World War Kaiju
What if Doctor Strangelove created Godzilla?
World War Kaiju is the story of an alternate history, one in which the atom bomb was never created and the ultimate weapon of mass destruction is the Kaiju—fifty foot tall radioactive beasts spawned from the mysterious KAI-235 isotope. Follow the journey of one journalist as he teams up with a retired CIA operative to uncover the truth about the conspiracy behind the monsters...
...who are the architects of the inevitable Kaiju War?
...what is the shocking secret behind the mysterious KAI-235 isotope?
...where did Cuba manage to hide a crab monster the size of an aircraft carrier?
...why are rogue monsters appearing all over the world?
...how long can Tricky Dick keep these truths from the people?
Learn this and more within the pages of World War Kaiju, a graphic monster epic told in six parts!
World War Kaiju is a tribute to the kaiju genre in all its forms (both high and low). This story would never have been possible if not for the visions of Ishiro Honda, Eiji Tsuburaya, Shinichi Sekizawa, and Willis O'Brien. The brainchild of sci-fi author Josh Finney, WWK is a love letter to the golden-age of the kaiju genre. It looks to back an era when the world loved atomic monsters, but feared the atomic bomb, and warps history in ways that only men in rubber suits can.
Upon achieving our initial goal of $15,000, World War Kaiju will be an 80 page graphic novel presented in 9x6 landscape or “widescreen” format.
If we make our $35,000 stretch goal your copy of World War Kaiju could go from 80 pages to 200+ pages at no extra charge to you, the backers.

When looking for artists to approach this soon to be classic sci-fi flick, Odd City Founder, Roman Morales, quickly zeroed in on the perfect lot that could bring the director’s vision to screen printed glory.The first print in the series comes to us from an artist known as Gabz, and will come in three varieties: a regular edition, a variant edition and a metallic edition (if you're not well-versed in the world of screenprinted movie posters: yes, this means the image itself is printed on a 24x36" piece of metal). Let's take a look at those three versions below:
