Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe This July

Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe in Massive Crossover Event

Get ready for the biggest comic book event of the summer. Marvel Comics and Toho International are unleashing a seismic showdown in Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe, a five-issue limited series beginning July 16, 2025.

Written by fan-favorite Gerry Duggan (X-Men, Deadpool) and drawn by superstar artist Javier Garrón (Avengers, Miles Morales: Spider-Man), this crossover promises to shake the Marvel Universe to its core—literally.

Thanks to a groundbreaking partnership between Marvel and Toho, the King of the Monsters returns to the pages of Marvel Comics in a full-scale invasion that pits Godzilla against Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and most dangerous villains. From the streets of New York to the depths of the Dark Dimension, nowhere is safe from the monster’s wrath.

A Kaiju-Sized Threat

The story picks up after a series of recent one-shots that teased Godzilla’s return. Now fully awakened and on a path of destruction, Godzilla becomes an existential threat no one hero—or even team—can face alone. As the Marvel Universe scrambles to respond, shocking alliances form, secrets are uncovered, and the collateral damage mounts.

Highlights from the upcoming series include:

• A cataclysmic brawl between Hulk and Godzilla
• Godzilla bonded with a symbiote
• An ancient Celestial entering the fray
• The monster’s mysterious link to Vibranium—and Wakanda

Creative Team Hype

For Duggan, this is more than just another Marvel event—it’s a dream project. “Godzilla was as important to me as Marvel Comics growing up,” he said. “This is the very biggest event of the summer, and everyone is getting in on the action.”

Artist Javier Garrón shares the excitement. “It’s a no-holds-barred conflict, and I’m having the time of my life wreaking havoc with Gerry and the rest of the team.”

Editor Mark Paniccia added, “Fans have seen some wild and unexpected moments, but I promise you this series will leave everyone stunned and craving more.”

What This Means for Marvel Fans

This isn’t just another monster-of-the-week story. Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe is a love letter to both Marvel’s epic superhero legacy and Godzilla’s 70-year reign as the King of the Monsters. It’s packed with fan-favorite characters, jaw-dropping moments, and enough destruction to level entire dimensions.

Whether you’re a long-time Godzilla enthusiast or a Marvel diehard, this is one event you can’t afford to miss. With a killer creative team and a monster-sized threat, Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe is set to become a milestone in comic book history.
