From IDW's official solicitation info:

The FIRST LOOK at IDW’s new Godzilla universe. Each of these books is a fresh exploration on what it means to be a Godzilla comic—from a group of mercenaries that fly through space in Mechagodzilla to a strange wasteland inhabited by a half-kaiju, half-human freak, to a bold superhero take on G-Force.

According to Godzilla editor Jake Williams the issue will "introduce readers to new characters, premiere new Kaiju, and serve as the launching point for our new Godzilla continuity."

"We challenged ourselves to build up a world around Godzilla that is as interesting as the King of the Monsters itself," said Williams, "A new continuity filled to the brim with super powered humans, kaiju half breeds, stories across Earth and Space, and a fresh new take on Godzilla itself. All in service of one singular goal: tell Godzilla stories that can only exist on the pages of a comic book. Big, bold, bizarre--and above all, cool as hell."
