Through pencil roughs and sketches, series artists Matt Frank and Jeff Zornow turned in numerous cover concepts that
would not only tell the story contained within a particular issue, but also help showcase some of the monster cast that
would be returning or even appearing for the first time in that issue. The final issue featured a wraparound cover by each
artist, and each of those covers featured nearly every monster that had been in the series’ full 25-issue run. But in addition
to the cast of monsters readers have come to know, the team had to take into consideration the fact that the new Trilopod
monsters would have to appear as well.
Knowing that the Trilopod forces were going to harvest Earth’s monsters and create hybrid mutations of them, the team
had a lot of fun sketching bizarre new versions of the monster roster. Not only did the hybrid creatures need to mimic the
powers and abilities of a kaiju, but they also needed to be recognizeable to the reader as well. Artists Matt Frank and Jeff
Zornow began working on taking the existing cast and adding their own special touches to the hybrids’ designs. Starting with
the basic formula of the Trilopod Alpha and Beta merged, they were able to come up with some very cool, very unique, and
very familiar versions of Godzilla’s supporting cast.
