Synopsis for "The Isle of Lost Monsters"
As Godzilla fends off another attack made by SHIELD's Godzilla squad, Demonicus unleashes his other monsters to attack the beast. Realizing there's a complex below, Dum Dum sends Gabriel Jones to investigate. Gabe is captured by Demonicus and his men. Demonicus explains that he was a scientist that was exposed to radiation during an accident, and was deemed unfit to continue practicing. Clearly ignoring his own madness, he learned of the Lifestone which had fallen in the Aleutian Islands. He then constructed this base and created the monsters which are now fighting Godzilla in order to use as weapons for world domination. When Demonicus is told that his creatures are being killed by Godzilla, Gabe uses the moment to break loose and stop Demonicus. As Godzilla kills the last of Demonicus' monsters, SHIELD destroys his base, captures him and frees the Eskimo tribe under his rule. As Godzilla leaves the scene, Dum Dum begins to wonder just how intelligent Godzilla really is. Notes This issue is reprinted in Essential Godzilla, Volume 1. Doctor Demonicus appears next in Shogun Warriors #12. Trivia Lepirax is an analog for the Toho monster Mothra.

Synopsis for "A Tale of Two Saviors"
Godzilla arrives in San Francisco and begins tearing apart the Golden Gate Bridge. Police officers arrive on the scene, but are powerless to stop him. In Los Angeles, the Champions catch a news broadcast of the catastrophe and board the Champscraft, ready to help. When they arrive, Angel is the first one to soar out across San Francisco Bay, but Godzilla, unaware of his presence, swats him away with a mighty stroke of his tail. Iceman creates an ice-bridge to evacuate pedestrians off the Golden Gate. Godzilla marches onto dry land, where Hercules manages to get under his foot. With a mighty heave, he actually succeeds in toppling Godzilla over. Iceman encases Godzilla's head in a solid block of ice, but the monster bites through it. Dum Dum Dugan and other members of the Godzilla Squad fly over the scene in their flight packs and drop electro-nets onto Godzilla, but these too prove ineffective. Godzilla tears away a section of the bridge and heaves it at the Helicarrier, downing it. The Golden Gate Bridge has been destroyed! With nothing else to do, Godzilla turns and marches out to sea. Notes Letters (story pages): Saladino (uncredited) page 1. This issue is reprinted in Essential Godzilla, Volume 1.

Synopsis for "Thunder in the Darkness!" Resurfacing in Seattle, Washington, Godzilla continues his rampage in America. As the beast destroys everything in it's path, SHIELD's Godzilla Squad triest their best to keep the creature contained with their weapons. While inside the SHIELD helicarrier, Dum Dum Dugan speaks with Yuriko Takiguchi and Tamara Hashioka about how to destroy the creature, upsetting young Robert Takiguchi, who does not wish to see the monster killed. As the creature approaches the Space Needle, a plan is devised when they realize that Godzilla appears to be drawn by the lights of the city. Shutting off the power, the SHIELD agents then lure the creature with a giant spotlight to the coast of the Pacific Ocean, where they blind Godzilla with a blast of light from the helicarrier. As the beast is disorientated they fire projectiles at the monster knocking it into the ocean. While everyone else considers the mission a success, Robert believes that Godzilla's cunning will see him return to attack the United States anew. Notes Cohen is credited as Jan Cohen.
