The Monarch Files: A Monsterverse Manual Hardcover
by Greg Keyes
The Titans of the Monsterverse have conquered the big screen and now, with this deluxe guide, their mysteries are revealed in full. This Monarch manual is filled with artwork and information that uncovers the secrets of the Monarch organization: employees, technology, and the Titans themselves, including Godzilla, Kong, Mothra, King Ghidorah, and many more!

“ATTN: MONARCH AGENTS AND RESEARCHERS

Attached for immediate review are The Monarch Files: a comprehensive, vital, and highly sensitive dossier on notable monsters, Titans, and Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms (M.U.T.O.s). You will find up-to-date behavioral profiles, physiological analyses, and capability assessments.

Also contained within are field reports detailing operatives’ encounters with M.U.T.O.s. It is expected that every Monarch employee study these accounts with diligence.

Note: High-resolution photographs are included where possible, but artist approximations have been substituted in for cases when mission photographers did not return from their field surveys.

All information contained herein on employees, technology, and geographical locations is confidential, for Monarch employees with B-grade clearance or greater. DO NOT DISSEMINATE.”
