The story of Godzilla’s shocking downfall will unfold on January 7, 2026, when writer Tim Seeley and artist Nikola Čižmešija bring their first major arc to a close in IDW Publishing’s Godzilla #6. The issue promises a dramatic turning point for the series, depicting the fall of the King of the Monsters in a way that fans have never seen before. To commemorate the event, artist Dan Jurgens has created a tribute cover that echoes one of comics’ most famous finales.
Since its debut earlier this year, Tim Seeley’s run has been redefining the Godzilla mythos for a new generation. Dubbed the “Kai-Sei Era” by readers, this ongoing series blends classic kaiju destruction with superhero-style storytelling. Critic Robbie Billups of Pop Culture Philosophers calls it “one of the most original and interesting takes on the Godzilla mythology in comic book form.”
While the full circumstances surrounding Godzilla’s apparent demise remain top secret, fans can expect the story to pave the way for a bold new direction. February’s Godzilla #7, by Seeley and artist Hendry Prasetya, will reveal the monster’s mysterious rebirth as Kai-Sei Energy Godzilla, a transcendent being of pure cosmic force.
Pre-orders for Godzilla #6, featuring Dan Jurgens’ homage cover, close on November 24, 2025 at comic shops everywhere.
