What’s going on inside the Deadzone?! Find out in the second book of the KAI-SEI ERA, IDW’s new connected Godzilla universe!
Inside the new IDW Godzilla universe, there exists a mystery larger than any other…what is the Deadzone? Inhabitants of this new world know the Deadzone to be a walled-off portion of the Pacific Northwest, sequestered after the most disastrous Godzilla attack the country has ever faced. The government would have its citizens believe that nothing is still alive inside the Deadzone…but do you believe that?

There are stories of a man. Or rather…a half kaiju, half man…who travels freely throughout the Deadzone. Some say he can even kill a kaiju. Some say…he’s not the only of his kind.

Journey into this mysterious new world in Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone with the Eisner-nominated writing duo Griffin Sheridan and Ethan S. Parker (Kill Your Darlings) and fan-favorite artist Pablo Tunica (TMNT/Ghostbusters 2, Sea Serpent’s Heir).

The crew made it to London, infiltrated the base, dealt with the double-crossers, and stole Mechagodzilla! Now, all they have to do is get this 200-foot mechanical monstrosity out of London... and avoid the King of the Monsters as they do it. Unfortunately for them, Godzilla is already angry, and nothing gets it worked up more than an artificial imposter. What began as a heist will end as the fight of the century.
