REVIEW: 'The Giant Kokju' #2 by Gerry Duggan, Scott Koblish, and Hi-Fi

  THE GIANT KOKJU #2 Writer: Gerry Duggan Artist: Scott Koblish, Hi-Fi Letterer: Joe Sabino Publisher: Image Comics Release Date: May 17, 2023 Cover Price: $3.99 The writer and artist behind the bestest Deadpool comics in existence reunite to tell the hella screwed-up story of a giant monster...with very physical needs. San Francisco is under threat from King Dong, if you will. Our entire world is threatened by this monster and its gross needs. Frank Gray foretold this monster's coming, and now it's up to him to bring matters to a climax...with the help of a mothballed mecha from the Disco Era. It's a giant monster attack like you've never seen before, or ever will again. Score: ★★★★☆ (4/5) 'The Giant Kokju' #2 by Gerry Duggan, Scott Koblish, and Hi-Fi is unabashedly absurd, silly, and entertaining. It's the kind of funny spoof that we don't often see in comics as much nowadays. So, in reading reviews for it, people either like it or hate it....
