Primeval Plains

APOCALYPTIC PROPHECY



Welcome to Kaiju Kingdoms, an ancient domain of massive beasts that protects their territories against an extraterrestrial foe. Summoned by a mysterious cult, it's up its inhabitants Enzo, Asha, and the other humans of this planet to lay their faith on a tool known as the kaijumori to fight back. The series opens with Enzo Di Corso, a boy from the Kingdom of Vencia. He recalls stories told to him from his father, the great explorer Jacopo Di Corso, of giant beasts that protects the many kingdoms. Enzo has terrible dreams including a vision of a horrid space monstrosity headed towards the world. Flash forward to current day and we have a now adult Enzo with his partner, the fierce warrior Asha Jakande, as they travel together facing off bandits who wield the power of the kaiju against them. The giant monsters known as Kaiju come from the deep, the sky, and the strange and are the last line of protection by any means necessary. Ultimately, the monsters shine throughout the story and bring life to the plot bringing out a variety of emotions for the creatures and the world they inhabit.


Kaiju Kingdoms is a love letter of the big kaiju monster of yore in comic form. Kaiju Kingdoms can enthrall the reader from the very cover. If you are a fan of old Godzilla and Jurassic Park movies, this will sink its teeth into fans (forgive the puns). The imagery, the worship of these ancient creatures is reminiscent of an old SNES game Primal Rage in the best way possible. Kaiju Kingdoms itself has the possibility to be a monster of lore and ancestral battles. Empathy can easily be felt for the terrestrial kaiju including the daikaiju Ryugon. Brian Del Rio has written a world ripe enough that begs to dive into. Kaiju Kingdoms dons an engaging art form that is colorful and energetic yet pressing when it's needed to be. The series has vibrant details in a manga-esque style and can take the reader back to a saturday morning cartoon feel. The series takes the reader on a journey of mythicism and latches them on until the closing panel. Currently, the series is only on its third issue but we anticipate much more from Brian Del Rio. Available on Comixology, issue one is priced at 99 cents while issue two and three are at $3.99. All in all, we would want to see more of these kaiju creatures and their origins, their human cohorts, mythology, and lore as soon as possible. Readers can find more info of Kaiju Kingdoms and Brian Del Rio at Mobili Comics site.
