'Godzilla vs. Spider-Man' #1 Swings into Stores April 30
Godzilla will roar into Marvel's iconic 1980's era in April.
Fresh from facing off with the Fantastic Four and the Incredible Hulk, the King of the Monsters is set to stomp across a certain web slinger on April 30 in Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1.
Written by Joe Kelly (Deadpool, I Kill Giants), with cover and interior art by Nick Bradshaw (The Thing, Star Wars: Inquisitors), Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1 will be set in Spidey's post-Secret Wars era, complete with a black costume, a Black Cat, and '80s work woes at the Daily Bugle.
Fresh from the original SECRET WARS, PETER PARKER A.K.A. THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN returns to Earth with a spiffy new (alien) costume without a care in the world except for a complicated love triangle with MJ and Black Cat…and unbelievable pressure at the Daily Bugle…rent…bills…super-villains…oh, and GODZILLA IS IN NEW YORK CITY with all its destructive power aimed squarely at the wall-crawler! Don’t miss the two most popular characters in pop culture history absolutely going at it in this kaiju-sized slugfest for the ages!
"The second I heard that there was going to be a Godzilla x Spidey crossover set in the ‘80s, I almost leapt across the table to claim it," said Kelly, "This book is a chance to go nuts and have a blast with two iconic characters and channel the chaos of the time period that I was actively collecting Spider-Man. Nick Bradshaw really captures the absurdity of the concept and the vibe I was going for, while at the same time giving Godzilla and Spidey (in his perfectly-normal-nothing-weird-here-black suit!) the prestige and gravity they deserve. It's a love letter served with an earth shattering roar!"
