Taking place across various eras of both Marvel Comics AND Godzilla storytelling, these highly anticipated one-shots span the decades as Godzilla fights Marvel’s First Family in the Silver Age, throws down with the Hulk during the character’s influential ‘70s adventures, dukes it out with Spider-Man during the Wall Crawler’s ‘80s Black suit era, targets mutantkind at the peak of the X-Men’s popularity in the ‘90s, and confronts the iconic 2000s New Avengers lineup of Earth’s Mightest Heroes. Then, for the grand finale, Godzilla marches toward the Golden Realm to face off against perhaps the only Marvel hero who can truly take him on singlehandedly—THE MIGHTY THOR! Jason Aaron makes his triumphant return to Asgard for a battle that will shake the heavens with roaring thunder!

Truth be told I look forward to the new Marvel Studios films more than most things that I enjoy these days. As an almost lifelong comic book fan, and a Marvel one, its been great to watch these characters fleshed out and entertaining the masses in the most bombastic of ways.

Are you ready for “Thor: Love and Thunder”?
