Description
Set immediately after the events of Godzilla vs Megaguirus, Godzilla is back and on the rampage. There's nothing left that can stop the monster, until a visitor from another dimension is pulled through to hopefully do what no one else can...end Godzilla's reign of terror for good! It's the King of the Monsters vs. The Guardian of the Universe!Godzilla © Toho Studios
Gamera © Daiei Motion Picture Company
Story and artwork © Sam Messerly (me)
This is a fan work.
The comic was drawn traditionally using mechanical pencil (sketching), Precise Rolling Ball v5 Extra Fine (lineart), and Sharpie marker (for panel frames). Afterwards, I scanned it and then I used Adobe Photoshop Elements in order to do the grayscale shading.

I guess from my perspective I honestly didn't feel like Gamera won on this deal, at least overall, but I appreciate anyone who can see what I was going for here

Very well done, and while im a little disturbed by godzilla's death (in the sense that he blew up and that he actually dies) i totally understand why you chose to end it the way you did. (though godzilla has been to space before and withstood the pressure change
Really REALLY loved the ghost godzilla idea! Puts a interesting spin on the story which is fanscinating and refreshing from the normal one wins one dies kinda thing, though i would have liked to see more struggle in gamera's side to try and fight off godzillas spirit.
the only other thing that bothered me was that mothra can speak, since its usually the shobijin that does the speaking for her, but that is something i can easily overlook

Thanks, and those are all fair critiques. basically the reason for a lot of those little adjustments, especially Mothra and the ending, was in the interest of time. I had to keep the issue to 50 pages or less, so I just had the chibi Mothra speak for the Shobijin like it did in the one scene of Spacegodzilla on the beach. But I knew it was touchy ground picking a definitive "winner", even if Godzilla is more popular. The funniest part was I did this YEARS before the Death Match version of this fight on Youtube, and they actually used some of my ideas, hopefully by coincidence but still, it was pretty funny. Thanks for giving it a read!

To quote a famous comic book character: "Nothing ends. Nothing ever ends."
I'm sure they'll keep battling each other until one of them falls.

It's actually ... a rather pleasant comic book. I would have liked a bit more of characterization for the two aside from hero-villain, although maybe because my favorite movies are where Godzilla was more heroic (like the newest one) while for Gamera my favorite was 'Super Monster' where he was... far less heroic, let's say.
Maybe if that version were the one of GMK I'd have cheered more for Gamera (that and Monthra)
Curiosly, of all the Kaju you depicted, my favorite was here Monthra, maybe because she was allowed to talk and overall have a gentle idea. While I found weird how Godzilla was killed by Gamera considering that version had shrugged off a (very unrealistic) black hole, I liked the strategy of forcing Godzilla in a areal battle and the fact his spirit would seek revenge... well, nice. I felt sad for the characters, even though it was meant to be bittersweet.
Still, very enjoyable as a story, if not too short, and you know how to draw the monsters, especially give them an hint of characterization with some brief shots. Bravo

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad it was overall a positive piece of work for your tastes. I know I can't please everybody but generous comments fuel artwork, so I appreciate it.

To diss it would be a lie on my side and a pathetic attempt to troll you. Neither are worthy as it's good 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sadly the one-shots can't be very long, mostly because of my other commitments, but also it's an expense thing. I print off a couple dozen copies of each one shot every year to take to G-Fest and give to friends, and unfortunately when they get too long it becomes too expensive for me to run off all the copies, so 50 pages tends to be the max. The only exception is "Godzilla:Triumphant" which is my ongoing web comic. Hopefully someone else will tke up the challenge and make a longer, fuller G vs G comic, because I would be happy to read it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But still the result of what you wrote was enjoyable. My only real change would have been to use the GMK Godzilla as he is the evilest AND the one who went against Guardians like Gamera
I know I have been reading it, so far Godzilla: Thriumphant is being enjoyable.
Sorry if this question sounds weird, but are you looking forward the Death Battle video between the two Kaiju?

Fascinating, I wasn't aware that there was one. Too bad they couldn't get their hands on some real suits XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They are making one. Of course, though, many people are betting their money on the King of Monsters though

May the king find rest .... And his rage quelled.... He may now rest, for he has finally found peace...

Very good, but none of the monsters won. Still cool.

You got it, that was the idea

That's very kind of you, thank you. This was loads of fun to do, and it was a small hit at G-Fest so that makes me very proud. Just one fan doing what he can. Thanks again.

more then welcome, im actually writing a story (perhaps movie script) currently. Ill let you know when its finished.

What a way to to end a comic.
I always hoped to see a fight like this, and I finally did. Originally Kadokawa Pictures had approached Toho about an idea for a Godzilla vs Gamera crossover film, but Toho rejected the idea.
It's nice to see that someone like you actually turned this idea into a reality by making a fan comic.
Awesome work.

All very kind of you to say, thank you. I was one of those frustrated fans who had always wanted SOMEBODY to make it into a graphic novel story since a media version was never forthcoming, but seeing none I had to be proactive. I really had hopes that it would inspire other artists to do their own twists on it, but any comic is a long commitment, this one took me about 4 months.

That makes ten of you and I'm eternally grateful

I like this ending, i the king can't win then no one can. also I like the fusion look of gamera after godzilla takes control of hi body, very awsome!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Funny thing is I was ripping off without realizing I was ripping off. kaijusamurai has a fusion of these two he made before mine, but when I realized what I'd done it was too late in the game to change anything, so I left it, but technically he gets the credit for it. I do feel though this was the best ending I could have gone with, I didn't want to pick favorites and piss on fans but it still did a number anyway XD LOTS of angry Godzilla fans leapt down my throat over this. But you can't please everybody.

Was about to go into this whole thing about how Godzilla would win, but it seems peopel have already done it for me xP

Then I'll just stay happy that I've satisfied no one by making it a tie

I was really grateful to them for putting the comic on there, thank you for finding it twice!

Great comic and though it's a tie. I disagree with that since I think Godzilla would win. All the stuff Godzilla has done makes Gamera an amateur.
Surviving standing in the center of a black hole and causing it to collapse just by being in it. (Godzilla vs Megaguirus)
Being hit directly in the chest with a ball of energy at Absolute Zero and surviving with nothing but a small gash. This was one of the weaker Godzilla's. (Godzilla against Mechagodzilla.)
Regenerated from nothing but a beating heart. This was one of the weakest Godzilla's. (Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack!)
Took on Marvel's Fantastic Four and Avengers and left with no damage whatsoever. (Marvel Godzilla comics.)
Proven to be superior in strength to Thor. (Marvel Godzilla.)
Capable of destroying a meteor that was at least 100 miles across. (Godzilla: Final Wars.)
Threw 30,000 ton Kumonga over the horizon. (Godzilla: Final Wars)
Atomic Breath stated to be as hot as the sun. (Godzilla vs King Kong and Godzilla 2000.)
Gets his spine severed in two and continues fighting on like nothing happened. (Godzilla vs Destoroyah.)
Lived in a volcano for almost a decade. (Terror of Mechagodzilla.)
Also I heard Godzilla is omnipotent and that his Spiral Ray Beam is much stronger than the Big Bang. Also Gamera had his own hand cut off and couldn't even regenerate it back. So yeah. Godzilla wins.
Has Gamera ever done any of that stuff?

I loved this but I think they would have been friends not enimes Godzilla only attacks monsters who hurt the earth

Oh really?

ya I get what your saying but I had and idea that Godzilla and gamera fight mecha gamera and kury

There was never a Mecha Gamera, it's a fan made kaiju.

well duh i said it was an idea

Very awesome job on the comic! I loved it a lot and I was always wanting to see a battle between Gojira and Gamera. I am happy you made Godzilla the villain. In my opinion, he always played a wicked villain. I loved the fusion between Godzilla and Gamera as well. Keep up the fantastic work!

I appreciate that very much, believe me, I knew going in that there would be some upset fans over some of my choices here but I honestly didn't want to alienate anybody, just try and tell a good story. I love Godzilla in both roles of hero and villain, but I think what's nice is that he can be flexible enough to be a villain when needed, so thank you for seeing my intentions. Now I'll be busy for a while on the Double Feature, but I hope that it goes over well
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, some fans are bound to get upset by some of the choices, but I know you made the right ones. I am excited to read the Double Feature. Will you be posting it on DA?

I post the big fancy kaiju comic projects online after they get their first exposure at G-Fest, so yes it will be online in its 48 page entirety in mid July. In the meantime I just make everyone suffer with the craptastic low quality work of Godzilla: Triumphant
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah I see. I wouldn't say that Godzilla: Triumphant is craptastic low quality work. It is totally amazing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
heh, thanks for that. Triumphant is low quality on purpose though, just an exercise of daily art basically, but I always want to make up for it with higher material now and then. Speaking of which..... *uploads pic*

You are welcome.

No probs, no probs. I've never really thought of a Gamera comic outside of Godzilla vs. Gamera, honestly, don't really know why, other than a very loaded schedule. I love Gamera, I've just never had a story develop in my head like it does other fandoms of mine.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I understand. Having a busy schedule wouldn't help. Thank you for answering my question. Perhaps one day, an idea for a Gamera comic may come to your mind.

But not until they discover an egg of Godzilla and an egg of gamera.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
free of pain and rage? wheres the fun in that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's Mothra, just wanting everyone to be happy. Godzilla is happiest I think getting to show off and beat other kaiju to a pulp, so I could totally see him enjoying non-stop tussling in the monster afterlife
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
And then every other monster comes to Japan and destroys it /o/ *shot*
That was an interesting comic to say the least o 3 o
