James Stokoe tackles giant monsters in "Godzilla: The Half-Century War"

Comicbookresources.com has a more in-depth article on the upcoming IDW Godzilla series "Godzilla: The Half-Century War". 

From what things sound like...it'll certainly be a far reaching series.

MUCH broader than I had anticipated.

Here's a direct quote from the article and the interview with writer/artist James Stokoe:

"Stokoe's lifelong interest in all things Godzilla comes in handy for "The Half-Century War," which, as the title indicates, spans five decades of Godzilla history. It stars Lieutenant Ota Murakami, who encounters Godzilla during his first attack and develops an obsession with the creature that lasts for the next 50 years. "Ota starts out the series as a tank commander in the Japan Self-Defense Forces during Godzilla's initial 1954 attack on Tokyo," Stokoe said. "He develops a rather peculiar sense of awe and devotion over this giant destructive lizard that's burning everything around him.""

Sounds really cool...as we should see Godzilla represented in his various modes throughout several decades.

There's even a blurb where James mentions his affinity for Godzilla 1985, so there's no doubt in my mind that this specific Godzilla representation will at least encompass one issue.
