A GMK Godzilla figure supports a standing copy of the Suplex & Sorcery trade paperback
An image from the NES Godzilla Creepypasta. Godzilla walks through an area of strange, green statues with human faces and raised hands. An energy projectile is forming in the sky ahead of him, above a pair of power-ups. There is a kaiju skull at Godzilla's feet.
The opportunity to metamorphose. Although the pains of a full-form transformation had dulled with repetition, her father had advised her, nonetheless, to dwell upon other matters until its resolution—for example, the recollection of poetry. A passage by ancient Eraneius came to mind: As a lioness, starving and alone, enters a village by night; She wanders until the scent of sustenance draws her towards a house, Whose door she nudges open to slip inside, then stalks towards the infant’s room, Sniffs the air, and at last finding the prey, rears up to feast from the cradle— So, too, did she find her husband and his mistress, and give their souls to the Pit.

I haven't read my copy yet but June's yarn in NESS #4 is my absolute favorite story of standard NESS length in all the issues I've read so far (1 - 5) so I am very comfortable giving this a hearty endorsement! And I know from talking to her that she knows her wrestling, so I am sure fellow wrestling fans will get something special out of it too. I often struggle when trying to read because of my mental issues and I have trouble figuring out what is going on in the story if the author is not wording things like they're just having a conversation with me. June's writing is really a breath of fresh air for me because I find her style exceptionally easy to follow. I never have to reread the same sentence several times to figure out what she is trying to tell me as I often do with most modern authors. And the stories themselves always have unique and powerful twists. So I would also highly recommend this to anyone with similar reading experiences. If you want to read something where you don't feel like the author is purposely trying to make it harder for you to understand what they're saying, June is your gal!
