Following the excitement of *Godzilla vs. Fantastic Four #1* in March and *Godzilla vs. Hulk #1* in April, *Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1* continues the trend of nostalgic throwback stories. Set shortly after the events of 1984's *Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars*, this issue finds Peter Parker back from Battleworld and adjusting to his new alien symbiote costume. He'll need all the power this suit provides when Godzilla threatens his city.

Penned by Joe Kelly, who's also steering the upcoming relaunch of *The Amazing Spider-Man*, and illustrated by Nick Bradshaw, known for his work on *Wolverine and the X-Men*, *Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1* promises an exhilarating adventure. The cover art, crafted by Bradshaw, Lee Garbett, and Greg Land, sets the stage for this epic clash.

Joe Kelly shared his excitement with IGN, saying, "The second I heard that there was going to be a Godzilla x Spidey crossover set in the ‘80s, I almost leapt across the table to claim it. This book is a chance to go nuts and have a blast with two iconic characters and channel the chaos of the time period that I was actively collecting Spider-Man. Nick Bradshaw really captures the absurdity of the concept and the vibe I was going for, while at the same time giving Godzilla and Spidey (in his perfectly-normal-nothing-weird-here-black suit!) the prestige and gravity they deserve. It's a love letter served with an earth-shattering roar!”

This isn't the first time Godzilla has crossed paths with Western superheroes; DC's *Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong* and its upcoming sequel have set the precedent. However, while DC's series featured the MonsterVerse versions, Marvel's issues delve into the classic Toho Godzilla.

This announcement follows IDW's *Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1*, an anthology special that supports wildfire relief efforts through its proceeds.

Mark your calendars—*Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1* hits the shelves on April 30, 2025.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates on what's coming up in the comic book world, including Marvel's and DC's plans for 2025.
