It's written by James Patrick, who's done similar work previously in Kaiju Score.

This story's big monster is rooted in the past. Issue #1 opens in that past, with the " last of [the dragons] " meeting with some humans.

The subject of their meeting was the truce between dragons and humans.

( The humans were the ones raising the question. )

#2'd ended on the kaiju danger forecast for Florida - one, the Gamera-like Mujara - doubling in reality.

Inside the museum they'd come to rob while it was mostly evacuated, Marco and his crew processed this turn.

Marco spelled out how much worse things'd become: " This is the scenario San Diego saw, and they're still putting parts of that city back together.

" And I can tell by their tails that Mujara and Ikattu have begun textbook posturing behavior. "

( Outside, the tails of the two monsters snapped, slicing through air. )

It was Catrin after the end of #4, tucked into herself in the Underbrush she'd followed her ex-Life Partner Rhion into.

She opened her eyes, in her apartment in grey.

Her phone, which Rhion'd been created from and fled, rang.

" Heh.. hello? "

" Goodbye, Catrin. " said Rhion.

( Tears sprang to Catrin's eyes. )

#1'd been the job's pitch - the theft of $30-50 million in valuable art, in the midst of a giant monster's natural migration through Florida, where the art was.

#2 had the crew getting the opportunity they'd been waiting for in a storage shed - the kaiju Mujara, spotted one hundred miles out from Miami, had come ashore.

They opened up the shed, got on the ATVs they'd kept in the shed with them, and set out across evacuated roads.

( There was chatter along the way. )

It's " pull off a big robbery while everyone's distracted by an event ", where the event is kaiju.

The man with the plan's Marco, outlining his idea to people whose buy-in he wants.

' I could see by the look in their eyes I had convinced them- '

( Then he saw a raised hand. )

#1'd been her relationship with Rhion (her Life Partner, created from her phone, tailored to her to be her own) and their separation.

#2 opened on her spending a day with herself.

The day after that, she went out.

( She was hungry. )

She'd been saved from wolves at the end of #2 by the man she'd been seeking, the Trader.

He was getting ready to go on his way.

She asked him for ammo for her crusade against against the men who'd killed her father and brother and everyone in her town whose lifestyles'd defied that of the nearby modern city.

He said no.

She bargained with him, offering to help him pack up, and to cook him some food - in return for ammunition and training in how to shoot.

He said yes.

( The training began, with the gun she'd taken from her dead father and the targets the Trader'd set up for her.. )
