Earlier this month we brought you the news that Marvel Comics is teaming with Toho International for brand new series Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe. Following that announcement the publisher has now revealed a series of stunning variant covers for the series’ first issue, due for release in July 2025.
Following a series of history-spanning one-shots where Godzilla battled different Marvel heroes, the King of the Monsters takes on the combined might of Marvel’s greatest heroes in the five-issue series which hails from writer Gerry Duggan and artist Javier Garrón.
The new covers include a special Foil Variant Cover by Leinil Francis Yu, an Animation Variant Cover by Sean Galloway, an iconic Action Figure Variant Cover by John Tyler Christopher, and a piece by series artist Javier Garrón. Also revealed are the first of two variant cover programs that will be featured throughout the series: Fan Favorite Variant Covers that invite fan-favorite artists like E.J. Su to get in on the action and Marvelized Variant Covers that depict classic Marvel icons as Godzilla, which Dave Wachter kicks off with a terrifying depiction of THING-ZILLA!
A previously dormant Godzilla has been angrily awoken and begun carving a path of annihilation as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes band together to try and stop its cataclysmic rampage! But when their combined efforts fail to slow the Bringer of Destruction, Earth’s heroes are forced to go to extraordinary lengths to try and bring Godzilla down – including joining forces with Earths most devious villains! But will this be enough to stop Godzilla as it tears straight through the Marvel Universe into the Dark Dimension and other realms? Plus, how is the King of the Monsters connected to the mysterious metal, Vibranium, and what does this mean for Wakanda? In the face of an unstoppable force of nature, the Marvel Universe must come together like never before in this earth-shattering fight for Earth’s survival.
Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe #1 will be available at participating comic book stores and digital platforms from Wednesday, July 16, 2025.
