New kaiju story in the works

If anyone's interested, I've been working on a new roster of kaiju lately. I'm going to rough out some designs pretty soon for a project in my Professional Practice class, so they'll be done in about two weeks or so.

For the story I'm going to do what Alan Moore did for "Watchmen," take different characters and base new ones off them and tell a unique story. Instead where he based his off the Charlton Comics universe, I'm basing mine off Godzilla. Kaibutsu is the Godzilla analogue, while there's also going to be ones for Mothra, Gigan, etc. 

The story is still in the planning stages, but what I'm aiming to do is depict what our world would be like if kaiju really existed. How would an engine of destruction like Godzilla or a godlike being such as Mothra influence our society? But there's a lot I still don't have. What will the aliens be like? Should I set it in Japan or America? When should it be set? Makes me wonder if I'll ever get the story complete. But you guys will get to see designs and hear the kaiju's origins, I promise. Two weeks
