So far there are 11 pages &#8212; all crammed full with tentacles, stomping feet, urban rubble and kaiju action, set against the backdrop of Paris. Why? We don&#8217;t know yet. Early days and all that. So far, we haven&#8217;t got more than a brief glimpse of the pilots of the robot fighting machines &#8212; except as disembodied &#8220;voices&#8221; &#8212; but there has been a heap of secondhand scrap metal created from various Parisian buildings. As the web-comic progresses, we will no doubt come to understand what&#8217;s going on, and in the meantime you can revel in artist Jason Copland&#8217;s scenes of monstrous black-and-white conflict.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/roberthood.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/1116-kam.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9199 aligncenter\" title=\"1116-kam\" src=\"http:\/\/roberthood.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/1116-kam.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"286\" height=\"645\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Kill All Monsters!<\/em> &#8212; written by Michael May, drawn by Copland and lettered by Ed Brisson &#8212; is hosted by the <a href=\"http:\/\/review2akill.com\/2010\/11\/19\/kill-all-monsters\/\" target=\"_blank\">Review 2 A Kill website<\/a>.
