To me, my Kaiju!
Revealed by Marvel & Godzilla.com today, the next batch of heroes to face off against the King of the Monsters is none other than the X-Men! Touting a classic 90’s era costume, it only seems fitting that Godzilla’s look harkens back to that classic decade as well, with both being considered a high point in the history of both franchises. Marvel tapped frequent X-Men comic writer X-Men and X-Force scribe Fabien Nicieza to handle the story, with pencils by Emilio Laiso (Power Man: Timeless). Godzilla vs. X-Men #1 will feature a cover by Tony Daniel, plus variant covers by Mike McKone, Taurin Clarke, Nick Bradshaw, Chris Campana, Iban Coello, Lee Garbett, and Paolo Rivera.

In the book, “When a robotics firm draws a kaiju’s anger, the X-Men are called in to protect a world that hates and fears them from the counterattack of…GODZILLA! But what are the reasons for Godzilla’s attacks? And are the X-Men on the right side? Follow the X-Men as they take on THE KING OF MONSTERS before humanity sends forth the Sentinels to finish the job!“
“If you’d asked ten-year-old Fabian what he’d do for the chance to write Godzilla, he would have breathed fire and burned anyone up for the job to an uncomfortable crisp,” said Nicieza. “Combine Godzilla with a ‘vs.’ and an ‘X-Men,’ well, let’s just say I love the smell of burning writer in the morning. It smells like victory!”
Godzilla Vs. X-Men will be on comic book shelves beginning May 14. To find the nearest comic shop in your area, we encourage you to visit Comic Shop Locator.
