The Godzilla Library Collection is a comprehensive line of books that will collect every Godzilla comic series by IDW!

Move over, dinosaurs…monsters used to rule the planet! Travel to different time periods to examine the origin of myths that fueled nightmares in Rage Across Time! Visit feudal Japan, ancient Greece, medieval England, classic Rome, and the Cretaceous in these stories by Ulises Fariñas, Erick Freitas, Chris Mowry, Ryan Ferrier, Matt Frank, Tadd Galusha, Jeff Zornow, and more!

In Godzilla: Rivals, Godzilla faces off with Hedorah, Mothra, King Ghidorah, and Battra! Across the grimy street of New York City, in the deep waters of Japan, and over the crimson sands of Mars, Godzilla defends its reign, facing each fearsome adversary one-on-one. These stories provide an all-out, knockdown kaiju brawl of epic proportions by Paul Allor, E.J. Su, Mary Kenney, SL Gallant, Adam Gorham, Rosie Knight, and Oliver Ono.

Then, in Godzilla: Here There Be Dragons, a ship of seafaring navigators in the 16th century runs afoul of a lost world where there is only one king, the King of the Monsters! “Here there be dragons” was written on maps to denote areas people dared not go, but as Sir Francis Drake circumnavigates the globe, he finds that monsters do lurk yonder, living on an island that still doesn’t appear on any map. By Frank Tieri and Inaki Miranda.

​Travel through history with Godzilla in this trilogy of graphic novels full of action, adventure, and intrigue! From the 1500s to the 1950s, Godzilla battles from the age of discovery to the age of UFOs!

This omnibus collects the complete trilogy of Godzilla: Here There Be Dragons, Godzilla: Here There Be Dragons II—Sons of Giants, and Godzilla: Here There Be Aliens by writer Frank Tieri and artists Inaki Miranda and Angel Hernandez for the first time. 

Before humanity had successfully traveled the entire globe, it was believed that monsters ruled the oceans just beyond the horizon. “Here there be dragons…” was written on maps to denote the areas people dared not go. That is, until Sir Francis Drake circumnavigated the seas, visiting foreign lands and collecting treasure. That’s what history tells us, at least, but history does not have the full tale. Monsters did lurk yonder, living on an island that still doesn’t appear on any map, and among them was the king of them all…Godzilla!

Then, in the sequel, discover the shadowy society that controls the secrets of the kaiju, from ancient Rome to colonial America and beyond. Who are the members of this Illuminati-esque cult, known only as the Sons of Giants, and what is their mission? More importantly, how have they been pulling the strings of every major kaiju encounter since the dawn of time?

In the finale, it’s the middle of the 20th century, and Americans everywhere are terrified of the strange lights hovering above them in the night sky…and they should be. These UFOs are actually the Xilien invasion force! Revealed to have already been on Earth during the events of Sons of Giants, the Xiliens have been attempting to destabilize the planet with the help of kaiju from outer space. With the aliens’ claws deep inside the U.S. government, will our rogue operatives manage to band together to save humanity? 

Read all three graphic novels in one collection for the first time!

​Brand-new Godzilla design! Brand-new talking monsters! Brand-new kaiju-powered humans! Brand-new world! A new Godzilla comics universe begins here—collected here in a compact black-and-white format!

In 1954, experimentation with a mysterious energy source known as kai-sei awakened Godzilla and a host of immortal kaiju. In the years that followed, humanity has been pummeled by near-constant monster attacks. While Japan has begun to treat the kaiju like natural disasters—understanding that their attempts to fight Godzilla only make the threat worse—the American G-Force is going to fight, fight, fight.

And the Americans have just discovered the ultimate tool in the fight against kaiju: a young boy named Jacen with the power of Godzilla. Able to harness the mysterious kai-sei in the same vein as the King of the Monsters, this boy will either save the world…or bring about its doom. Join Tim Seeley (Grayson, Hack/Slash, Local Man), and Nikola Čižmešija (Sword of Azrael, Batman and Robin) on the ride of a lifetime! 

Collects issues #1–6 of the brand-new ongoing series—and concludes with the most shocking twist Godzilla fans have ever seen. This volume is the entry point to the new Godzilla connected comic book universe shared with Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone and Starship: Godzilla!

You didn’t think kaiju were only on Earth, did you? 

In the fight for galactic supremacy, no weapon is more powerful than a kaiju…and no team is better equipped to capture and transport these titanic monsters than the crew of Starship Godzilla!

This ragtag group flies through space in Mechagodzilla and takes high-risk, high-reward missions across the galaxy. A kaiju heading toward your planet? Give them a call. A colossal space pest clogging up your trade route? They’ll get rid of it. A galactic civil war utilizing kaiju on both sides? They’ll…uh…do their best to stay out of it. But where there’s a galactic war, there’s a galactic conspiracy, and our crew members may not all land on the same side of this fight. 

A brand-new kaiju space epic starts here in Starship Godzilla from Chris Gooch (In Utero, Under-Earth) and Oliver Ono (Godzilla: Monster Island Summer Camp)! Part of the new Godzilla connected comic book universe with Godzilla (Kai-Sei Era) and Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone!

​Journey into the Deadzone! A wasteland filled with human/monster hybrids, strange cults, and more kaiju than you’ve ever imagined—all set in the world of the all-new Godzilla Kai-Sei Era. Collected here in a compact black-and-white format!

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, cordoned off 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…this “wanderer” is not the only of his kind. Follow the Wanderer as he encounters the strangest characters to hit comics in a decade: Glasseater and Runt! Two kaiju-controlling kids who are being hunted for their strange abilities. Together, these three will run afoul of Godzilla-worshipping churches, the world’s biggest Godzilla fan (literally!), and an underground kaiju fight ring. 

Journey into this mysterious new world with writers Griffin Sheridan and Ethan S. Parker (Kill Your Darlings) and artist Pablo Tunica (Godzilla/Ghostbusters 2, Sea Serpent’s Heir). Part of the new Godzilla connected comic book universe with Godzilla [Kai-Sei Era] and Starship: Godzilla!
