MEG'S PICK OF THE WEEK:

Godzilla's Monsterpiece Theatre Presents: Godzilla's The Odyssey #1

Godzilla’s tour of the literary canon continues as it smashes its way across The Odyssey in this oversize standalone one-shot!

Homer’s The Odyssey is widely considered to be the greatest epic of all time. So, how could you possibly make it more epic? Fill it with kaiju, that’s how. Odysseus’ journey home was already challenging enough, but what if instead of storms, sirens, and cyclopes, the gods sent monsters even more powerful than the titans? And what if Zeus sent the most powerful one of all to assist the king on his odyssey? It’s like Homer said: “Of all creatures that breathe and move upon the earth, nothing is bred that is stronger than Godzilla.”

Written by Frank Tieri, illustrated by Ilias Kyriazis, and featuring part two of Tom Scioli’s Godzilla vs. Robin Hood.

And wherever Castiel goes, the Winchesters are one step ahead of him, hunting for the monsters that have been reported in the vicinity. Whether it’s at a concert, a frat party, or wherever — by the time Castiel follows the trail there, the Winchesters have come and gone. Until they find the thing they’re all looking for… together. But will Castiel help the brothers in their mission, or just get in the way?
