The cost of the battle against the Titans to the superheroes rises with Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #3! The third issue is by the creative team of Brian Buccellato and Christian Duce. The cover by Drew Johnson has Kong leaping to fight the snake-like Warbat as Green Arrow takes cover by some rubble! Central City is the setting at night where we the streak of The Flash racing past cars. He runs over the Missouri River to Iron Heights prison. Barry Allen’s thoughts think about the fog covering the island bound prison. It is slowing him down, a poison? He comes to a stop at a claw partially lit by a lighthouse. It is the claw of the Titan, Scylla, a crab-like Kaiju with a tentacled mouth over the shattered prison. The Flash calls it a “Cthulhu-squid-crab-thing”, funny!
The Flash runs past the freed villains, but they surround him so the Fastest Man Alive takes them all on! Rainbow Rider says that The Flash seems to have slowed by the fog. The villains don’t seem to be fazed by the appearance of a Kaiju! He is overwhelmed and then the prisoners are blasted back by winds. A closeup shows the super breath of Supergirl! She is revealed with her super breath blowing away the fog. The Flash takes care of Rainbow Rider with a fist. Supergirl flies off to deal with Scylla as she is joined by Green Lantern. They fly towards the battle, fists forward, GL has his ring-powered fist. Supergirl pauses stunned that she can’t hear the heart of her cousin, Kal-El!
Great expression of Kara’s shock in a closeup as she flies to check on Superman. Scylla and The Flash see her leave. Then, we see Godzilla giving his victory roar standing over the fallen Superman with Billy Batson reaching out to him. He was defeated last issue by Godzilla. There are giant boots on the street by them, next to the unconscious Hawkgirl, and the surprised Billy. The giant Atom Smasher, a hero from the Justice Society, takes Godzilla’s right leg to knock him down with an elbow smash! Hawkgirl starts to revive as Godzilla falls! She flies towards Superman as Godzilla’s tail strikes Atom Smasher back! She helps Billy lift up Superman and says they have to leave.
Godzilla chomps on the back of Atom Smasher’s neck, nasty! Atom Smasher falls and Billy resolves himself saying Godzilla killed them. It is great to see the costs of the Titans rampage even to superheroes! He faces Godzilla and then shouts, “Shazam!” The bolt zaps through Godzilla, very cool! The transformed Shazam flies into battle! His gauntleted fist flies up joined by the fist of Supergirl! The double strike by both heroes is probably one of the strongest forces ever seen in a splash pag with the fists insert! The collapse of Godzilla across two pages in a large panel is awesome. Supergirl lands to tell Hawkgirl to take Superman to the Fortress of Solitude. A call is made for Justice Leaguers to help in Central City. Supergirl flies away.
At Iron Heights prison, Green Lantern is thrown back by Scylla while The Flash takes on his Rogue’s Gallery. The Flash uses the ribbon tendrils of the Goldne Glider to slam her into a column. Captain Cold takes out his cold gun, angry that the Flash took out his sister, the other Legion of Doom members, Black Manta and Cheetah are with him. Cheetah says they should be looking for Toyman. The Flash is caught by Captain Cold’s blast. Black Manta says he has sent Deathstroke to find Toy Man. Cheetah notes the plan to add to the Legion with the Iron Heights prisoners. The frozen Flash surprises Green Lantern who is taken by Scylla’s tentacles! Over Themysicria, Troia and Wonder Woman fly towards the mastodon-like Behemoth with long, curved tusks.
It has come ashore with Amazons readying a giant crossbow! This is like the weapon used against the Cyclops in The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958), love it! They land at the crossbow, Diana has Donna tied her blue Lasso of Persuasion to the end of the crossbow bolt. Wonder Woman lashes her Lasso of Truth and walks towards the end of the crossbow. She orders the crossbow to be fired, really loosed, adn the bolt hurtles towards the Titan. Both lassos are flung around the Behemoth and in a large panel both heroes pull the beast against the moon. Wonder Woman tries to calm the Titan and suddenly it throws the two Amazons from its back! Then, heads away, Wonder Woman says it is being called. Mysterious.
Green Lantern projects a sphere to stop Syclla from devouring him while The Flash is trapped! Still, he is able to shatter the ice and sees the Legion escape. Barry sees Hal caught in the sphere and then rotates his arms to create a vortex that blasts Scylla in a two page large panel! We check in on Skull Island with Green Arrow. Supergirl flies there, appearing at three of the battlegrounds!, the rest of the Justice League are not sharing the burden. In Gotham City, the restrained Camazotz, taken down last issue by Batman and his team, is monitored. Cyborg has detected a “high-frequency beacon” behind the Titans. Shazam arrives with some bad news. Then, we have Lex Luthor with a mystery in the desert! Super hero and Kaiju action with the possible loss of Superman! The stakes are raised in Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #3!
Five Dreamstones out of Five!
