Book Review: Godzilla Returns (1996)

from The Kaiju Transmissions Podcast Hosted by Kaiju Transmissions Podcast

Byrd, Kevin, Lux and Tom go back to 1996 to talk about Godzilla Returns by Marc Cerasini, the first novel in a short lived series of books by Random House. In the mid-90s, Random House signed a deal with Toho and released books for different age groups. This would include children's picture books, children's novels by Scott Ciencin, and young adult novels by Marc Cerasini. Long out of print, these books have become almost a thing of myth, and have developed a nostalgic cult following over the years. We'll talk about the first book in the line, as well as give our memories of being young Godzilla fans in the 90s, and how Godzilla merchandising has changed over the years. So how does the first book hold up in 2024 without the nostalgia glasses on? Listen and find out!
