'Godzilla vs. Thor' #1 Thunders into Comic Shops July 2
Can you say "GMK"? The white-eyed star of 2001's Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack is coming to the Marvel Universe for a fearsome fight with the God of Thunder this July 2 in Godzilla vs. Thor #1!

Written by longtime Thor scribe Jason Aaaron and illustrated by Aaron Kuder (Daredevil), Godzilla vs. Thor #1 serves as a concluding chapter in the Godzilla vs. Marvel series consisting of Godzilla vs. Fantastic Four #1, Godzilla vs. Hulk #1, Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1, Godzilla vs. X-Men #1, and Godzilla vs. Avengers #1.

From Marvel:
The deadly group of assassins known as THE HAND have bestowed GODZILLA with the power of THE BEAST! KRA-KOOM!!! THOR must defend MIDGARD from GODZILLA — but at what cost?!

"There are almost as many toy kaiju in my office as there are Mjolnirs, which is really saying something, so it made sense for me to bring two of my favorite characters together for one titanic clash," Aaron shared. "Aaron Kuder and I are using the Godzilla from 'Giant Monsters All-Out Attack', one of the most brutal and powerful versions of the King of the Monsters, so expect a colossal battle that I think will rival some of the most epic, cosmic throwdowns I've ever written with the God of Thunder."

Check out the Godzilla vs. Thor #1 main cover by Kuder, Foil Variant Cover by Mark Bagley, King of the Monsters Variant Cover by Gavin Guidry, Monster Homage Variant Cover by Nick Bradshaw, variant by Walter Simonson, variant by E.M. Gist, and versus variant Lee Garbett below.

'Godzilla Vs. Avengers' #1 Assembles 2000's Style In June
Press release
Marvel Comics' 2000s Brian Michael Bendis vibes are back with a Fin Fang Foom vengeance this June as the King of the Monsters confronts Earth's Mightiest Heroes (and more) in Godzilla vs. Avengers #1 releasing June 18th.

Written by David F. Walker (Planet of the Apes) with art by Georges Jeanty (Star Wars: Mace Windu), Godzilla vs. Avengers #1 will follow Godzilla vs. Fantastic Four #1, Godzilla vs. Hulk #1, Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1, and Godzilla vs. X-Men #1 into comic shops for a confrontation with not only Jet Jaguar and the 2000s era Avengers, but Marvel's own mighty monster, Fin Fang Foom.

From Marvel's official description:
The original New Avengers return to face an unstoppable enemy – GODZILLA! In the aftermath of a massive battle between Godzilla, Fin Fang Foom, the Avengers and Jet Jaguar, S.H.I.E.L.D. tries to make sense of what went down – but everyone’s telling a different story! What really happened during that fateful clash? Find out when Earth’s Mightiest Heroes take on Earth’s Mightiest Kaiju!

"As a child, I was raised on Godzilla movies, and as an adult, the New Avengers was a beautiful reminder of why I love comics,” Walker shared. “The lineup of iconic characters in the New Avengers was a beautiful mix of quirky personalities and big adventures that kept me coming back every month. Bringing Godzilla and the New Avengers together for an epic showdown has allowed me to work with characters I have loved for a long time, in a way that I hope is as entertaining for fans to read as it was for me to write."

"There are few things in life that feel better than when you get to recreate your childhood passions as a ‘serious’ adult," Jeanty shared. "Drawing this one-shot allowed me to package two things I loved in my youth, Godzilla and the Avengers, and put it in a comic book! It has been a joy drawing these pages. I hope everyone who picks up this book will see all the love that went into it."

The Giant of Light Teams with Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, and Captain Marvel in Battle Against the Main Villain of This Summer’s Fantastic Four Movie

This week celebrated Japanese superhero Ultraman and his fan favorite Ultra Brother Ultraman Taro are teaming up with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, The Avengers to battle one of the most powerful antagonists in the Marvel Universe—Galactus! The spectacle takes place in Ultraman X Avengers #4, releasing on Wednesday, February 26 from Marvel Comics.

The final issue of the Ultraman X Avengers miniseries from Marvel in collaboration with Tsuburaya Productions, and based on the renowned evergreen Ultraman franchise, the comic is cowritten by Kyle Higgins and Mat Groom with artwork by Francesco Manna. This is the fourth miniseries to come out of the multiyear license between Tsuburaya and Marvel, following The Rise of Ultraman, The Trials of Ultraman, and The Mystery of Ultraseven, each of which has been rereleased as a trade paperback available at comic book retail stores as well as digitally through Marvel Unlimited.

In issue #4 of Ultraman X Avengers, the Avengers and the Ultra Guard take to the stars in pursuit of Galactus. Even with Ultraman and Ultraman Taro as their frontline defense can they stop the Devourer of Worlds before he reaches his fateful destination—homeworld of the Ultras, the Land of Light? And which hero arrives with a surprise assist…in a giant transformable robot? Storyline features an all-star team of Avengers including Spider-Man (Peter Parker), Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Iron Man, Captain America, The Wasp, and Captain Marvel, along with nefarious Ultraman villain, Alien Zarab.

​“It has been a complete joy to work with Marvel Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski and Executive Editor Tom Brevoort and the amazing art team of Higgins, Groom, and Manna on Ultraman X Avengers,” said Jeff Gomez, Transmedia Producer for Tsuburaya Productions. “Helping to foster this historic crossover—and realize a ton of childhood fanboy fantasies—has been a true highlight for me as Ultraman continues his rise in American popular culture.”

“Ultraman facing off against Galactus is a battle for the ages and is a suitably spectacular finale for what has been an exceptional piece of storytelling,” said David Kornblum, President and CEO of Tsuburaya Fields Media & Pictures Entertainment. “We look forward to continuing our work with Marvel on the further adventures of the Giant of Light.”

Ultraman is a legendary giant from a faraway galaxy, who comes to Earth to protect us from giant monsters called Kaiju. He is aided by Japan’s Defense Teams, whose main purpose is to defend the Earth from monsters and aliens. For almost 60 years, Ultraman and his people, the Ultras, have been friends and guardians to humankind.

The Ultraman Universe first debuted in 1966 with the launch of the television series Ultra Q. Over the last 58+ years, the Ultraman franchise has spawned a record number of television series, films, video games, and more.
