all I know!

MG: What was your favorite story arc for IDW’s Godzilla? Is there more than one?

CM: I love James Stokoe’s “Godzilla: The Half-Century War” a lot. I like how he was able to incorporate so many different eras of Godzilla into one fun story of someone’s interactions with the big guy. John Layman’s “Godzilla: Gangsters & Goliaths” is up there, too. I think both of those would make great movies!

MG: Favorite movie version of Godzilla and why?

CM: As far as the look goes, I really do like the way he appeared in “vs. Destoroyah” and “Tokyo S.O.S.” because of the drastic changes in his appearance. But for what I think Godzilla SHOULD look like? I would have to go with the GMK Godzilla suit. All-white eyes, huge feet, it has it all. Plus, he was just ruthless in that film.

MG: What in your view makes Godzilla more popular than any other monster out there?

CM: Besides having so many different films, I think it’s the fact that people love seeing monsters doing their monster stuff and Godzilla just does it bigger and better than anything else. He’s not like Jason or any slasher like that, but there really is a sense of terror that comes from thinking “what if something like that DOES exist?” I wouldn’t want to be in that city, I could tell you that.

MG: Now for some Godzilla: Rulers Of Earth questions:
For Godzilla Rulers of Earth you stated that you have access to all of Toho’s characters. What are you allowed to talk about as to what is to be expected in the first story arc (6 issues I presume)?

CM: The series has gone under some drastic changes since it started. There have been times where it was supposed to be five issues (all finding out after Issue #3 was written) and then maybe to eight, and now it’s at a solid eight issues. Who knows if it will continue, but that’s really up to the fans and people buying the book. I’d love to keep going, but if sales aren’t there, I understand the need to end things. With that being said, the first arc really just turned into more of a “let’s have this happen and start winding things up” situation. When the book was originally planned out, it was 12 issues. So as you can see, that jumping around has made it pretty confusing. I’m just hoping to deliver some kind of story that people can get into with lots of monsters and a reason for things happening. But some stories we didn’t want to cut and you’ll see one of those in Issue #5.

MG: Godzilla: Gangsters and Goliaths was in a separate universe from all other IDW Godzilla stories. Rulers is a direct sequel to Kingdom of Monsters correct? Will anything from the Legends storyline’s come into play in this new series?

CM: Rulers is what we look at as being the third and final act in the “IDW Godzilla Universe.” That universe started with Kingdom of Monsters, continued with Godzilla, and now is with Rulers of Earth. Nothing from Legends will be carried over as those are all separate stories on their own. Although I think Matt did make the CKR uniforms pretty close to what he did in Legends #1.

MG: Can IDW buy the rights to Pacific Rim and do a crossover?

CM: No. Pacific Rim is with another publisher (Legendary) and our licensing agreement with Toho prohibits us from doing any crossover stories with any other license. Sorry, but it will never happen.

MG: Is there a chance you can acquire the rights to Gamera and do a major crossover we kaiju fans have been dying for since 1965?

CM: Again, we can’t. We could possibly get the Gamera rights, but the two will (unfortunately) never face one another. Same goes for Ultraman, too.

MG: How much freedom do you have with the Godzilla license? Do you have to get permission from Toho if you want to kill a monster and are you limited by Kaiju appearances in each story?

Mowry also thinks that the Godzilla 2014 movie crew is setting out to make a Godzilla movie that is nothing like the 1998 film. The interview in its entirety can be seen here.
