"Godzilla doing time in HBO’s “Oz” is catchy shorthand, but it does not fully capture this comic."

Reviews
"This is a poignant, modern critique of culture in an easily accessible and satirical package. Fans of brainy, incisive comics should look no further than Kaijumax."
“Teens will be attracted by the idea of a jail for giant monsters and find themselves falling in love with, caring about, crying for, and wanting to kill some of the characters—both monster and human.”
“"Kaijumax is a heart-wrenching, socially conscious comic about monsters in and out of prison."
