IDW RELEASES THE SCARIEST GODZILLA COMIC YET THIS SUMMER
Press release
LOS ANGELES, CA (February 16, 2026) – The shocking fear and astonishing devastation behind Godzilla’s first attack on humanity will be unleashed this summer.
Smashing into comics shops this July is the debut issue of the most spine-chilling kaiju comic book event you’ll ever experience: THE HORROR OF GODZILLA from Eisner-nominated co-writers Ethan S. Parker & Griffin Sheridan (Marvel Zombies: Red Band, GODZILLA: ESCAPE THE DEADZONE) and acclaimed horror artist Tristan Jones (EVENT HORIZON: DARK DESCENT, Aliens: Defiance). Set in 1954 Japan, witness the sheer terror behind Godzilla’s first horrifying onslaught on the human race and how the power behind its Kai-Sei energy has a frightening and transformative impact on humans exposed to the grim blasts.
“THE HORROR OF GODZILLA is for fans of Godzilla Minus One, Shin Godzilla, and Godzilla ‘54,” said editor Jake Williams. “It's a terrifying look at the Kai-Sei era's first Godzilla attack. It grabs the reader and places them on the ground in the middle of the most petrifying night in human history… the arrival of Godzilla. Through the power of Tristan Jones' visceral art style, this is the first Godzilla comic we've released that goes 100% in on horror. It very well might become the best Godzilla comic ever made… it's certainly the scariest.”
"Godzilla's been such a huge part of my life as far back as I can remember, and as someone that had Godzilla 1985 on near permanent loan from our local video store, and hounding my local bootlegger every day on the walk home from high school for the original Japanese cut, I'm genuinely hard-pressed to think of anything I've been this excited about in my career,” commented Jones. “As a storyteller that's become something of a fixture in the horror genre, it's a genuine honor and a thrill to work with Griffin and Ethan (and our incredible editor Jake) on a Godzilla story that leans so hard into my favorite visuals and even harder into things I always wished the films would. It's a huge departure from what I've been known for so far and everyone's given me incredible space to both try new things, and bring visuals to comics I'd never had a proper chance to before."
“The first year of the Kai-Sei Era found us in a world — a galaxy, even — steeped in kaiju, as we felt that was the best starting point for this universe,” stated Parker & Sheridan. “But now is the perfect moment to go back to the narrative bedrock, the genesis of our tale: humanity’s very first meeting with Godzilla. To not only be asked to tell this crucial chapter of the Kai-Sei saga, but also to make it as wild and horrific as possible… Oh, and Tristan Jones is going to draw it?! We’re beyond honored and cannot wait to share this one with readers.”

Can anyone stop Kai-Sei Energy Godzilla?!
The essence of Godzilla has been absorbed into a young man named Jacen. Curiously tied together by fate (or a sinister plot?), they now share a physical body. But no time to unravel this mystery—as without the King of the Monsters, kaiju have begun to trample across the United States!
Thus, with Jacen onboard or not, G-Force has made the decision to release Energy Godzilla. But…will they ever be able to put this Godzilla-sized genie back into the Jacen-sized bottle?

Press release
Godzilla is returning to the classics with Godzilla’s Monsterpiece Theatre Presents, a new four-issue line of oversized one-shot comics that drops the King of the Monsters into famous works of literature. The project follows the strong reception of Tom Scioli’s original Godzilla’s Monsterpiece Theatre limited series, which is now available in a collected edition. Scioli says the core idea has always been that “Godzilla has been with us for centuries, maybe millennia, hiding in the fringes of history and literature,” calling it a concept that is “full of possibilities.”
The upcoming release, Romeo & Juliet and Godzilla, reimagines Shakespeare’s tragedy on a kaiju scale, blending feuding families, budding romance, and large-scale destruction in Verona. Artist Sean Peacock says, “It’s such a treat to put my own spin on the King of the Monsters as well as one of The Bard’s most famous plays,” adding that reading Romeo & Juliet in ninth grade English never suggested a future where fair Verona would be “destroyed in a kaiju attack.” A fan of the original Monsterpiece Theatre, Peacock says there is “some really insane stuff in this book” and that the chance to contribute to the follow-up is an honor.
The comic is written by Adam Tierney, who credits Scioli with setting the tone. “Tom Scioli has invented such a unique take on Godzilla,” Tierney says. “It’s an honor to play in that sandbox and also reimagine one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays.” Tierney notes that the project may be the first IDW comic written in iambic pentameter and says the team leaned fully into the concept, adding, “I can’t wait for everyone to see all the craziness we’ve come up with.”
Each one-shot also includes a five-page backup story by Tom Scioli. For the debut issue, that backup pairs Godzilla with another literary icon in Robin Hood and the Monster of Nottingham, giving Sherwood Forest the Monsterpiece Theatre treatment. Scioli describes the backups as the “dessert and coffee” at the end of each issue, explaining that Godzilla Meets Robin Hood and His Merry Band of Outlaws is an ongoing feature made up of “self-contained minisodes” that combine into a larger epic. “I’ve been working really hard on it,” Scioli says. “Get ready to explore exciting new and old territory Godzilla’s never gone before.”
Editor Jake Williams says the original Godzilla’s Monsterpiece Theatre left an immediate impression. “When I first read the script, I had a smile on my face so big and dumb it almost hurt,” Williams says, calling it “an absolute masterpiece of cartooning, comedy, and heart.” Williams adds that comedy comics are often overlooked, but Scioli showed how Godzilla could be used “as a giant force for parody and laughs.” That same reaction returned, Williams says, when reading Tierney’s Romeo & Juliet and Godzilla script and seeing Peacock’s cartooning.
Romeo & Juliet and Godzilla goes on sale April 8, 2026, with pre-orders due by March 2. The issue runs 52 pages and is priced at $7.99 USD.
Check out all four cover variants of the comic and a 5 page preview.

THE DEATH OF GODZILLA TO FEATURE HOMAGE COVER BY COMIC ICON DAN JURGENS
"[The Kai-Sei era is] one of the most original and interesting takes on the Godzilla mythology in comic book form that I've ever read." - Robbie Billups, Pop Culture Philosophers
Press release
LOS ANGELES, CA (October 22, 2025) – The King of the Monsters is dead, long live the King of the Monsters.
2026 starts with a bang on January 7th in writer Tim Seeley and artist Nikola Čižmešija’s GODZILLA #6. This key issue of the blockbuster series will feature the gripping death of the iconic kaiju, and to celebrate the massive moment, comic book icon Dan Jurgens (The Death of Superman) has crafted a jaw-dropping “Death of” homage cover. As for how the pop culture icon falls, fans will have to read the issue themselves for the full story!
“When the good folks at IDW asked about the possibility of a special 'Death of Godzilla' cover that would play off the iconic cover that Brett Breeding and I did for Superman #75, I was definitely up for it,” remarked Jurgens. ”I’ve always been a fan of the big guy but hadn’t had a chance to draw him so this was the perfect way to scratch that itch. It was great fun to be able to contribute!”
“Allowing IDW to ‘kill’ Godzilla only six issues in to the new Kai-sei Era series just goes to show how much trust TOHO International has in both rock-star writer Tim Seeley and Eisner winning Godzilla editor Jake Williams,” stated Aaron John Gregory, Godzilla Product Development Manager. “These types of comic events cannot be handled lightly. In '92, as a young teenager I waited in a long line to buy a copy of Superman #75, ‘The Death of Superman’, and was blown away by the consequential brutality in those pages. I can tell you that the incredible team behind our new Kai-Sei era of Godzilla have delivered on that level; with all the electrifying excitement and pummeling panache you’ve come to expect in this series. You may need a kaiju-sized Kleenex.”
In true comic book fashion, this will not be the end of the beloved monster. In February’s GODZILLA #7 from writer Tim Seeley and artist Hendry Prasetya, fans will witness the mysterious return of Godzilla… freed from the constraints of its physical body and unleashed as its most powerful form ever: Kai-Sei Energy Godzilla!
“Comics should be insane. And personally, I can't think of a more insane way to end arc 1 of the first ongoing Godzilla series in over a decade than KILLING GODZILLA,” commented editor Jake Williams. “For anyone waiting to check out this series – now's the time to jump on. We're delivering a Godzilla unlike any other, and finally making good on our promise to showcase 'a boy with the power of Godzilla.'”
“Our goal is always to expand and reimagine the Godzilla mythology in bold and meaningful ways,” said Kristin Parcell, General Manager of Toho International. “The IDW comics line exemplifies that vision, offering stories that challenge expectations, captivate fans, and continue to evolve the legacy of the King of the Monsters.”
Fans have until November 24, 2025 to pre-order a copy of the can’t-miss GODZILLA #6, featuring the death of Godzilla, at their local comic shop.

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?

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.
