Electrogor is one of a new group of prisoners at Kaijumax, the maximum security prison for giant monsters. As he tries to figure out how to escape and get back to his beloved children, he must contend with violent and unstable inmates, corrupt and power-mad guards, and an uncaring system that wants him to disappear forever. Illustrated in a candy-colored, cartoonish style, Cannon's story might seem to be a joke at first, aimed at fans of kaiju films such as Godzilla. But the pain and horror of prison life are no laughing matter, and readers will ache with sympathy for some characters, while seething with frustration or anger over others. Death, rape, and violence are all prevalent, as are corruption, greed, and shortsightedness. Though the various subplots are a bit confusing at first, especially as readers learn to understand the prison slang, liberally sprinkled with kaiju references, Cannon is a top-notch writer and illustrator, and readers will be sucked into his unique, yet familiar, world.
