Following Godzilla vs. Fantastic Four #1 and Godzilla vs. Hulk #1, this latest installment throws Spider-Man into a retro showdown. The story unfolds after 1984's Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars, shortly after Peter Parker's return from Battleworld and his initial experiences with the alien symbiote. With his newfound powers, Spider-Man faces his greatest challenge yet: Godzilla.
Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1 is written by Joe Kelly (the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man relaunch), illustrated by Nick Bradshaw (Wolverine and the X-Men), and features cover art by Bradshaw, Lee Garbett, and Greg Land.
"The moment I heard about a '80s-set Godzilla/Spidey crossover, I practically jumped across the table to claim it," Kelly shared with IGN. "This book lets us go wild with two iconic characters, capturing the chaotic energy of that era. Nick Bradshaw perfectly captures the absurdity while giving Godzilla and Spidey (in his… ahem… black suit) the respect they deserve. It's a love letter with an earth-shattering roar!"
This isn't the first superhero-Godzilla clash; DC's Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong (with a sequel in the works) featured the MonsterVerse versions. Marvel's series, however, showcases the classic Toho Godzilla.
This announcement follows the reveal of IDW's Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1, a wildfire relief charity anthology.
Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1 hits shelves April 30, 2025. For more on upcoming comics, check out Marvel's and DC's 2025 plans.
