The Press Release:
Godzilla’s rampage across the Marvel Comics Universe continues into the stars this February in GODZILLA: INFINITY ROAR! Just revealed at New York Comic Con’s Retailer Panel, the five-issue series will be written by Gerry Duggan, who made a surprise appearance at the panel, and drawn by Javier Garrón, reuniting the pair after their hit work together on Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe. The series will also feature art by Ig Guara.
GODZILLA: INFINITY ROAR is the latest chapter in Godzilla’s epic crossover saga with Marvel Comics, following Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe, which concludes in November, and this past year’s Godzilla Vs. one-shots. After leaving a scorching mark on Marvel’s heroes, Godzilla ascends into space to unleash cosmic chaos! Prepare for one of the most terrifying transformations in Godzilla history when the King of the Monsters joins forces with the King in Black, A.K.A. Knull, the God of Symbiotes, a startling image first teased in Godzilla Vs. Spider-Man #1.
EARTH’S MIGHTIEST HEROES UNLEASH THE GALAXY’S DEADLIEST THREAT AS GODZILLA RAMPAGES ACROSS THE COSMOS!
The combined forces of Earth’s mightiest heroes managed to spare Earth by exiling Godzilla off into space…but in doing so may have just heralded the end of the larger galaxy! As Knull, the god of the symbiotes fans the flames of Godzilla’s anger, a new campaign for galactic conquest begins with the King of the Monsters and the King in Black at the helm! Will the cosmos be able to band together to stop the two juggernauts, or will a new era of death and destruction descend upon the cosmos? One things for sure, from the Galactic Empire of Wakanda, Shi’ar Empires, Kree-Skrull space and beyond, no planet will be safe as Godzilla destroys the Marvel galaxy!
“Most movie stars are a giant pain in the ass, but not Godzilla, who has been a privilege and a joy to collaborate with, and the fun will continue in outer space,” Duggan shared. “And I can say the ideas that are in the mix now are going to make this the biggest, craziest and most dangerous Godzilla crossover ever. The Marvel Universe has never been in more peril! See you in space.”

PiercingMetal Thoughts: I’ve probably pointed out more times than I can count about how much I love the legendary kaiju Godzilla. My indoctrination into his brand of monster mayhem began very early in my childhood but I am not of the vintage to have seen him on screen with the first few movies. I’d see them later on in syndication on a little black and white television in my grandmother’s apartment and sometimes with her on showings that were newly released or returning to theaters. Once the famed 4:30 Movie was doing its thing and had “Monster Week” there was no going back. I know, I’m rambling but that’s because we’re hitting the New York Comic Con for the next few days and its half excitement and advance exhaustion since I’ve been posting all of the advance news and trying to keep up with industry broadcasts that come during the show. I’ll be grabbing this one once “Godzilla Destroys The Marvel Universe” completes its run and I think it will be an interesting and fun read. What do you readers think about this one? Will you be adding it to your pull list? Chime in down below with that information and also let me know if you will be heading to the New York Comic Con. My hope is to see some of our friends across the adventure and if you want to keep pace with the posts from the event just click HERE. See you next time. Go Go Godzilla!!!!
