Spider-Man to Face Godzilla in Epic Clash

Marvel's upcoming Godzilla crossover continues with a thrilling new installment: Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1! This one-shot special pits the King of the Monsters against the wall-crawling hero in a retro showdown set shortly after the events of 1984's Secret Wars. Witness Spider-Man, still grappling with the newly acquired alien symbiote suit, facing an unprecedented threat to New York City.

This exciting clash follows the previously released Godzilla vs. Fantastic Four #1 and Godzilla vs. Hulk #1, all featuring the classic Toho Godzilla design. Joe Kelly, writer of the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man relaunch, pens this story, bringing his unique brand of humor and action to the page. Nick Bradshaw (known for his work on Wolverine and the X-Men) provides the art, with additional cover art by Bradshaw, Lee Garbett, and Greg Land.

Kelly shared his enthusiasm, stating, "This book is a chance to go wild with two iconic characters, capturing the chaotic energy of the 80s. Nick Bradshaw perfectly embodies the absurdity while giving Godzilla and Spidey (in his…black suit!) the gravitas they deserve. It’s a love letter with an earth-shattering roar!"

While DC Comics recently released Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong, Marvel's series offers a distinct take, focusing on the classic Toho version of the monster. This release also follows the announcement of IDW's Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1, a charity anthology.

Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1 stomps into comic shops April 30, 2025. Stay tuned for more updates on Marvel and DC's 2025 comic book releases.
