Romeo & Juliet & Godzilla

The premise is ingenious: we have the classic Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet most memorably told by William Shakespeare but we experience that story from the perspective of Godzilla.

How does Godzilla appear in the most well-known play? My immediate thought was to replace Friar Laurence with Godzilla as the cleric's personality and role in the story is very fitting for the great kaiju.

But it will be necessary to wait for the release of IDW Publishing's one-shot comic book on April 8 to know for sure. Godzilla's official website informs us that readers can expect love, intrigue, and the destruction of fair Verona.
