Image Comics Announces New Kaiju Comic ‘The Giant Kokjü’ By ‘Deadpool’ Duo Duggan And Koblish
by Olly MacNamee
Deadpool creators — Gerry Duggan and Scott Koblish—reunite once again to give fans a new giant monster series, The Giant Kokjü. This three issue miniseries that sees Hollywood attacked by big ass monsters. Who wouldn’t want that? I couldn’t think of a better city to destroy.
.
“A tale of woe, The Giant Kokjü is about a monster with physical needs. It needs a restroom. It needs food, too. And, most unfortunately, it needs…sexual satisfaction. The only thing standing in its way are the men and women of science.”
Duggan said excitedly about this new series, and his collaboration with good friend Koblish:
“I recently celebrated ten years of collaborating with Scott, and this is how I thank him. Giant Kojkü is a cornucopia of low hanging fruit, and it all works. Scott will make you laugh in one panel and bum you out the next. I never wanted to see a kaiju’s dick either but the last few years haven’t been kind. We’re making the best of it. The Giant Kokjü has it all—laughs, tears, and a beating heart…and some other body parts. Get smashed this April.”
Koblish added to this love-in:
“I pledged during the pandemic to start drawing comics that no one else could draw—and to spend much of my time creating things outside of the major comic mainstream. This is definitely that. People often make the pledge that you ‘have never seen what you’re about to see in a comic book ever before!’ but I can guarantee with every issue of The Giant Kokjü, Gerry and I are prepared to deliver on that promise.”
Now for a first look:
The Giant Kokjü #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, April 12
