Years have passed since the monster apocalypse nearly destroyed mankind. Now it is merely a distant, nightmarish memory for Hiroshi, an elder in one of the few remaining tribes of humans. Little does Hiroshi know that the apocalypse is not over, and that his memories of the past may yet save the future!

ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
In Godzilla: Cataclysm, humanity is surviving in refugee camps after the world has been destroyed by the fighting between the different kaiju and also the monsters attacking the humans themselves. It has been years since the last sighting of any of the monsters so the humans have begun (of course) to worship them as gods in the hopes that they will never come back. Also of course, this hope is in vain as Godzilla has far from forgotten what the humans tried to do to him and is determined that they will never rebuild. Godzilla and the other monsters go head to head, often wiping out humans in the process until things come to a head and only one monster can come out on top.
This was definitely a guilty pleasure read for me but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm a sucker for monster movies in general and this fit in perfectly. I have to admit that I knew almost none of the kaiju other than Godzilla himself and there are a lot of them so if you aren't already familiar with them, keep Wikipedia handy. It's not exactly a real intellectual read but the artwork is good and it's definitely a fun read.
