When Godzilla senses humankind doing harm to the planet, the King of the Monsters attacks! When a coldly single-minded businessman uses an untested element to create clean energy for a profit, he inadvertently awakens the beast from the deep! It will be up to three intrepid middle-school students, Cedric, Emily, and Anderson--with a little magic help from Infant Island--to show Godzilla that not all humans are bad...and that there is still hope for Planet Earth. Then, Godzilla has been missing for a year and Cedric desperately needs new content for his vlog. No sightings means no destruction, and that's not a bad thing but his views are dropping and he's facing competition and trolling from Karen Higa and cyberbully Dragon. But nothing brings rivals together like a common enemy. When the otherworldly Xiliens begin using psychic technology to probe every mind on Earth for knowledge of Godzilla, they awaken the three-headed dragon King Ghidorah instead! This graphic novel compilation collects Godzilla: Monsters and Protectors--Rise Up!, Godzilla: Monsters and Protectors--All Hail the King!, and Godzilla: Monsters & Protectors--Summer Smash by writer Erik Burnham and artist Dan Schoening.

Rise Up, Part 5! The time has come to see if the world is worthy of saving! Can our heroes—with a little help from the Shobijin—show Godzilla that mankind is capable of hope? Or will the Priestesses’ frightening vision of the future come to pass?

While the Shobijin seek out proof that mankind is worth saving, the Linival Corporation, upset that their plans to help mankind with a new energy source have been interrupted by Godzilla, have come up with a plan to fight back against the King of the Monsters... and that plan is a kaiju of their own: BIOLLANTE. The titans will tussle here in the third chapter, and no matter which monster wins, it could spell trouble!

Rise Up, Part 4! The Shobijin twins, with a little help, continue their mission to seek out proof that mankind is worth saving! But they have to work fast as Godzilla and Biollante gear up for another showdown—can Cedric, Anderson, and Emily help convince these kaiju that the world shouldn’t be destroyed?!

Godzilla roars back into comics! “Rise Up!” Part 2: The world knows that the King of the Monsters has been riled up by the Linival energy plants, whose output sent Godzilla on a pan-Pacific destructive spree the likes of which the world has never seen—but the danger is greater than anyone knows. Godzilla is sitting in judgment on humanity, and the verdict could spell doom for life on Earth! The Shobijin become aware of this and know they could ask Mothra to intervene... but does humanity deserve Mothra's help? Reuniting the blockbuster creative team of writer Erik Burnham, artist Dan Schoening, and colorist Luis Antonio Delgado (Ghostbusters), “Rise Up” continues here!

Godzilla's been missing for a year, and teen vlogger Cedric desperately wants new content, but alien invaders and enemy kaiju may change his mind! Don't get us wrong, no Godzilla sightings means no destruction, and that's no bad thing. But Cedric's vlog views are dropping, and he's facing competition and trolling in the form of Karen Higa and cyberbully Dragon. But nothing brings rivals together like a common enemy. When the otherworldly Xiliens begin using psychic technology to probe every mind on Earth for knowledge of Godzilla, they awaken the three-headed dragon King Ghidorah instead! Our kaiju-connected heroes, Cedric, Emily, and Anderson, will need all the help they can get to summon Godzilla and face the new threats! Is there any way Godzilla can defeat the golden gargantuan? Can the Xiliens control the monster they've unleashed? Will anyone—human, alien, or kaiju—be left standing when the smoke clears? Erik Burnham (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures) and Dan Schoening (Transformers/Ghostbusters: Ghosts of Cybertron) continue their contemporary take on the King of Monsters with this sequel to Godzilla: Monsters & Protectors--Rise Up!

Ghidorah is about to attack Tokyo. Cedric and his friends know they need to call on Godzilla for help, but will the King of the Monsters listen and return for a rematch against Ghidorah? And has Godzilla healed enough to put up a fight? What if it hasn’t? That’s where new friend Karen comes in: she’s able to call another monster…another king. From the shores of Okinawa, King Caesar is summoned to help humanity! It’s the penultimate chapter of All Hail the King!
