Godzilla has been Toho’s most famous creation ever since it first made its appearance in the 1954 black and white epic kaiju horror film of the same name. Since then, the massive radioactive force of nature has starred as the main…character(?) in no less than 33 of Toho’s films. With those films making the saurian kaiju famous throughout the world. Heck, the fact that Godzilla got its own star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2004 should tell you all you need to know about its fame…or rather, infamy.

That fame is why Godzilla has made cameos in a number of Marvel comics over the years. All as a giant monster for the Marvel heroes to fight and defeat. Now though, this kaiju is about to get another chance to fight the Marvel heroes in GODZILLA DESTROYS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE. Toho International and Marvel Comics are teaming up for this collab, with Gerry Duggan (Deadpool) as the writer and Javier Garrón (Avengers) as the artist. In this five-issue collab comic, Godzilla will face off against the likes of the Hulk, Spider-Man, X-Men, the Avengers, and Thor in a series of one-shots as they try to stop its rampage.

GODZILLA DESTROYS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE #1 will be available for digital and print on July 16, 2025. However, you can preorder it right now from the Marvel Unlimited app for iOS and Android devices, or from your local comic book shop at ComicShopLocator.com.

That’s not all, folks! Toho and Marvel have an official synopsis to tease the plot of GODZILLA DESTROYS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE. You can read that 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 Earth’s 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. It’s all hands on deck in the FIRST of FIVE electrifying chapters in this epic saga!

GODZILLA DESTROYS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE #1 Launching on July 16

Honestly, this looks like it will be a treat for Godzilla and Marvel fans alike. Especially since the King of Monster’s depiction seems to be quite faithful to his original incarnations. It’s meant to be an unstoppable force of destruction, after all. And what better way to show that than to have the Bringer of Destruction bring destruction to the entire Marvel multiverse?
