Following a series of one-shots pitting Godzilla against various Marvel heroes like Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four, the King of Monsters is back for an epic showdown in Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe, a five-issue event series made in partnership between Toho International and Marvel Comics.
Due for release on 16 July, the five-part series will be written by X-Men writer Gerry Duggan and artist Javier Garrón (Uncanny X-Men, Uncanny Avengers), with its cover art by Mark Brooks (New Mutants, Young Avengers) depicting a battle between Godzilla and various Marvel superheroes like Captain America, Wolverine, Iron Man and the Fantastic Four.
According to Marvel, the series will star a cast of iconic Marvel heroes and villains, packed with moments that are sure to delight fans such as Godzilla battling an ancient Celestial, being bonded to a Venom symbiote and facing off between the Hulk.
“Godzilla has always been a relentless force of nature, and battling the icons of the Marvel Universe is the perfect way to celebrate 70 years of the King of Monsters,” said General Manager of Toho International Kristin Parcell in a statement, “Our continued collaboration with Marvel, bringing Godzilla into the vast Marvel Universe, guarantees an unmatched, electrifying experience for fans of both legendary franchises.”
The first issue of Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe will be released in comic shops and on digital platforms on 16 July 2025. Check out the comic quintet’s synopsis below:
A previously dormant Godzilla has been angrily awoken and begun carving a path of annihilation as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes band together to try and stop its cataclysmic rampage! But when their combined efforts fail to slow the Bringer of Destruction, Earth’s heroes are forced to go to extraordinary lengths to try and bring Godzilla down — including joining forces with Earths most devious villains!
But will this be enough to stop Godzilla as it tears straight through the Marvel Universe into the Dark Dimension and other realms? Plus, how is the King of the Monsters connected to the mysterious metal, Vibranium, and what does this mean for Wakanda? In the face of an unstoppable force of nature, the Marvel Universe must come together like never before in this earth-shattering fight for Earth’s survival.
