The Rundown: The League learns more about the titans as heroes attempt to save Atlantis from Godzilla.
Godzilla continues to fight the Kraken outside Atlantis while Lois receives information about Godzilla, the titans more from the Monarch files. While the heroes attempt to regroup, Shazam goes after the Legion of Doom who have lost control of the creatures and Supergirl returns to find Grodd attempting to control Kong.
While Batman and his team create something that can help with the battle, Lex decides to create his own device to bring Godzilla in line while Ras Al Ghul has his own plan for the wayward titans.
The Story: The story gets a more direct connection to the world of Godzilla with the Monarch reveal and the story gets more interesting for it. Having the League finally go into investigation mode is a great element of the story that adds tension to what could just be a story full of monster brawling. I like the way the story is expanding and evolving and the ending makes me excited to see what happens next.
The Art: Derenick delivers some beautifully detailed art throughout the issue. The story is filled with great action and the art delivers on that action with visual thrills.
