Godzilla: Doomsday

Godzilla: Doomsday is a four-issue comic book miniseries published in 1997 by Dark Horse Comics. It was written by Jim Krueger and Alex Ross, with art by Ross.
The series is set in an alternative future where kaiju attacks have forced humanity to end World War III. The story kicks off when the psychic Miki Saegusa betrays humanity after they begin to attack the kaiju as they try to live their lives in peace, beginning another war with kaiju. Miki, using her telepathic abilities, encourage Godzilla and the rest of the kaiju to finally decide what's best for humanity.
The series has made positive reviews. It was translated by Phase Six in 2023.
== Development ==
When Alex Ross was working on Marvels in 1994, he decided he should create a similar "grand opus" about both characters from DC Comics (which would become Kingdom Come, published in 1996) and monsters in the Godzilla franchise by Toho. As he did with what would be Kingdom Come for DC, Ross wrote a 40-page handwritten outline on what would become Godzilla: Doomsday.
== Plot ==
In the final days of World War III in 2035, Godzilla attacks Seattle, which was already devastated by the War. The constant attacks from kaiju have seemingly put the War to an end.
In the weeks that followed the mysterious attacks and the War's end, the kaiju, who we're just disturbed of their peace and confusing the War as being another threat to fight, are living peacefully in Monster Island. However, the island is suddenly attacked by the military, who see the kaiju as "evil gods." In Japan, Miki Seagusa senses this due to her psychic abilities. She then deems humanity a threat to the planet, and knows that Godzilla can be a monument of mankind's sins just like what he was all those years ago in 1954.
