Cannon's story might seem to be a joke at first, aimed at fans of “kaiju” films such as Godzilla, especially as illustrated in his candy-colored, cartoonish style. But the pain and horror of prison life is no laughing matter and readers will ache with sympathy for some characters, while seething with frustration or anger over others. Death, rape, and violence are all prevalent, as are corruption, greed, and short-sightedness. Though the various subplots are a bit confusing at first, especially as readers learn to understand the prison slang, liberally sprinkled with kaiju references, Cannon is a top-notch writer and illustrator, and readers will be sucked into his unique, yet familiar, world.
