This is nothing more and nothing less than cheesy Bronze Age Marvel goodness. I know the plots are preposterous and the dialogue overblown, but the art is dynamic and definitely worth looking at, and besides: it's just so darn fun! I mean, look at it this way: Godzilla vs. The Fantastic Four? Godzilla vs. Devil Dinosaur? Godzilla vs. Dastardly Cowboys? Godzilla AND Devil Dinosaur vs. Angry Cavemen? You won't hear me complaining about hokey dialogue when you have a Pym-particle-miniaturized six-inch-tall Godzilla fighting a sewer rat. That is GOLD. Definitely worth looking through once, at least, if you care even a little about Marvel Comics or Godzilla.

A fun collection of Marvel's strange in-universe take on Godzilla.
The majority of the collection features SHEILD and an increasingly annoyed Dum Dum Dugan following the big G as he knocks things over but we get some giant robot fun and one stand out issue in Vegas that is almost Vertigo-esque.
As fun as the stories are, the terrible binding in the Marvel Essential editions make the collection itself very hard to recommend. Mine had become detached from the binding after only a couple of reads.
