haunted
the day you killed yourself
you appeared as flies
and rats giving birth
in my garden you never tended
even after all those years apart
you swarmed me with your noise
you built a nest like a wasp
in all the places near my heart
poisoning every room
defiling every memory
even in death
you will not leave me alone

But check it out: the super-duper grown-ups nailed the King of the Monsters with a shrinker-izer that made him easier to handle. Doesn’t that sound like the kind of messed-up thing an adult would do to your huge green buddy? How is he supposed to annihilate civilization at that size?!?
But we digress… Suffice to say, Godzilla doesn’t take any crap from this rat — although there’s plenty of it floating in the water! Yuck! Let’s check out the way Herb Trimpe draws this slimy saga of savage sewage supremacy.

It would never happen, you say? Let’s see what the deal is in Ex Machina #31:
