After weeks of speculation and rumor, that rumbling sound in the distance has finally been revealed: Godzilla is coming! Criterion has officially announced Godzilla: The Showa Era as release number 1000! The set will include the entire Showa Era of Godzilla (1954-1975), which saw the debut of the titan in the aftermath of World War II, and concluded over twenty years later with the delightfully-campy  Terror of Mechagodzilla.  This is the first time such a comprehensive set has ever been released outside of Japan, and it sure sounds like it's going to be the prestigious release that fans of the series have wanted for decades.
