Hot off the announcement of Marvel’s initial crossover with Godzilla, titled Godzilla Vs. Fantastic Four, the comic book titan has unveiled two additional titles in the 6-issue crossover event. Godzilla Vs. The Incredible Hulk, by Gerry Duggan and drawn by artist Giuseppe Camuncoli, will answer readers on who truly is the strongest one there is. Interestingly, Godzilla Vs. Spider-Man, by Joe Kelly and Nick Bradshaw, will take place in the 1980’s shortly after the iconic Secret Wars book, in which Peter Parker heads back to earth with the alien symbiote. Kelly is also going to kick off a brand-new era for The Amazing Spider-Man beginning this March. Kaiju United has the full details from Marvel below, so read on true believers, and get ready for some awesome crossovers!
Last month, Marvel Comics announced an exciting evolution of their collaboration with Toho International, the Japanese studio’s U.S.-based subsidiary that has brought global sensation Godzilla to life, that would see the launch of all-new comic book series pitting Godzilla against iconic Marvel heroes!
Set in different Godzilla eras and taking place in different time periods of the Marvel Universe, these six groundbreaking one-shots begin in March with Ryan North and John Romita Jr.’s GODZILLA VS. FANTASTIC FOUR, and continue in April with GODZILLA VS. HULK and GODZILLA VS. SPIDER-MAN!
GODZILLA VS. HULK will be written by former Hulk scribe Gerry Duggan and drawn by acclaimed artist Giuseppe Camuncoli. And GODZILLA VS. SPIDER-MAN will be crafted by two iconic Spider-Man creators—Joe Kelly, who kicks off an all-new run of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN this March, and superstar artist Nick Bradshaw.

ROUND TWO: VS. THE INCREDIBLE HULK! General Ross has no tolerance for monsters in any form. With the Thunderbolts, his anti-kaiju taskforce, he’s taken down or imprisoned the biggest and baddest monsters on the planet: Fin Fang Foom, Mothra, Kumonga, even the Hulk. Now all that’s left is his biggest hunt of all… GODZILLA.
But the Thunderbolts’ efforts to bring their last monster to heel may just result in the most destructive battle royale to ever rock the earth. It’s time to figure out who’s really the strongest there is!
“I grew up loving Godzilla movies and Marvel Comics, and it’s a thrill to be able to collaborate with Giuseppe Camuncoli on the absolute craziest comic I think I’ve ever been a part of, and I worked on over a hundred issues of DEADPOOL (2012) and once wrote a comic about Conan killing a zombie with a call girl’s leg,” Duggan told ComicBook.com.

ROUND THREE: VS. THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN! Fresh from the original SECRET WARS (1984), Peter Parker, AKA 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… supervillains…o h, 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,” Kelly told IGN. “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.”
