Friday Night Fights--Thunder Lizard Style!!

OK, OK, how to present this....you see, this just might be the most freakin' mind-blowing Friday Night Fight EVER. And in the interest of protecting you, the dear reader, I'm going to have to lead you into this verrrrrry gently, lest your brain explode from sheer awesomeness!! Seriously...So how to start (ever so careully)? How about this:

Godzilla in a tank of sharks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait, wait, calm down....we're not even close to the mind-blowing part yet!!

A little background is called for here. In perhaps the most unjustly overlooked series of the entire 1970's, Marvel's Godzilla, we each month had the stunning spectacle of Godzilla interacting with some of Marvel's finest. At the point we're observing, Godzilla has been temporarily shrunk down by Pym particles (?!?!?!) to a more managable 20 feet tall. So after a chase through the Natural History Museum in New York City (OMG) the Fantastic Four corner him in a shark tank (ahhhhh!!!) Which leads to this:



THE EVER LOVIN' BLUE-EYED THING FIGHTING SHARKS?!?!

Slow down there, fair reader...we haven't yet begun to tip the scales of craziness here!! Anyway, after subduing the King of All Monsters, Reed Richards hits upon the keenest solution of all time:

Let's use Doctor Doom's time machine to send Godzilla back to the Mesozoic!!!! It's so crazy, that it just might work!!

Well, it does (for awhile). And of course, this is Godzilla, so despite being somewhat...diminished, what's the first thing thjat happens when he arrives? Yup, HE FIGHTS DINOSAURS!!! And not just any dinosaurs, but EVIL DINOSAURS:



Now, what is the iron clad rule of 1970's Marvel comics? When two heroes meet for the first time, they fight mistakenly. IT IS A RULE, DAMMIT!! So when our special guest star's buddy doesn't understand that those were EVIL dinosaurs Godzilla just BBQ'd, he has his buddy leap into action:

(WAIT!! BEFORE YOU EXAMINE THE NEXT PANELS, HAVE A BUCKET NEARBY TO COLLECT THE REMANTS OF YOUR EXPLODED BRAIN!!!)



That's right, friends....GODZILLA VERSUS DEVIL DINOSAUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your brains have just exploded.





Sadly, that whiney Moon Boy breaks them up before we get a true winner. Sigh...But we all know Godzilla would have kicked his ass, right?

Because the only being Godzilla can't totally destroy is the man called Bahlactus!!
