Godzilla's Monsterpiece Theatre

Issue #2

Dracula, whose help was reluctantly sought by the Time Machinist, led Daisy into his castle in Transylvania after a brief confrontation with Sherlock Holmes. With his supernatural vision, Dracula watched Godzilla burst out of the Black Sea coast of Romania.

Issue #3

As Godzilla made landfall in Transylvania, encountering a pack of werewolves, Dracula gave Daisy Buchanan a tour of his castle. Aboard L'Albatros, Gatsby ordered the airship onward to Dracula's Castle, explaining that he was following the tracking device secretly injected into Daisy and every other member of G-Force as part of their inoculations. Meeting and picking up Dr. Frankenstein and his creation, Monstrum Üpsilon, with them; G-Force continued towards Transylvania, traveling parallel to Godzilla. When they passed the monster, he aimed a blast of atomic breath at him, but they evaded it.

The gates of the castle resisted the Maser's ray, but Frankenstein commanded his monster to smash through it. Armed with a stake and hammer, Gatsby scoured the castle for Daisy, escaping from numerous vampires along the way. They embraced, and while he checked to see if she had become a vampire, he added that she could make him one too. Tom, following close behind, furiously attacked Gatsby, and the men failed to notice Holmes's presence until he was diving towards them. He grabbed both their faces in his talons, but was repulsed by the reappearance of the Time Machinist, noticeably aged and sporting a beard. He fired a freeze ray at Holmes, then armed G-Force with wrist-mounted stakes. Meanwhile, Dracula used a flying machine to stare down Godzilla and tried to control his mind, but the monster batted the machine away. No sooner had Dracula leapt to the ground than Üpsilon attacked. Matching his strength, Dracula quickly seized control of Üpsilon's mind, and as the creature held back most of G-Force, did the same to the defiant Time Machinist. He handed a square-cube ring over to Dracula, which the vampire used to make Utma Utep, who had just arrived to challenge Godzilla, the monster's equal in size. Mummy and kaiju wrestled as Dracula basked in this newfound power and Gatsby vowed to stop him. He told Daisy he loved her, which she had always wanted to hear, but wasn't enough to break Dracula's control over her. Gatsby, Tom, and Watson desperately held off Dracula's vampires as he grew a nearby werewolf and Üpsilon to add to Godzilla's woes. He tried to grow himself next, but the Time Machinist explained that someone else had to point it at the target. Dracula gave the ring to Daisy, and though able to voice her hatred of him, she nonetheless complied. As Godzilla contended with four monsters, Holmes advanced on Gatsby. He apologetically drove his stake through Holmes's heart, Watson holding the detective as he vanished.

Even outnumbered four to one, Godzilla still managed to overpower his opponents. As he strangled Dracula, the vampire commanded Daisy to use the ring on him a second time. Though she could not stop herself from using the ring, Gatsby agreed to stand in its path. He grew into the Great Gatsby, holding back the werewolf with one arm while decking Dracula with the other. Godzilla grabbed the vampire's cape, spun him around, and hurled him into space, where the rising sun disintegrated him. Godzilla and Gatsby then turned on each other as the rest of G-Force could only watch, Tom deriding Daisy for choosing the man-turned-monster. Godzilla charged his atomic breath, which Gatsby, upon seeing Daisy in the castle window, blocked with his body. Resisting the ray, he advanced towards Godzilla, then shut his mouth with the ray was still firing, triggering a massive explosion. Daisy feared Gatsby dead, but found him in the ruins of the castle, returned to normal size. They failed to find the Time Machinist, though they hoped he returned to the time stream, while Godzilla traveled east, terrorizing Odessa and shrugging off fire from the Russian battleship Potemkin.
