believes the fanbase will be pleased with the film.
With every MonsterVerse adventure, Legendary Comics has released supplemental reading material. For shared some concept art found in The Art of Godzilla: King of the Monsters for fans to enjoy. With all this, it should come as no surprise Legendary will be going all-out with its supplemental material for its biggest MonsterVerse movie yet.
Recently, Legendary Comics held an online "WonderCon@Home" for Godzilla vs. Kong. In the video, the company announced two prequel graphic novels for the film. The first will be from Godzilla's perspective, digging into his character and role as a planet protector. The book will be written by Greg Keyes, who wrote the novelization for Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and illustrated by Drew Johnson. On the flip side, the second graphic novel will feature Kong and will focus on a female pilot. The book will be written by Marie Anello, and illustrated by Zid. Not only that, but Legendary revealed details on a new Titan whose theme is darkness, a creature called Camazotz, named for the Mayan bat god. Check out the video as well as more images of Camazotz (via Kaiju News Outlet) below.
In addition to the graphic novel, there will also be a Kong picture book for younger readers. It will be illustrated by Nidhi Chanani, with Kiki Thorpe authoring. Finally, like the other MonsterVerse movies, Godzilla vs. Kong will be receiving an art book. Written by Daniel Wallace, the book will feature plenty of interviews, including one with Godzilla vs. Kong director Adam Wingard. All in all, there looks to be a lot of material for MonsterVerse fans coming up.
Interestingly, a Godzilla vs. Kong toy leak back in April revealed new winged Titan called Nozuki. The existence of the toy doesn't necessarily confirm an appearance from Nozuki in the movie, but it's certainly a possibility. The same may be true for Camazotz, with their appearance in the prequel comic meant to set up a big screen appearance in Godzilla vs. Kong. Then again, if Camazotz is fighting Kong in the comic, it could very well be that he meets his demise and instead his role in the story is to show how powerful King has become. Fans have been asking for a Godzilla vs. Kong trailer, and perhaps when one releases, it'll shed some light on what other Titans are returning alongside Godzilla and Kong. Legendary has yet to announce when a trailer will release, but assuming the film isn't delayed a second time, one will hopefully arrive soon.
