Following the releases of *Godzilla vs. Fantastic Four #1* in March and *Godzilla vs. Hulk #1* in April, *Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1* continues the trend of throwback stories set in earlier decades. This particular tale unfolds shortly after the events of 1984's *Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars*, where Peter Parker returns from Battleworld and faces the challenges of his new alien symbiote costume. As Godzilla descends upon the city, Spider-Man will need to harness every bit of his newfound power to protect his home.

Penned by Joe Kelly, who is also set to relaunch *The Amazing Spider-Man* series, *Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1* features artwork by Nick Bradshaw, known for his work on *Wolverine and the X-Men*. The cover art is a collaborative effort by Bradshaw, Lee Garbett, and Greg Land.

"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," Kelly shared with IGN. "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 clashed with Western superheroes. DC recently released *Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong*, with a sequel on the horizon. However, while DC's series focuses on the MonsterVerse versions of Godzilla and King Kong, Marvel's issues celebrate the classic Toho Godzilla.

This announcement follows the reveal of IDW's *Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1*, an anthology special with proceeds going to a wildfire relief charity.
