Description
WATCH THE ANIMATED TRAILER: [link]WORLD WAR KAIJU!
Atomic monsters come to Kickstarter in the form of a graphic novel that asks, “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 and the men who plan to use them to dominate the world.
THE KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN
World War Kaiju is currently seeking support on Kickstarter. The campaign will be running from June to August. Team Kaiju needs a total of $15,000 to complete production of the art, and then print the book at the best quality possible. Our ultimate goal is to supply fans with a 200+ page hardcover edition of book one.
Written by Josh Finney (Titanium Rain, Utopiates)
Art by Patrick McEvoy (Arkham Horror, Call of Cthulhu)

No. "Kaiju" means "strange beast" in Japanese. It is also used to refer to a genre of giant monster movies which includes the Godzilla films. Pacific Rim did not invent the word kaiju.

Hmmm...I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. If you find it funny, great. That was the intent. If you are offended, realize this art is a parody / lampooning of the "Red Scare" in 1950s America.
