Peter Parker Battles Godzilla in Epic Showdown

Imagine the chaos and excitement if Godzilla were to rampage through the Marvel Universe. Marvel is bringing this thrilling scenario to life in a new series of one-shot crossover specials. IGN has the exclusive scoop on the third installment in this series: *Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1*.

Following the releases of *Godzilla vs. Fantastic Four #1* in March and *Godzilla vs. Hulk #1* in April, *Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1* continues the thrilling narrative. This new issue is set in the '80s, shortly after the events of *Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars*. Peter Parker, fresh from Battleworld and still adjusting to his new alien symbiote costume, faces the monumental challenge of defending his city against the colossal Godzilla.

Penned by Joe Kelly, who is also steering the upcoming relaunch of *The Amazing Spider-Man* series, *Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1* features artwork by Nick Bradshaw, known for his work on *Wolverine and the X-Men*. The cover art is a collaborative effort by Bradshaw, Lee Garbett, and Greg Land.

Joe Kelly shared his enthusiasm with IGN, saying, "The second I heard that there was going to be a Godzilla x Spidey crossover set in the ‘80s, I almost leapt across the table to claim it. This book is a chance to go nuts and have a blast with two iconic characters and channel the chaos of the time period that I was actively collecting Spider-Man. Nick Bradshaw really captures the absurdity of the concept and the vibe I was going for, while at the same time giving Godzilla and Spidey (in his perfectly-normal-nothing-weird-here-black suit!) the prestige and gravity they deserve. It's a love letter served with an earth-shattering roar!”

This isn't the first time Godzilla has clashed with Western superheroes. DC recently released *Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong*, with a sequel on the horizon. However, while DC's series features the MonsterVerse versions of Godzilla and King Kong, Marvel's issues focus on the classic Toho Godzilla.

This announcement follows the reveal of IDW's *Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1*, an anthology special with proceeds going to a wildfire relief charity.

Play*Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1* is set to hit the shelves on April 30, 2025.
