“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 kaiju cinema. Brought to life on an epic scale by renowned fantasy artist Patrick McEvoy, it looks back to 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.
Reviews
Kirkus Reviews

this beautiful graphic novel seeks to be something different. 

Indie Comic Book Noise

The book is cool! A mix of sequential art in a painterly style… I enjoyed this quite a bit. 

Optic House

Tense interrogations, twists, turns, and conspiracies. Great art, great story. To say anymore would spoil a wonderful read. Looking forward to Book two.

Revolution SF

My favorite part is the bonus bits after the story… Then they go deep, deep into the sci-fi science of the kaiju, and the diagrams and the big words are worth the price of admission. 

The Geekverse

World War Kaiju looks flat-out gorgeous…the team’s fondness for the source material makes itself felt through the attention to detail evident in the book’s pastiches and the sense of glee that emanates from the volume’s multiple action set pieces.
