A different kind of green monster will be stomping the streets of Boston this summer He s been seen in cities like Tokyo and New York plenty of times but the Bay State takes center stage in the new upcoming comic Godzilla vs Boston Godzilla comes to Boston and sort of mayhem ensues reported writer artist Jesse Lonergan An experiment goes wrong and there s a giant lobster created that attacks Boston And Godzilla sort of comes to the defense of the city The mutant lobster is far from the only recognizable Boston feature incorporated by writer and artist Lonergan As multiple Boston landmarks as I could get in got destroyed in the process revealed Lonergan It s just this very very destructive sort of tourist ride through the city That path of destruction blows through the Prudential Center Fenway Park the Common and much more One scene that may be therapeutic for certain shows Godzilla pick up a green line train and wield it as a weapon Maybe expressing particular frustrations with the T coming out noted Lonergan The comic book is part of a series Godzilla versus America The monster has already been through Los Angeles and Chicago Lonergan a Vermont native who used to live in Boston explained why he likes exploring cities through the artform of comic books There is this sort of instant appeal to it reported Lonergan Like I just remember you know when I used to see it as a kid I would just sort of be pulled into it There s also the possibility of looking into the page more and getting more out of it He also touched on the pressure to make his drawings as accurate as attainable Especially with something like this when I m drawing Boston getting the Prudential Center to look like the Prudential Center
