Godzilla’s march across the Marvel Universe begins next month! Over six groundbreaking one-shots, the King of Monsters faces off against iconic Marvel super heroes in battles set during different periods of both Godzilla and Marvel Comics history.

X-MEN #1! Arriving in May, GODZILLA VS. X-MEN takes place during the X-Men’s ‘90s heyday and will be written by one of that era’s key creators, Fabian Nicieza, known for his influential runs of X-Men and X-Force.
