Kaiju artist extraordinaire, Todd Tennant — whose work has featured on Undead Backbrain many times (and even appears in the blog’s current header image) — has just told me what has to be the news of the month.<\/p>\n

“I have agreed to produce four American Kaiju<\/em> comic books for Bluewater Productions<\/a>,” he reported. “These will also be released as a graphic novel upon completion.”<\/p>\n

For those of us who have followed Tennant’s free online comics on his American Kaiju website<\/a>, this news will certainly provoke howls of joy. Bluewater Productions<\/a> is well-known as a producer of biopic comics, but also horror-fantasy epics, such as Tennant’s upcoming It Came From Beneath the Sea … Again<\/em><\/a> graphic novel.<\/p>\n

Tennant’s Bluewater American Kaiju comics will involve story ideas and characters developed by both writing collaborator Mike Bogue and Tennant himself. “The plots and characters have been updated,” he said.<\/p>\n

“It will feature eight … that’s right, eight<\/em> Kaiju characters battling it out in various and sundry parts of the Globe. I’ve already introduced you to Poseidon [pictured above], and some of my website readers may remember Gigante<\/a>, Aligon … and oh yeah, a large Megalanian-mutation named King Komodo<\/a> will be there in the mix as well. KK’s former sparring partner Snow (to be renamed by the news media as King Yeti) will also be making a return visit. There will be three new kaiju rounding out the action, along with some other surprises.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tennant gave Undead Backbrain this exclusive teaser:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Check out the American Kaiju site<\/a> to expose yourself to some great Kaiju action. You can even read the 78 pages of Tennant’s unofficial graphic-novel rendition<\/a> of the rejected Ted Elliott\/Terry Rossio 1994 Godzilla<\/em> screenplay — the one they dumped in favour of Roland Emmerich’s less-than-Godzilla-ish 1998 blockbuster. It’s wonderful stuff!<\/p>\n
